Fillmore?

This VW van has been sitting for a long time along Route 66 in Seligman, AZ. This is the town that provided the story that became Disney’s Cars. It is not the location they would pick, that was in New Mexico, Tucumcari, where a similar story was told but with better scenery. However, it was here the the genesis of the movie began with an interview with the town’s barber. His shop is still here and is 7/8 museum and a bit of room left for him to cut hair. Still active in his 90’s but post Covid he has not returned to barbering.
