In the Pixar computer animated film ''Cars, ''Sally Carrera is Radiator Springs's town attorney and protagonist Lightning McQueen's love interest. She is voiced by Bonnie Hunt. ==Background== In the film, Sally owns the Cozy Cone Motel, a newly refurbished tourist court similar in design to the Wigwam Motels but with each individual motel room constructed as an oversized traffic cone. She has cones all around her shop, inside and out; even the lamps, planters and alarm clocks follow the theme. Neon lighting at the Cozy Cone, one of the first historic restoration efforts in Radiator Springs, displays the "100% Refrigerated Air" slogan of Tucumcari's historic US 66 Blue Swallow Motel. She once was a successful California lawyer but, unhappy, chose to leave the state to settle in the small U.S. Route 66 town. Sally is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera on a slightly-shortened wheelbase and has a pinstripe tattoo on her back. Pixar had initially wanted a classic Porsche for the rôle, but were convinced by Bob Carlson at Porsche to make her the latest model. Pixar's animators, modellers and sound crews obtained access to real Porsche 911-series vehicles to meticulously create an animated Sally who looks, moves and responds in a similar manner to the original automobile. According to director John Lasseter. "Sally is the one modern car in the town of Radiator Springs. She's beautiful. It's interesting that people mostly think of a Porsche as powerful and a guy's car, but the lines on a Porsche are so beautiful that it fits perfectly for the character of Sally." Her character is modelled on Dawn Welch of the historic Rock Café on U.S. Route 66 in Oklahoma,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oklahoma Businesswoman and Route 66 Promoter Dawn Welch Honored by State Senate )〕 an advocate of the promotion and restoration of Stroud, Oklahoma after the town had been both bypassed by the Turner Turnpike and heavily damaged by a 1999 F3 tornado. Welch had long travelled cross-country promoting Route 66 and rallying support for keeping it alive. Like Sally, Dawn Welch is a relative newcomer to U.S. Route 66, having left the travel industry to purchase the Rock Café in 1993 and list it on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Originally, Sally was going to be a Ford Mustang. However, they made her a Porsche since the grill looked more "lady like." She also, at one point, originally resembled a Porsche 993. 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「Sally Carrera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
