Description
In Texas, there is a ranch called the Cadillac Ranch. The owner permitted two artists in 1974 to build a sculpture using ten Caddies ranging from 1949 to 1963. They half-buried the Cadillacs and aligned them like the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. In 1997, the art display was moved from its original sight in a wheat field just outside the city of Amarillo to its current spot just off Route 40. The Cadillac pictured here has the pronounced fin on the back, which eventually �died� off the way of all old cars with character. The cars are periodically painted over but are never �free� of graffiti longer than 24 hours.

This is a fabulous capture - love the treatment and the cows in the background! L/F

Thanks Rebecca. It was a little weird walking around the cows, trying to capture these cars without stepping in cow pies!

Thanks Natalie. It was quite a site to take in. And of course, we added our “graffiti” to one of the cars, too.

Thanks Natalie. The wider shot shows the cattle walking all around the cars!
