In 1974, members of the Ant Farm group from San Francisco west of Amarillo buried ten Cadillacs in a line and at the same angle as the front half in the bottom of a corn field. They date from the years of construction 1948 to 1963 and represent the beginning and the decline of the tail fin models of the 1950s. The angle at which the vehicles are buried is said to correspond to the slope angle of the pyramids of Giza. They symbolize the freedom that the automobile brought with it, and at the same time the fascination and attraction that emanates from the “roadside attractions” along the American highways.

Cadillacs stacked nose down in the desert. Cool sight, also in the snow.
See Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Ranch "It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm. The installation consists of ten Cadillacs (1949-1963) buried nose-first in the ground. Installed in 1974, the cars were either older running, used or junk cars — together spanning the successive generations of the car line — and the defining evolution of their tailfins." In 1997 the art installation was moved from the original site near the expanding city of Amarillo by about 2 miles to the current location to keep it out of the urban sprawl.

In 1997, a local construction company moved the Cadillac Ranch from pasture to a pasture about 2 miles west of the original corn field to install it further away from the borders of the growing city of Amarillo.
