ok...i *just* realized, or maybe put together, that Carsland takes place in Ornament Valley (knew that) but why that name?? Because cars USED to have hood ornaments, but have done away with them. The landscape of Ornament Valley has peaks that look like...hood ornaments. 😊😊😊
The peaks resemble Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. It consists of Cadillacs from The era of the tail fin. It's public art and people are encouraged to use spray paint and 'graffitti' them. My daughter and I packed our spray cans and did just that on our road trip to New Orleans in 2010! - Gia

Yes. I think I have some of the Cadillac photos on FB. It was 6am, 5 degrees outside when we stopped. No gloves, no heavy coats! By the time we walked to the Cadillacs our hands were so cold we couldnt open the spray cans! I put them on the ground to break the tops! It was fun tho'! - Gia 785.7 #121 11:49AM
Car guys also call them "pedestrian slicers", which is why cars do not have them any more - ScooterMike
