Fillmore is Pixar’s Cars character based on a 1960s Volkswagen Type 2 microbus.
Fillmore runs an organic fuel business in Radiator Springs and is portrayed as a colorful, peace-loving counterculture character. His rounded body, split windshield, and rear-engine van profile identify him as a Volkswagen Type 2, often called a Transporter or Microbus.
The character’s name recalls George Fillmore, a founder of San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium, a venue strongly associated with 1960s music and counterculture. That connection fits Fillmore’s personality, décor, and preference for alternative fuel.
Fillmore’s best friend is Sarge, a military-style Jeep who owns the surplus store across the street. Their contrasting personalities create a recurring comic pairing. Fillmore appears in the main Cars films and related short-form material, usually as one of Radiator Springs’ most distinctive residents.
