Ever wish you could step into Radiator Springs? What if I told you it was inspired by real places you can actually visit?
This week, we’re hitting the road to explore the real-life Route 66 destinations that inspired Pixar’s Cars and Disney’s Radiator Springs. From the truck that became Mater to motels glowing with vintage neon, these spots bring the movie to life in the quirkiest and coolest ways.
In this episode:
- The Kansas gas station where the real Mater lives
- A vintage motel that inspired Sally’s Cozy Cone
