Radiator Springs’ resident hippie Fillmore is an easy-going, peace-loving 1960s Volkswagen van. As his friend and neighbour Sarge likes to say, “once a hippie, always a hippie.”
At his popular shop Fillmore’s Taste-In, Fillmore brews his own fuel, which he sells with Bohemian accessories like tie-dyed mud flaps. But when he learns that the World Grand Prix will be run exclusively on the alternative fuel Allinol, Fillmore closes up shop and signs on as the fuel expert for Team Lightning McQueen.
