Yes, it's a fun stop on old Route 66 but beware of the cows! I was quickly surrounded by grazing cattle on my way out to the cars. Now, I'm a city gal and the gathering cows unnerved me a bit. I guess they could tell I loved a good juicy burger!

This is a fun roadside attraction. We were traveling Route 66 so we had to stop. It's a field, so be careful of mud if the weather has been wet. Bring your own can of spray paint or find one lying around that hasn't been used up. Be careful what you touch - others have been spray painting too.

Cadillac Ranch is a fun stop on Route 66. My husband and I enjoyed viewing the colorfully decorated cars. My husband added to the decoration by using a spray can left at the site. It was fun watching a couple who was very serious about adding their artwork/message to the collection. We were traveling Route 66 so we were open... More

Very interesting.. I did notice the common color is GREEN and pink would be next. So if you plan to paint don't use green or hot pink.. lol. I'm no paint expert but the paint is layered and much of it is a shiny coat so it's hard for a new paint to show because the paint just runs down.... More

Another disappointment during my trip to Amarillo. Asked the hotel desk what sights were close. They sent me to the Route 66 Historical district and Cadillac Ranch. Cadillac Ranch is nothing more than 7-8 indistinguishable wrecked cars stuck headfirst into a cow pasture. It is about 400 feet off the frontage road in a cow pasture (watch out where you... More

I have seen pictures of this site many times and finally had an opportunity to go and see it. We read up on the history which really made it more interesting. I didn't realize that people bring spray paint and add to the project all the time. It is a very unique place. Next time you are passing through Amarillo,... More

I thought it was more than it is. My friends pointed it out as we went down I-40. Nevertheless, it is iconic and should be seen at least once

Driving down the I40 when these weird objects pass you by. What in the world??? We turned around at the first opportunity and realised we had passed the famous "Cadillac Ranch". A place where there is no monument, nothing written, but ten cadillacs buried head first into the dirt. What's more if you bring your own spray cans, you can... More
