Can we find Sir Tow Mater?!

Situated along the famed Route 66 is the Kansas town that inspired Radiator Springs in Pixar's Cars films.

Outside many of the local establishments, replicas from the movie appear, complete with eyes in the windshields.

There's even a "Greetings from Galena" mural painted on the brickwork of a corner building, featuring the character Mater at a gas station.

Fans are certainly welcome to visit. But those who can't make it should check out the official Facebook page, Cars on the Route.
