The Stonehenge of cars. The American Stonehenge made of cars

Today we’re visiting Carhenge, a popular roadside attraction in western Nebraska. Carhenge is the passion project of Jim Reinders, who created it as a memorial to his father. Like Stonehenge, Carhenge is a glimpse of a culture now past – the heyday of the American automobile. While living in England, Reinders studied Stonehenge's structure, which allowed him to replicate the formation using 39 vehicles, including cars, trucks and even one Jeep. For the construction, Reinders and about 35 family members helped build the attraction in June 1987. And with another nod to Stonehenge, they dedicated it on the summer solstice that same month. Since then, more than 60,000 people have visited the attraction and it’s appeared in music videos, TV shows, adverts and even on an album cover.
