Grab your spray paint and get a kick out of writing your name or whatever other thing that comes to mind. Fun little pit stop, though it's a shame that people litter so much when there's 2 dumpsters sitting right by the entrance.
I was in the Amarillo area and found some VW's stuck in the ground. I then decided to visit Cadillac Ranch. The cars are pretty destroyed, and the paint is ratty looking. Interesting but sort of funky. Visit the VW's instead. I40 and Route 207 - east of Amarillo.
Stopped as part of our Route 66 tour and as is customary signed our names, it was a good bit of fun on our trip. It literally is cadillacs buried in the ground.
I am from Texas. This has always been advertised as one of the places you have to visit. The first time we went was very cold. We went again in February. It was warm that day. We were not impressed the first time or the second time. Waste of time, but you may want to go, just to say you did.
On the left of I 40 as you head towards albuquorque Nice shopTen shells of Cadillacs All totally spraypainted by people ten times overInteresting
This is Histerical, a true tongue in check sight to see. Bring spray paint to make your mark, it is okay if you forget as there were a dozen or so cans available for use. Remember to use the dumpsters outside the gate as this is not an Offical State Historic site.
When you are on a long road trip you need stops like this! We arrived around 9 in the morning and it was just our luck that several people were leaving the site so we have the whole place to ourselves for spraying and photo ops. Its just a cool and different thing - why wouldn't you want to take a peek? We did take cans to use and gave them to others arriving. We also took extra bags with us and picked up some used cans that are littered about - sadly there is many. A fun 5 minutes.
We stopped by for a quick look as we passed through. We had seen this on television before, so we had to stop. Interesting. We didn't bring any spray paint with us since we hadn't planned on stopping.
I've driven past this attraction many, many times without slowing on the interstate. No matter what the weather, there is always at least one car stopped, often several. The Texas panhandle stretch of I-40 is not the liveliest place on earth, but the popularity of this bunch of half-buried cars is beyond my comprehension. Maybe it's the same thing that draws people up Mt. Everest--people go because it is there. In this instance, there is no challenge, just a cult-like groupie experience. Or maybe it is the opportunity to spray paint graffiti legally. Either way, I just can't relate.
Wow! a half dozen OLD Cadillac cars buried face down in a dirt field. Oh Joy! I must admit, it's a novelty and maybe a thrill for some people, but over the years the tourist/locals have trashed the place, and I would suggest having your 'shots' before entering, risk of infection or other things from cuts on the rusty metal. Children need to be supervised and watched, since they like to crawl and handle everything.It's just a novelty, only good if you need to stretch your legs and air out the car.
