Latest revision as of 23:57, 28 March 2024

American Car was the second pitch for Cars. It would serve as the basis for the final product released in 2006, with a lot of similarities and differences.

Plot

Similar to the beginning of Cars, the story started out with a racer, "Lightning McQueen", he's a famous rookie race car, that was fast on track, on the verge of become the first rookie to win a Piston Cup, eventually later on Lightning would finish in a tie for the race. He was arrogant, cocky and self-centered but he was about to learn a good leasson that would change his life... afterwards, McQueen and Mack would travel to California to make it to the tiebreaker race, but before that his hauler decided to stop by the Top Down Truckstop to wash off. Lightning impatient, comes out of his trailer and looks for Mack but he gets distracted with the cars there, who are excited to see him. Mack returns and leaves McQueen behind while he tries to chase down himbut as well as in the film, Lightning follows the wrong truck. He get Lost and starts to panic while entering a graveyard without knowing where to go, scared he runs away taking with him a piece of metal, with which he breaks the road only to end up in Radiator Springs (aka: Autocoaster at the time). As Lightning is racing down the road at high speeds, he passes and awakens Sheriff, the local police officer, who then begins chasing McQueen. Scared, Lightning drives through the town accidentally crashing into Mr. Windshield store. After Sheriff catches Lightning, he is put in the Radiator Springs Municipal Impound by Mr.windhsield where McQueen will be severely reprimanded by Sally for derailing the business of Mr.Windhsield who will subsequently close his small store leaving the town.

Lightning is asked to do a race in Radiator Springs to attract customers, but he refuses, and chooses to do standard Community Service instead. While he is sleeping, he has a nightmare where Doc Hudson, Mater and Sheriff have put his engine in a steamroller. He tries to escape by driving through the fence, and Sheriff chases him with his siren and puts McQueen to work while Mater's engine is into Lightning body then, Mack comes back, and he mistakes Mater for McQueen. Mater gets into Lightning trailer, and Mack drives away when he tries to get Doc and Sheriff to get Mater back, but they want him to continue fixing the road, when he wakes up, and finds himself in his regular body, he decides to change his mind and to the race instead. But before that, Lightning needs to go to the Traffic School if he wants to race on the streets. Sheriff jokes about McQueen having a crush for Sally and he denies it. Sally is annoyed to because he's late for the class, she continues with her class but she's interrupted by Lightning arrogant comments. He must learn how to indicate a left turn but he says he doesn't need that on a race track. Sally obligates Lightning to wear headlights and rearview mirrors and on their way, Sally tells him about Stanley (originally Steamer), the town's founder. Sally teaches McQueen how to park but his arrogant atittude it's not helping until he does it on his own way. When Lightning is ready to race in the Radiator Springs Grand Prix near the end of the race, McQueen crashes.

During the scene where McQueen and Sally are cruising there was going to be a karaoke night, where Flo shows her singing talent she learned during her Motorama Girls days and Ramone starts his story. Some Motorama Girls have came to Radiator Springs from Detroit, they had a chaperone, who broke down, and that's why they were in Radiator Springs. They drank Fuel, they danced the conga, and Red gave them car washes, then they came to Ramone's Body Work to get paint jobs. Finally, on the last car, Ramone dropped his air brush and saw Flo for the first time. The next day, the Motorama Girls left, and Flo stayed.

Lightning and Sally were seeing a spy movie, featuring McMissile, while to the theatre on their first date at the end of the story.

In a concept art Luigi can open his door while waving the starting flag, this idea was made with Cars on the Road.
After Lightning's crashes into Radiator Springs Luigi's store closes down and Luigi goes away for unknown reasons.
Luigi may have leaved the town and closed up his shop for supplying McQueen with bad tires during the race that caused his crash.
On another scene, possibly a nightmare McQueen was going to be smashed.
Mr. Windshield had 2 different versions, in the first draft a truck and in the second it was going to be a yellow Packard Clipper.

After a while, Lightning gets impatient, so he goes out of his trailer to look for Mack. He meets [https://worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/wiki/Mia_and_Tia Mia and Tia], who were waitresses at Top Down Truckstop. The characters that became [https://worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/wiki/Rusty_and_Dusty_Rust-eze Rusty Rust-eze and Dusty Rust-eze] were there too. Meanwhile, Mack finishes his car wash, and Lightning is still hanging out with his fans. Mack doesn't know that Lightning wasn't in the trailer, so he drives away without him. Lightning says that he must get back to Mack, but he couldn't find him. He looks at where his trailer was parked, and the car wash, but Mack wasn't there. Then he sees Mack driving down the Interstate, so he rushes after him. He drives through a red light, and almost crashes. He drives up the exit ramp, going the "wrong way." He has to dodge a bunch of cars on the road, and then the whole road was blocked by trucks, so he drives off the road. A watermelon truck drops watermelons on him. Finally, Lightning gets back on the road, and tries to find Mack. Lightning catches up with Mack, but finds out it wasn't Mack. The truck drives away, leaving Lightning at the crossing. Lightning doesn't know what to do. Then, on his left, he sees the Interstate, so he quickly races towards it. Next, it becomes dark, and then a "thud" happens. Lightning finds himself going off the road. Then he falls down a hill, and crashes into a bunch of branches. He bumps into a car behind him. He turns around, and the car was a dead car, freaking Lightning out. He looks around, and more dead cars were everywhere. One was even hanging on the tree. Several of them have branches growing through them. Lightning then imagines that some of those dead cars are about to grab him with tree branches. Really, he crashes into a fence. The fence gets tangled on him. On the other side of the fence was the engine of another dead car. Lightning gets back on the road, and tries to run away from the dead car's engine. Lightning eventually gets untangled and run away. The dead car's engine seems to have exploded. Once Lightning escaped he arrived in the actual town: Autocoaster an abandoned closed town in [https://worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/wiki/Route_66 Route 66],he passed in front of the sheriff and realized it was not the highway and he runs into a ghost town taking louis's wheels in full, lightning does not see where he goes and crashes into Mr.Windshield's shop breaking the whole window, but immediately after Sheriff manages to catch him and arrest him. after taking lightning the sheriff takes him to prison where mater then turns off the lights.

-==Chapter 2==
+During the scene where McQueen and Sally are cruising there was going to be a karaoke night, where [[Flo]] shows her singing talent she learned during her [[Motorama Girls]] days and [[Ramone]] starts his story. Some Motorama Girls have came to Radiator Springs from [[Detroit]], they had a chaperone, who broke down, and that's why they were in Radiator Springs.

He is sleeping in the impound. While he is sleeping, he has a nightmare. In the nightmare, [https://worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/wiki/Doc_Hudson Doc Hudson], [https://worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/wiki/Tow_Mater Mater], and [https://worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/wiki/Sheriff Sheriff] have put his engine in a steamroller. He tries to escape by driving through the fence, and Sheriff chases him with his siren. He flips a switch on the back of Lightning, which turns on a machine that splats asphalt on the road. Then, another machine that sprays the yellow line in the middle turns on. In the whole sequence, asphalt gets splatted on the road, the steamroller wheels flatten it, and the yellow line gets painted. Also, Doc has put Mater's engine into Lightning's body, so now Mater is a racecar. He has fun being a racecar, and Lightning is worried he will wreck his body. Then, Mack comes back, and he mistakes Mater for Lightning. Mater gets into Lightning's trailer, and Mack drives away. Lightning tries to get Doc and Sheriff to get Mater back, but they want him to continue fixing the road. Lightning looks down the road, and there were lots of road to fix. Then Lightning really wakes up, and finds himself in his regular body. He sees the steamroller body on the side. He decides to change his mind and do the race instead, mcqueen after the nightmare he is awakened by a sheriff and explains that if he wants to race in the radiator springs grand prix he will need a driving school. The lesson is held in the old drive-in of radiator springs. at the beginning lightning makes the step because he is a pilot but sally makes him understand that he must learn to drive the same and therefore makes him wear a uniform. after the lesson, lightning and sally start a conversation and get to know each other and sally tells him the story of the town. The next day the Autocoaster Grand prix has started and all racers go to ramone to get a refresh to the paint meanwhile lightning was at Flo's V8 Cafè and in the meantime Luigi was begging for lightning to sponsor his tires so everyone would buy them and in exchange lightning could use his tires for the whole grand prix, and doc told him to do his own thing and that if he wanted he would buy them, but lightning refused to buy them and he didn't want to sponsor him.
