Kinoo from Pixar’s Room sends a link to his site where he has many photos from the reasearch trip that Pixar performed on Route 66, the mother road, when making Cars.
The photos include one of Joe Ranft having his head shaved, The Round Barn, the Cadillac cemetry in Amarillo which inspired scenery in Radiator Springs in Cars, as shown below.
The site is very cool. Take a look. Thanks Kinoo for the heads up 🙂
UPDATE: Ron from Route 66 News has elaborated further upon the above post explaining some of the sites and he also has a translation of some of the text on Pixar’s Room.
