Doc Hudson ("Dr. Hudson" or simply "Doc") is an animated, anthropomorphic retired race car who appears in the 2006 Pixar film ''Cars'' as a medical doctor and a local judge. Voiced by actor Paul Newman in the first film and video game, and Corey Burton in all other media. He is modelled after a 1951 Hudson Hornet. ==Character== Doc Hudson (voiced by Paul Newman in his last non-documentary film role) is Radiator Springs' local physician. His license plate read 51HHMD, which is a reference to his year and track number (51), model (Hudson Hornet) and profession (medical doctor). A racer-turned-mechanic, the character has Newman's blue eyes. Doc's stickers say "twin H power", which was an optional dealer-installed dual carburetor intake manifold, with twin 1-barrel carburetors and air filters. It was standard on 1952 model Hornets. Doc was once known as the Fabulous Hudson Hornet (#51), one of the most famous race cars to have ever lived; he won three Piston Cups, and he still held the record for most wins in a single season (27, also the number of NASCAR Grand National races won by Hudson Hornets in 1952). All that changed for the famous Hornet when a terrible crash on the track during the final lap of the 1954 Piston Cup championship race saw him put out for the season in a career-ending injury which closely parallels the fate of Herb Thomas, NASCAR's 1951 and 1953 champion. Upon his return, he was received with a complete absence of fanfare and told that he was a has-been who had been passed up for the next rookie in line. He kept a newspaper article on the career-ending crash as a reminder never to return to the life that nearly killed him. Jaded by the racing scene, he left that world, apparently taking out time to study medicine. The famous No. 51 disappeared into obscurity, leaving many wondering where he had gone. He instead opted for a simple navy blue paint job and the life of a physician in the tiny town of Radiator Springs, the "shining Gemstone" of the Mother Road – Route 66. He runs Doc's Clinic as a "doctor of internal combustion". As times changed and the town was bypassed by Interstate 40, Doc stayed on, even when the population had dwindled to a meager dozen or so residents. He is respected, well-loved, and served not only as the town's physician, but as its judge. Nobody in the town has any idea of his past as a racer, knowing him merely as an ordinary Hudson Hornet. Upon meeting the rookie hotshot Lightning McQueen, Doc sees far too much of the past he'd left behind. His one token attempt to explain a controlled skid on an abrupt turn in dirt-track racing to Lightning is met with misunderstanding and skepticism, leaving Doc disillusioned and bitter about the young hot rod who seems to care only about himself. He is less than happy when an amazed McQueen discovers his past and asks, "Why did you quit at the top of your game?" After McQueen finishes fixing the Radiator Springs road that he damaged when arriving in town, as part of Hudson's court ruling, McQueen decides to stay in town for a while, but Doc was unable to bear having him around any longer and calls the news and press, prompting McQueen to immediately leave for the Piston Cup. But seeing how disheartened everyone is by his unplanned departure, Doc realizes that he made a mistake and takes back his #51 racing colors to become McQueen's pit crew chief. Nearly the entire town travels to the Piston Cup as Lightning's pit crew. At the Piston Cup, Doc finally receives his long awaited fanfare for his return. At the end of the film, Doc keeps his racing colors, becoming a trainer as well as a friend to the young McQueen. Just like McQueen, Doc learned some lessons: friendship, promises, how greed affects others, and that secrets cannot be kept forever. When a racing museum subsequently opens in Radiator Springs, one entire wing is devoted to his racing career. Much as Junior #8 acknowledges to "The King" that "you've been an inspiration to me", The King indicates "the Hudson Hornet was my inspiration". In ''Cars 2'', the Piston Cup has been renamed after Doc who had recently died of old age. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doc Hudson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
