Deep in the Texas Panhandle, 10 classic Cadillac sedans are buried nose first in the Amarillo dirt, their tail ends a constantly evolving canvas for artists and passersby looking to leave their mark at this quirky travel find known as Cadillac Ranch.

Just off Route 66, an American highway well known for its quirky attractions, this outdoor art installation is a rare spot where graffiti and spray paint aren’t just tolerated – they’re encouraged.

Visitors from all around bring cans of spray paint to make a part of Cadillac Ranch their own, even if just for a few days before the next round of tourists bring a fresh look to these Caddies. Take a look at this quirky art installation for yourself with these photos of Amarillo’s Cadillac Ranch.
