Sheriff
Car: 1949 Mercury Club Coupe 0-60: Fast enough, pursuit top speed is classified
The town’s law enforcement is Sheriff, a venerable 1949 Mercury Police Cruiser, voiced by the leading expert on Route 66, Michael Wallis. Wallis is a historian of the American West and was the perfect person to play the Sheriff charged with upholding the law on the Mother Road that runs from Chicago to Los Angeles. Wallis may have explored every inch of Route 66 but Sheriff prefers snoozing behind a billboard or telling stories about the heyday of the Mother Road.
Sworn with upholding the peace in Radiator Springs, always on the prowl for would-be speeders who might want to barrel through his town, Sheriff enjoys telling stories about his beloved Mother Road, and taking the occasional nap behind the town's billboard. Sheriff is painted in the classic law enforcement black and white, with a single red light dome, two sirens, and curb feelers.
