I was shooting photos for an editorial on America’s roadside attractions. Most of these attractions were honkey-tonk especially in the American West and Route 66. I had heard of Cadillac Ranch years before. I believe its preservation was support by the Dei Art Foundation of New York City/ Beacon N.Y. It was considered serious art. It was created by a small art collected named Ant Farm.
I drove 12 hours out of my way to photograph Cadillac Ranch. I found it just outside of Amarillo, Texas I intended to spend several hours there, but I miscalculated the drive. I arrived just before sunset. The timing turned out to be perfect. It was well worth the drive

Cool! I’d seen a reproduction of this decades ago in art school. Never thought about it again until now.
