One of the coolest perks during my career at Pixar was the opportunity to name a Cars die-cast Mattel car after my mom, Sheila! Sheila is a member of Flo's Motorama Girls, a trio of 1950's showgirl cars (Sheila, Rhonda, and Laverne) from the World of Cars storybook. These sweet and sassy girls can be seen in the Flo's V8 Cafe at Cars Land in Disney's California Adventure park.
These girls quickly became hot items as "Storytellers" exclusives at Target (the tri-pack is now selling on Amazon for $300!).
