The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Things That Inspired the Movie "Cars"-- Part 1: Sally Inspired by Dawn Welch


The movie "Cars" hooked me on animated movies.  And, of course, the fact it was about Route 66 added to its impact.  I saw it three times when it was out.  Once at a drive-in movie theater.

The Route 66 News blog site on June 16, 2019 had a video called "Disney Pixar Cars -- Route 66:  Memory Lane" hosted by John Lasseter, the movie's director.

This was a great video which talked a lot about how the scenes and people of the movie came about.  Before making the movie, they took a ride along Route 66.

Give it a watch.

In the meantime here are some of the things from the movie:

Fillmore's place --  Galloway's Totem Pole Park

Rock Cafe --  Dawn Welch --  Sally

Arcadia Round Barn --  best party site
