Jim Reinders built it in 1987 as a memorial to his father. £8 cars, sprayed with gray so they would resemble more to the original Stonehenge. At first, two foreign cars were part of the assembly, but hey were later replaced with models from Detroit. They were buried at Carhenge, and on their stone stands written: "Here lie three bones of foreign cars. They served our purpose while Detroit slept. Now Detroit is awake and America's great!"
Even though at first, the people from Alliance wanted to tear it down and it was labeled as a junkyard, today it's one of America's weirdest attractions.
