''Carhenge'' is a replica of England's Stonehenge located near the town of Alliance, Nebraska , in the American midwest. Instead of being made from stones, ''Carhenge'' is constructed of vintage American automobiles, all covered with gray spray paint. Built by Jim Reinders, it was dedicated at Summer Solstice in June of 1987 . Thirty-eight automobiles were used in a circle measuring about 96 feet in diameter. Some autos are held upright in pits five feet deep, trunk end down, while arches have been formed by welding cars atop the supporting autos. The heel stone is a 1962 Cadillac . ''Carhenge'' replicates Stonehenge's current "tumble-down" state rather than the original stone circle. EXTERNAL LINKS |
