Disney Pixar CARS: Silver Metallic Series CARS – Expanded Universe
The new issue of CARS, the Magazine explains the whole silver metallic paint racers back story … Quercy & John H. sent along scans of the issue.
SPOILER ALERT – I won’t give everything away as I’m only including this page from the magazine but it’s actually not bad.
The back story actually makes sense and is not super lame like Mack got a good deal on silver metallic paint … so it’s actually nice and logical … er, sure, it’s a ploy to get you to buy silver CARS but all and all, solid back story … 🙂
Here’s the plane Sarge is talking about – the HUGHES H1. Thanks, “John H!”
Quercy notes that the board game included in this issue is tied into the story of the race.
And you even get a nice poster.
Thanks Quercy and John H. for the heads up and scans!
So, now the Silver Racers officially move from the questionable canon status into the Expanded Universe. The Silver Hudson Hornet Piston Cup Lightning McQueen is also now part of the regular singles lineup … and odds seem likely that the Silver Metallic Rip also gets added to the singles lineup … as noted in this post. Both may still appear first during the newly announced CARS month of CARS at Kmart this June, in lieu of that other thing.

Hello, I have sent to M.X.

Hi, SEDEMA
Guess I will have to read the whole story. I can’t imagine why the racers would have to be painted silver for the race. I still don’t like the silver cars though. The regular color cars are so much nicer. The silver series are the regular cars ugly twin sister.
I really hope they make some Cars from the Lizzie and Stanley short. That will be hot.
There’s been a flood of cheap Lizzies on eBay lately. (from China) So maybe she’s getting a re-release?
I’ve seen them in the magazine section at the grocery store (in Jewel it is by the pharmacy) and at TRU.
Why is this the first time I am hearing that there is a CARS magazine? Is this a recent development?
(MET: Launched about December 2011 – First post here).
I’m wanting to know the same thing! Lol
