Doc Hudson

Doc Hudson, also known as The Fabulous Hudson Hornet, is a former dirt track racer who serves as the judge and doctor of Radiator Springs.

Persona
Doc is portrayed as a grumpy old man who wants to leave his racing career behind, and stay out of the public line. Doc enjoys peace and quiet, and often isolates himself from the other Radiator Springs residents, instead choosing to stay inside of his clinic and garage.

Basis
Doc is based off of the real 1951 Hudson Hornet, which is where his name, number, and paint scheme came from.

Livery
During his Piston Cup racing days, Doc was painted in a dark shade of blue, with a chrome bumper and grille. On his doors were the number 51 painted in yellow, as well as the words Fabulous Hudson Hornet painted in both white and yellow. He also had the words Twin-H-Power on both sides of his hood. Doc also had red racing wheels during his racing career.

After arriving in Radiator Springs to set up his own medical clinic, Doc attempted to hide his past by removing most of his decals, leaving only his dark blue coat of paint and his chrome grille, bumper, and lining.

Trivia

 * Doc won three Piston Cups during his racing days, but sadly, a big crash in 1954 ended his racing career.
