* [[Real Place Background]]: Pixar made multiple research trips to the former US Route 66 from Baxter Springs KS through Peach Springs AZ before creating [[wikivoyage:Radiator Springs|Radiator Springs]].<!-- A route66news.com post from 2006 is "the" master list, there's a list of people Pixar visited in the film's closing credits and a few local news articles.
