{{DISPLAYTITLE:List of dated events in ''Cars''}}
{{Construction}}
This is a list of specific dates given to in-universe events, by one or more installments of ''Cars'' media. As the Pixar Cars Wiki does not recognize one definitive ''Cars'' [[Pixar Cars Wiki:Canonicity|canon]], all dates from any ''Cars'' sources are listed, regardless if information or chronology is contradicted by another. However, contradictions are noted where relevant and/or significant.
 
==Key==
*All entries must have been given a specific date, including a day, month, time, and/or year (or a specific ''range'' of any).
*Other events and other installments should not be added or speculated on due to inferences.
*All dates given by one or more ''Cars'' installments are listed here, even if contradicted by another.
