Stodgey is a fictional car trademark in the Cars universe. It produces makes and models of all sorts, such as race cars. In Cars, a few of the older Piston Cup competitors are Stodgeys. Stodgey is based on a real life car company Chevrolet.
Models
- Stodgey Suaver LT (Fred)
- Stodgey Suaver EX (Murray Clutchburn, Crusty Rotor, Floyd Mulvihill)
Trivia
- The Stodgey Suaver LT is very similar to the 1972 Shyster Cremlin, of which Otis is, and the EX is similar to Chick Hicks' model, the 1979 Shyster Cremlin and a BMW M3 E30.
- The company's name is likely a portmanteau of Dodge (another car company) and the adjective Stodgy meaning dull and uninspired;lacking originality or excitement.
- Crusty Rotor was the only Stodgey Suaver EX race car to not be made into a Capitol Motors Mark II in Cars 3, as he was replaced by Rev Roadages instead.
