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 …

ModelT

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!

ModelT2

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?

Ramone Wheel

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!

Cougar

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.

Glaena KS
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 🙂

RS Mater

And BostonScoot for those that don’t know also gets to play with 1:1 scale cars 🙂

rear
It’s a 1949 Hudson Commodore … the same family of cars of the Hudson Hornet – looks in pretty great shape already …

engine
Okay, maybe a little work here necessary.

dash
All the info you need to know … plus, seats about 11 (and that’s just the front).

radio

Now, that’s a radio!

Steering

That is just cool …

serial

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 …
