Fillmore the Hippie Van from Cars

Unfortunately, Fillmore is no longer around. Drove out to see him and any possible buddies, but they were nowhere to be seen.

Fillmore the Hippie from Cars

A 1960s VW bus has been painted to resemble "Fillmore" the hippie from the movie Cars. Occasionally "Sarge" the jeep is beside it. It is on a homeowner's property, and I'm sure they would appreciate that you respect their property. They have never said anything to me when I stop to take pictures. There is easy parking along the shoulder of the road at the end of their driveway.
