30 Bizarre and Brilliant Stops Along America’s Route 66

21. VW Slug Bug Ranch (Conway, TX)

Move over, Cadillacs! Just down the road from Amarillo lies a cheeky parody: five Volkswagen Beetles buried nose-down in the Texas dirt. This quirky installation, known as the VW Slug Bug Ranch, offers a playful nod to the more famous Cadillac Ranch. Created as an eye-catcher for an abandoned trading post, the rusting VWs invite visitors to leave their mark with spray paint, just like their larger counterparts. It’s a fun, less crowded alternative that perfectly captures the eccentric spirit and humor often found along the Mother Road.
