Where is the Cadillac Cemetery located? What's the history behind it?
Has anyone been there?
How did it get its name?
Is it known by another name as well?

The Cadillac Cemetery (or Cadillac Stonehenge/The Cadillac Graveyard) is located just west of Amarillo, Texas, on Route 66.
A traveler by the name of Brain Mounts offered this explanation.
"When Route 66 was replaced by I-40 a number of eye catching gimmicks, such as the Cadillac Cemetery, sprouted up to get the random traveler to stop and spend a few bucks. The owner of this land planted these Cadillacs, now covered with G-rated graffiti, but decided not to charge admission."
A show called "Tori and Dean" also made a stop by the site and left their mark. The video can be viewed here.
