Ka-Chow! Lighting McQueen at CAM
The Canadian Automotive Museum is excited to have a full scale model of Lightning McQueen from Disney Pixar’s Cars 3, now available on Blu-Ray™.
The iconic main character from Pixar’s Cars animated film franchise, Lightning McQueen is part athlete, part stock car. McQueen is voiced in the films by actor Owen Wilson and was named after the late Pixar animator Glen McQueen, who passed away in 2002. McQueen’s shape was influenced by sports cars like the Corvette C6 and Ford GT40, as well as sports stars Muhammad Ali, Charles Barkley and Joe Namath.
Parking & Transit
Please note that free overflow visitor parking is available behind the museum on the gravel lot. Please do not park in "reserved" spaces adjacent to the museum as these belong to other downtown Oshawa businesses.
The Canadian Automotive Museum is accessible via Durham Region Transit and GO Transit.
