Reinders got the idea to build his masterpiece after visiting the Stonehenge. The Stonehenge is an ancient monument on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. The replica of the nearly four-thousand year old monument is designed exactly the same except that the blocks of gray sandstone were replaced with old cars. Many hours of hard work went into the construction of Carhenge, and it certainly didn't go unnoticed. |im Reinders' replica of the Stonehenge lies about four miles north of Alliance. ‘ Carhenge” has received nationwide recognition.
