Standing proudly along Route 66 west of Amarillo, Texas, Cadillac Ranch is a famously odd public art installation and sculpture. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels. The installation consists of 10 Cadillacs buried nose-first in the ground. Cadillac Ranch was invented and built by a group of art-hippies imported from San Francisco. They called themselves The Ant Farm, and their silent partner was Amarillo billionaire Stanley Marsh 3. He wanted a piece of public art that would baffle the locals, and the hippies came up with a tribute to the evolution of the Cadillac tail fin. Ten Caddies were driven into one of Stanley Marsh 3's fields at the summer solstice, then half-buried, nose-down, in the dirt, at a 60-degree angle (supposedly the same angle as the sloping sides of the Great Pyramid of Giza). They faced west in a line, from the 1949 Club Sedan to the 1963 Sedan de Ville, their tail fins held high for all to see on the empty Texas panhandle. That was in 1974. Decades have passed. The Cadillacs have now been in the ground as art far longer than they were on the road as cars. They are stripped to their battered frames, splattered in day-glow spraypaint, and barely recognizable as automobiles. Rendered by the talented artists of Anderson Design Group, this classic illustration will look great as a framed print, metal sign, canvas, or as a set of notecards or postcards.
