response: Sort of. It's hinted in a scene where he's resroting Radiator Springs that he's a type of Corvette.
original_response: Yes in one scene the car helped restore Radiator Springs to its former glory and heydey
history: Do you know Lightning McQueen from the Cars movie. I really liked that character. Yes, I do. Did you know that he's not named after Steve McQueen, but Glenn McQueen, who was an animator at Pixar? Oh I didn't know who it was named after. I also liked Mater from that movie. He was the tow truck. I see, getting back to Lightning McQueen, he's been in several movies and shows, and a few TV shorts. Have you seen them all? No, but I probably will. Pixar really makes good movies. Do you know what kind of car Lightning McQueen is?
knowledge: During the scene where he helps restore Radiator Springs to its 1950s heyday, he is painted much like a 1950's Chevrolet Corvette C1, once again hinting at his Corvette lineage.
