Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Real CARS In the Real World
Aroldo sends us some great pics from the Summer Jamboree where Italian show off their great ole American cars …
While I have seen an ocassional Model T driving around, I always wondering if Lizzie was a little too tall compared to current cars but nope!
Or the great cars of the 50’s available with the extra wheel attachment – first time I’ve seen it on the ‘cat eyes’ Chevy Impala’s but I guess it’s original OEM?
And John in MO found this beautiful real life Purple Ramone …
I believe John in Mo also sent along this pic from CASH FOR CLUNKERS – SCORE!
And his neighbors laughed when he said he was hanging onto this until the right offer came along – SCORE!
Jeanne S. was in Galena KS so she snapped us a pic of the wall used in CARS.
She also adds: “This is the wall that was used for radiator springs and then I’ll send you another of the actual mater that was used for the movie. There is this little gas station that is next to the Mayer and the lady sells the diecast there! And we found 12 desert backs there an she gave them to us for 6 dollars each not to shabby considering eBay lol! Anyway hope you like the pics! Jeanne”
And Jorge P sends us this Rescue Squad Mater … now semi retired 🙂
Great hat! 🙂
Bubba!
And BostonScoot for those that don’t know also gets to play with 1:1 scale cars 🙂
It’s a 1949 Hudson Commodore … the same family of cars of the Hudson Hornet – looks in pretty great shape already …
Okay, maybe a little work here necessary.
All the info you need to know … plus, seats about 11 (and that’s just the front).
Now, that’s a radio!
That is just cool …
Yeah baby … if you’re up to ramming speed, you want ALL STEEL – no alumnium nor polymers – just steel on steel …
Thanks for the fun look at REAL CARS when cars were built to last forever …

By the way, that Clunker was a Thundercougar — front half was a Ford Thunderbird, and the back half was a Mercury Cougar.
Sunday afternoon….18 degrees
coffee… hot and creamy
5 children…. ready to take a nap
peace and quiet with my Take 5 and hot coffee….. PRICELESS!!!!!!
The Pic of Rescue Squad Mater, on the front fender panel is some sort of emblem, it looks just like the Cars logo…anyone know what it is??
I love these posts, thanks Met and everyone who sent in pitures!
i agree…These are the most beautiful posts..
Not sure PD, but I’ll bet the Cars logo is based on that!
(MET: There’s an old Chevy logo that the CARS logo is based on in part … plus combined with something like this one).
Upon further inspection, it’s an old V6 logo, as shown here: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/7/8817360_7db7c18c35.jpg?v=0
it is a ‘V6’ emblem
found one closer up –

awesome pics!
We have a picture of several model T cars and one that looked simliar to a Flo. All from our towns summer car parade.
I love vintage Cars! Especially the interiors with real wood and chrome. So beautiful.
nice cars
At the side of LIZZIE ( first pic) there is the Aroldo’s CAR.. 🙂
My grandfather desperately wanted a Model T a few years back. It was to tall to fit inside their garage though so he settled for a 1930 Model A instead. Beautiful old cars.
I love that last picture of the “Hudson All Steel Monobilt Body and Frame” plate. I should start collecting stuff like that!
The Bubba truck is awesome. I’d hate to meet it in a dark alley…
Very cool!! I want one of each!!
Wow! 1:1 scale cars
Collect them all!
