Flo

Flo is a Motorama 1950s Show Car residing in Radiator Springs, witnessing when Lightning McQueen came speeding through town in 2005. Sassy and sensible, Flo's been running the V8 Café and has been married to Ramone for as long as anybody can remember. Everyone thinks the town would fall apart without Flo. Not only would there be no one to sell gas and oil, but also her fun-loving presence and big heart would be sorely missed.

Flo first arrived in Radiator Springs as a touring Motorama girl in the late 1950s, most likely 1957, from a stylish and lavish yet strict lifestyle in Detroit, Michigan. She was headed west with a transport of her fellow models when their chaperone, Ms. Victoria, blew her transmission just outside of town. Flo and the other Motorama girls spent an unforgettable weekend in Radiator Springs; New tires from Luigi, souvenirs from Lizzie, and a new paint job from Ramone. But when it came time to paint Flo, Ramone threw down his airbrush. Not because he was too good to paint her, but because she was too good to paint. It was love at first sight and she went cruising with him that night before they watched the sunset over Willy's Butte together. Before she was set to leave with the other Motorama Girls, she found out that she had a scratch and raced o Ramone to have it fixed but instead, he told her that he didn't want to let her go. When the Motorama Girls left, Flo stayed to be with Ramone after falling for his charismatic and smooth talking ways. Her and Ramone were soon married, with him painting himself in her colors on their wedding, and she bought the gas station across from his shop to name it Flo's V8 Café. She and Ramone have been together ever since.

Flo was one of the townsfolk of Radiator Springs who was mad at Lightning McQueen for ripping up the main road in 2005, later befriending the race car and going to support him at his tie-breaker race in Los Angeles. Since then, she is always talking to Lightning as well as the others in town, as she owns the gas station and claims that she's got the finest fuel on the mother road. She occasionally participates in races held in town after Lightning settled down in Radiator Springs, such as when she decides to join a race with Sally, Mia, and Tia for the chance to go on a drive with Lightning but came in last. One time, she hired Lightning to serve drinks to customers at her café during rush hour. At some point, Flo is one of the townsfolk listening to Sheriff's story about the Ghostlight and later helps the others trick Mater into thinking that the Ghostlight is chasing him by placing a lamp on his tow hook.

In 2007, during the Mater-National Championship, Flo participated in a race through Filmore's nature preserve as well as Luigi and Guido's second team relay where she is on a team with Ramone and Lightning.

In 2008, Flo was often witness to Mater sharing many of his tall tales to the townsfolk as she worked at the café and served he customers. While Mater would share these tall tales, she once watched Sheriff chase after the Delinquent Road Hazards, watched Guido sing karaoke, and helped Lightning fix his flat tire.

In 2009, while Lightning McQueen and Chicks' racing academies were fighting, Flo participated in various events such road races around Tailfin Pass and Radiator Springs, a off road race around Ornament Valley, some point to point races in the area. She was also with Lightning in Santa Carburera when Chick introduced them to Candice, one of his temporary proteges.

In 2010, during a Thanksgiving party, there was fuel lined up all throughout the stalls of Flo's V8 Café where cars could drink as much and as long, they wanted.

In 2011, Flo greeted Lightning McQueen when he comes back to Radiator Springs. She also sees him off at the airport when he leaves. When McQueen calls her and the rest of the Radiator Springs citizens, she comes to London. She also helps fights the lemons by hurting Vladimir Trunkov's eyes using her bright headlights. Back in Radiator Springs, she notes the big dent that Holley Shiftwell has in her rear fender and offers her husband's services to sort it out which Holley kindly declines, stating that the dent is "Too valuable." Before the Radiator Springs Grand Prix, she and Sally admire Francesco Bernoulli's open wheels. Later, she joined the rest of the Radiator Spring citizens at the C.H.R.O.M.E. Training Academy to participate in spy training against her friends, international racers as they stopped intruders that snuck in.

In 2013, when Lightning arrived at her café one morning, she greeted him and gave him a can of motor oil only for him to get the hiccups from drinking it too fast.

In 2017, Flo watched Lightning race in the current season of the Piston Cup that year. Later in Radiator Springs after McQueen's crash, she was working at her café as usual. When McQueen tells everyone, he's going back to racing, Flo and every townie celebrates in response to his decision. She also tells Rusty and Dusty that she created a drink after them which Mater tells them name of it, being Rust-eze Medicated Bumper-bomb. She's also seen saying goodbye to McQueen, Mack, Luigi and Guido as they head off to the Rust-eze Racing Center. She eventually joined those in Radiator Springs to see Cruz and Lightning's new paint jobs and watched Lightning and Cruz race around Willy's Butte just like how Lightning and Doc did.

In 2021, when Lightning and Sally are on a date at Flo's V8 Café, Flo and Ramone were dancing together when the two arrived which led to everyone in town dancing together.

In 2022, Flo witnessed Mater reveal the news that his sister was getting married soon and claimed that he was holding out on everyone by not mentioning his sister sooner. She thought there was nothing better than a wedding to bring folks together and suggested that Lightning and Mater stop by New Orleans on their way to the event to enjoy its jazz music. However, before Lightning left with Mater on the trip, she suggested that Ramone give him a new look for it and he takes her advice.

Flo is based on a Motorama Show Girl, modeled after a 1957 GM Motorama Show Car. She's a modified 1955 Lincoln Futura with large tail fins. Her license plate reads "SHO GRL", a reference to the fact that she was a show girl before she came to Radiator Springs. Flo is painted light green, with cream stripes on her sides and long fins on her rear which is matched by her green eyes. She also has white wall tires.

Flo is a kind and caring character, though her sassiness can get in the way of her other traits at times. Nonetheless, she still has a helpful persona, and enjoys helping and socializing with her customers. Flo is an expert on fuels and oil, as she has proven to have a vast knowledge on various occasions. Additionally, her racing abilities have been shown in a few instances and she is a heavy car with much more power and speed. Even if she doesn't win a race, she still enjoys participating.

Flo often refers to other cars by fond terms like "baby", "honey", "sweetpea" or other fond terms as a normal part of how she talks but she does not mean it in a flirty or romantic way unless she's speaking to Ramone. She's known to give out compliments on a car's looks or personality but means nothing flirty or romantic about it. When it comes to cars younger than her, she can treat them in a way that's almost motherly in a sense. As a lady, she appreciates when a car knows how to treat one like her right and doesn't appreciate disrespect towards women. She often asserts that she's more than just another pretty grill with tail fins but knows not to go over her limits.

Flo is happily married to Ramone, and the two have been a couple ever since Flo first arrived in Radiator Springs all the way back in the late 1950s. She is just as in love with him as he is with her and admires every new paint job he puts on himself, thinking he's smoking hot. Her and Ramone can often be seen cruising through town together or dancing together at her café, as they are both skilled dancers. She lives with Ramone in a house between both her café and his body shop, often calling him honey or calling him her baby. She fell for him initially because of his charismatic attitude and smooth talking ways, despite being a very desirable car who could have had her pick of anyone else she wanted.

She is also good friends with all of the Radiator Springs residents aside from just Ramone, particularly Lightning McQueen, but also including Sally Carrera, Mater, Luigi, Guido, Sheriff, Sarge, Filmore, Red, Lizzie, and the late Doc Hudson. She is also friendly to the many visitors and tourists that visit around Carburetor County, always ready to serve her customers with a kind attitude and a warm smile.
