The dog accessories are cute. Rubbish became art work. Very creative.

This is a very nice installation art! I have seen this on Discovery channel couple of years ago. This became one of the art symbols of America i think… I wonder how much did this cost for these guys in 1974 to build this?

Hey Phil, check out the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Ranch. It says “Cadillac Ranch … was originally located in a wheat field, but in 1997 the installation was quietly moved by a local contractor two miles (three kilometers) to the west, to a cow pasture along Interstate 40, in order to place it further from the limits of the growing city.” The official artist’s page refers to 10 Caddilacs. “At the end of two weeks (in May 1974) we had the necessary ten cars and a spare.” http://www.libertysoftware.be/cml/cadillacranch/ranch/crabtr.htm

I remember passing the Cadillac Ranch in a Greyhound bus in 1994, bound for L.A. I was told it was called the Cadillac Cemetary, not Ranch. I also don’t remember that there were as many upturned cars there as these pictures show. Either my memory fails me, or else, some cars have been added since I saw it in ’94.
