Trivia[]
- A magazine states him as a milk delivery truck, but that doesn't fit the name of the company he works for.
- The mention of "1950s" suggests that he was manufactured in the 1950s, which means his possible model year.
- The Pixarpedia official profile incorrectly refers him to as a van (see above).
