Flo
Car: Custom one of a kind 1950s Motorama show car
Engine: Runs a small block V-8
Flo runs the local diner, Flo's V-8 Cafe, the only gas station for miles around, where she still serves the finest fuel in fifty states. Flo is married to Ramone, the town's body artist. Her license plate reads "SHOGRL", the same as the license plates applied to many Motorama show cars, and an obvious pun on the term "showgirl". According to a deleted scene, she is a Motorama showcar and came to Radiator Springs during a national tour. She appears to be inspired by three early- to mid-fifties show cars: the 1951 Buick LeSabre (front-end lines, the basic hood shape, lights mounted near the corners, and front-quarter trim), the 1951 Buick XP-300 (side trim), and the 1956/57 Chrysler Dart (cockpit, deck lid, and tailfins).
