The whimsically-tasteful car-themed landscape (Cadillac Range/
Tailfin Pass, Wheelwell Motel, Coolant-Filler-Cap Mesa, Hood-and-Fenders Bluffs, etc.) of
Radiator Springs is hardly anything new --- almost 400 years ago, the Pilgrims named their original landing-point "Plymouth Rock" due to the
rock's being shaped something like a Plymouth automobile.
