In Pixar's Cars, what type of car is Ramone?
Answer
A 1959 Chevrolet Impala lowrider
Ramone is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala lowrider in Pixar's Cars.
Ramone owns and operates Ramone's House of Body Art in Radiator Springs. His lowrider style is reflected in his lowered suspension, bright custom paint, and hydraulic movements. He changes his paint job regularly, making him one of the town's most visually distinctive residents.
The character's design draws on lowrider car culture, especially the customized vehicles associated with Mexican-American and Chicano communities in the American Southwest. His shop and changing colors turn automotive customization into part of the town's daily social life.
Ramone is voiced by Cheech Marin. His car is often confused with other classic vehicles in the film, including Doc Hudson's 1951 Hudson Hornet and Sally Carrera's Porsche 911. Ramone's specific base model is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala, customized as a lowrider.
