In Pixar’s Cars, what is the name of the town’s courthouse?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar’s Cars, the town’s courthouse is called the Radiator Springs Courthouse.

The courthouse is one of Radiator Springs’ civic buildings and is associated with the town’s local government. It appears during the story after Lightning McQueen is brought before the community for damaging the road.

Radiator Springs is a fictional town inspired by communities along U.S. Route 66. Its buildings and landmarks reflect the roadside architecture and declining tourism that followed the construction of newer interstate highways.

The courthouse is sometimes confused with the Radiator Springs town hall or other civic locations shown in franchise artwork. The film’s central local landmark, however, is the courthouse where Lightning receives his community-service sentence.
