General information
Physical description
![](/images/thumb/f/fd/MaterAndTheGhostlightRamone.png/200px-MaterAndTheGhostlightRamone.png)
Ramone is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala Lowrider / Show Car.
His license plate reads "LOWNSLO".
Ramone is often repainting himself, so his livery is frequently changing, though Ramone is most often depicted in his purple paint job, due to him spending the majority of Cars with that color as well as it being the very first paint job he is seen in, and most merchandising lines release him with that color scheme.
Personality and traits
Ramone is kind and loyal, and is always willing to paint anyone in need and likes to do so. He sometimes is cocky and brags, mainly about his hydraulics.
Powers and abilities
![](/images/thumb/0/09/Ramone%27s_Rhythmic_Rumble_1.jpg/200px-Ramone%27s_Rhythmic_Rumble_1.jpg)
Ramone is an expert in both painting and performing body work to dented or damaged cars. Additionally, Ramone has been shown to be a relatively good racer, specializing in stability and speed, though his acceleration is weaker.
In Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures and Cars: Mater-National Championship, Ramone is shown to be a very skilled and talented dancer, even having an entire minigame based off of him in the latter game titled Ramone's Rhythmic Rumble.
Relationships
Ramone has been married to Flo since she arrived in Radiator Springs as part of the Motorama Girls. They have continued to have a good relationship since then and throughout the course of the series.
Ramones' friends include all of the Radiator Springs residents, as well as other cars around Carburetor County such as Otis.
According to his Cars 2 official bio, he is apparently a huge fan of Lightning McQueen.

Profiles and statistics
Cars
- Bios
- "A true artist isn't afraid to take chances, explore new ways to express themselves, or push the limits of culture. Ramone believes that the automotive body can be a vehicle of expression, which is why every day for Ramone is a new chance to explore new paint jobs and push the limitless boundaries of his art."
- "This cool paint job is inspired by Ramone's famous friend, Lightning McQueen. Ramone can show support for his friend and look pretty sweet doing it!"
- "Ramone is green with envy today - he's envious of all the other cars who get to see his brand new sweet green paint job. But be careful, you can look but don't touch. This paint job is that fresh."
- "Ramone calls this look "Mellow Sunset." This morning he was feeling particularly relaxed about the day's schedule. Starting off with breakfast at Flo's, then back to his studio for a few hours of painting, only to quit early for the day and then pick up Flo for a nice drive up to the Wheel Well to enjoy a mellow sunset."
- "When the town is busting and business was good, Ramone didn't have time to paint himself each day. He barely had the time to paint himself each year, so he had had to really make it count! Like the classic look from the 1960's."
- "This paint job came out particularly nice. Ramone liked it so much he thought he'd keep it a little longer that a day, but then, he came to his senses."

- "Ramone owns and operates Ramone's House of Body Art, Radiator Springs' custom body and paint shop. Ramone is an artist - a true magician with paint and metal. There was a time when his only canvas was himself, so he repainted himself daily. But since Lightning McQueen helped put Radiator Springs back on the map, Ramone has had his share of customers - including the star race car himself. Before heading off to the World Grand Prix, Lightning stops by Ramone's for a new paint job, and Ramone gives him a whole new look, even adding a spoiler to him."
