3. Cadillac Ranch, Texas: In 1974 the late, local eccentric millionaire Stanley Marsh planted 10 Cadillacs (vintage 1949 to 1963) headlights down in a deserted stretch of dirt outside Amarillo – and then moved them further out in 1997 because of town encroachment. The reason? He said he constructed what has come to be known as Cadillac Ranch (I-40 between exits 60 & 62) in a salute to Route 66, using cars he considered to represent the golden age of car travel. The accepted practice today is to leave your own mark on the art by drawing on the cars. Bring spray paint in case other visitors haven't left any around. Occasionally the cars get a makeover, like when they were all painted pink in honor of breast-cancer awareness. To get here, park along the south feeder road, a couple of miles west of Loop 335, and walk the well-worn path. As cool as it sounds, there's a sort of forlorn feel to the place.

The ground ̉round here seems to be fertile for growing cars – 18 miles east of Amarillo in Conway, there are five stripped-down VW bugs sprouting on Bug Ranch (Hwy 207 access road). Story goes that in 2002 the owners of a now-defunct convenience-souvenir store at the highway interchange wanted to attract customers and so built the roadside attraction in parody of the classic Cadillac Ranch. It didn't save the store, and the family has moved off, but the slug bugs in the dirt do attract attention. Again, feel free to leave your spray-painted signature. Both sights are visible from the 1-40 and accessible 24/7.

德州 凯迪拉克牧场:在1974年后期,当地一个古怪的百万富翁Stanley Marsh,在阿马里洛外的沙漠里种下了10个凯迪拉克的头灯。然后由于镇子的扩张,在1997年Stanley Marsh把他们转移到更远的地方。原因?Stanley Marsh说他建设这个被称为凯迪拉克牧场(I-40,在60和62出口之间)的地方是要向66号公路致敬,他认为这些车代表了汽车旅行的黄金时代。现在公认的惯例是在那些车上画画,把自己的标志留在艺术品上。带着喷漆过来,以防其他旅客没有留下。偶尔,这些车会被整个化妆,比如为了纪念乳腺癌意识把车都涂成粉色。要到这里,沿着南直线道路,环路335以西几公里,沿着破旧的路走。像传闻中那个酷,这地方有一中凄凉的感觉。

这个地方的土似乎很适合种植汽车-在Conway,阿马里洛东18公里的地方,有5个无装饰的大众车在臭虫农场(207号高速通道)萌芽。据说在2002年,一个现在已经解散的便利品纪念品商店的主人们为了吸引顾客,所以模仿经典的凯迪拉克牧场建立了这个路边景色。这并没有拯救商店,家搬走了,但这些尘土中的懒虫确实吸引了注意力。再一次提醒,不用客气,留下您的喷漆签名。这两个景点从1-40和24/7都能看到。
