Question - 207

The visual in the top is the satellite view of this landmark. The visual at the bottom is a still from a recent movie that pays homage to this landmark. Identify both landmark and movie.

Update: No correct responses for this one. So here are some hints. The movie at the bottom is Cars and the background of the bottom visual (those 6 or so tower-like thingies) is drawn to look like the landmark shown in the top visual. The landmark in the top visual is named for and made entirely of a classic American automobile. I will let the question stand with hints for another day.

Answer: The landmark is the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. Passer by, Mekie, Shreya, Iam, Swapnaa and Keshav got this. Well done.

Cadillac Ranch/Range :-)
Had Ram seen this question, he might have been excited - he went on and on about this "landmark" and made me watch the movie twice over. (So maybe the credit actually goes to him!)
