Visit Meramec Caverns, a timeless attraction visited by millions travelling Route 66. Meramec Caverns were used by Jes- se James, of famed James Gang fame - who locals knew as "just a nice Missouri boy" - as a hideout when escaping the Law. The owner of Meramec Caverns, Lester Dill started the Amer- ican advertising institution, the bumper sticker, when he gave away portable advertising to all who stopped by to visit. In the late 1860’s, Jesse James used them as a natural hideout. What follows is a marvelous stretch of The Mother Road, through Cuba (what beautiful murals) to Devil’s Elbow into Ozark Country.

Listen to the sounds of the Big Band Era, when the roar of the big trucks and the welcome home cries to return- ing soldiers dominated the road. Sit at the counter or a booth in the 1950s diner and feel the open road as America's families vacationed along the length of Route 66. Next stop, the tiny, way- western-Oklahoma town of Erick was brim-full of celebrity before Harley and Annabelle Rus- sell ever set up shop. Erick was home to Roger Miller (he wrote "King of the Road" and the musical Big River) and Sheb Wooley (known for "Purple People Eater" and his rolls in High Noon and the TV show Rawhide). A few blocks down from the intersection of Roger Miller Boulevard and Sheb Wooley Avenue, you'll find what currently keeps Erick highlighted on the map: Harley and Annabelle, the self-proclaimed Mediocre Music Makers, performing at their Sandhills Curiosity Shop. Visit the Roger Miller Museum. Spend tonight in Amaril- lo, the heart of Cowboy Country. Dinner at the Big Texan. Thursday, May 22: Cadillac Ranch "Delightful piece of Americana. A bunch of cars turned on end. Spray paint caked in layers. An archaeological dig of pop culture. Standing along Route 66 west of Amarillo, Texas, Ca- dillac Ranch was invented and built by a group of art-hippies imported from San Francisco. They called themselves The Ant Farm, and their silent partner was Amarillo billionaire Stanley Marsh 3. He wanted a piece of public art that would baffle the locals, and the hippies came up with a trib- ute to the evolution of the Cadillac tail fin. Ten Caddies were driven into one of Stanley Marsh 3's fields, then half-buried, nose-down, in the dirt (supposedly at the same angle as the Great Pyra- mid of Giza). They faced west in a line, from the 1949 Club Sedan to the 1963 Sedan de Ville, their tail fins held high for all to see on the empty Texas panhandle. Next, The Legendary Road" murals of Route 66 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Historic neon signs still glow on old Route 66 through Al- buquerque, which is now Central Avenue. Alongside the vintage signs you will see new version put up by businesses that are continuing the aesthetic traditions of old Route 66, adorning their shops with bright , buzzing neon. Lunch in Albuquerque before heading to the airport. .

  • HISTORIC ROUTE 66 SCHEDULED DEPARTURES for This SUMMER Route 66
    HISTORIC ROUTE 66 SCHEDULED DEPARTURES FOR this SUMMER Route 66 The route was established on November 11, 1926, although it was not signaled until next year. Originally ran from Chicago to Los Angeles through the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona with a total distance of 2,448 miles (3,940 kilometers). In 1926 only 800 miles of the route were paved, the rest were dirt roads. It was not until 1937 that the road was paved in pink concrete from start to finish. The 66 was the main route of the emigrants who went to the West, especially during the 'Dust Bowl' (dust storms) in the 30s, and held the economy of the areas that crossed the road. At the outbreak of World War II, the 66 became fundamental to transport weapons, troops and war material across the country. As a result of this heavy traffic, the road suffered damage to a large degree, but remained as the only way to cross the country from east to west. The following were the golden years of Route 66 ... The 50s marked the birth of a new phenomenon, vacations and leisure trips. Many Americans, attracted by its route and its spectacular scenery, took to cross it. However, this sudden increase in traffic brought with it an increase in accidents. Route 66 was no longer safe, it was not adapted to the increasing speed of the car and began to be known as 'Death Alley' (death row), 'Bloody 66' (Bloody 66) or 'Two Lane Killer' ( Murderer of two lanes) That was the beginning of the end for Route 66.

  • Cadillac Ranch : Lorsque La « Contre-Sculpture » S’Invite Au Texas
    Cercles 36 (2019 CADILLAC RANCH : LORSQUE LA « CONTRE-SCULPTURE » S’INVITE AU TEXAS Bénédicte SISTO Université Clermont Auvergne Installée au milieu d’un champ dans la région des hautes plaines du Texas communément appelée le Texas Panhandle, à mi-chemin sur la mythique Route 66 reliant Chicago à Los Angeles, et à proximité de la ville d’Amarillo, se dresse une œuvre insolite et colorée : Cadillac Ranch. Réalisée en juin 1974 sur les terres du milliardaire texan Stanley Marsh par de jeunes architectes californiens nommés Chip Lord, Doug Michels et Hudson Marquez, tous trois inspirés par le souffle contestataire de la contre-culture des années soixante, cette sculpture géante balayée par le vent est constituée de dix Cadillac de même proportion inclinées à l’oblique et alignées d’est en ouest sur 42 mètres, le capot avant enterré à même le sol. Leur carrosserie, aujourd’hui partiellement éventrée, est recouverte d’une épaisse couche de graffitis multicolores. Tout autour, des dizaines de bombes aérosol, négligemment abandonnées par les visiteurs, jonchent le sol. L’œuvre, qui se distingue inévitablement dans le paysage et qui surprend par son originalité, est devenue au fil des décennies une attraction touristique majeure au Texas. Ainsi, chaque année, des centaines de milliers de personnes stationnent en bord de route avant de franchir librement un simple portail métallique symbolisant l’accès au lieu. Un peu plus loin, les visiteurs admirent la « sculpture publique » et, comme le veut la tradition, marquent de leurs bombes de peinture aux couleurs éclatantes la Cadillac qui a remporté leur préférence. De toute évidence, l’œuvre procure une émotion singulière auprès du public, émotion qui n’a jamais cessé de surprendre les artistes à l’origine du projet, comme l’explique Michels en 1994 : « Cadillac Ranch is timeless, and has become more powerful with time.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Utah: J. Willard Marriott Digital Library TERMINAL STRUCTURES: ANT FARM’S CADILLAC RANCH, 1974 by Patrick Maguire A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Department of Art and Art History The University of Utah August 2014 Copyright © Patrick Maguire 2014 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF THESIS APPROVAL The thesis of Patrick Maguire has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Paul Paret , Chair 4/29/2014 Date Approved Lela Graybill , Member 4/29/2014 Date Approved Craig Dworkin , Member 4/29/2014 Date Approved and by Brian Snapp , Chair/Dean of the Department/College/School of Art and Art History and by David B. Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The San Francisco art and architecture collective Ant Farm built Cadillac Ranch in 1974 outside of Amarillo, Texas, to showcase “the rise and fall of the Cadillac tailfin.” The ten vintage Cadillacs buried nose‐first in a row along the old Route 66, with their tailfins jutting up obliquely, is often read as a monument to the golden era of the American automobile. Yet despite (and because of) its continued popularity, the work has rarely been taken seriously as art. This thesis proposes a revaluation of Ant Farm’s iconic project, and represents an attempt to position Cadillac Ranch as an important sculptural installation that speaks to many of the key concerns of the American avant‐garde of the 1960s and 1970s.
