Fillmore is a light commercial vehicle/full size van, that is a shop owner, owning the Fillmore's Taste-In in which he sold organic fuels and hippie-themed merch. He is a member of Lightning McQueen crew team during his races, notably being part of the team in 2006, 2011 and 2016.
Some of the Cars staff members have said that Fillmore was to originally be named Waldmire, after a Route 66 resident that the crew befriended on their road trip to research the film. However, his namesake was a vegan, and since Fillmore toys would be featured in McDonald's happy meals, he didn't want the character to use his name, and the name was soon changed to Fillmore.

Fillmore in The World of Cars Online
In The World of Cars Online, Fillmore played a major role, as he owns Fillmore's Fields and he makes Fizzy Fuels, which were fuels you could buy for your car that made them do special actions, such as burping and backfiring. Fillmore opened up a minigame where you can help him make Fizzy Fuels. His fuel mixing area was sabotaged in August 2010 by Chick Hicks.
Fillmore and the rest of the pit crew got on the plane, and flew to Tokyo. There, they went seeing some of the sights in Tokyo. And then, he was at the party in Tokyo. Then when the party was over, Fillmore, along with the rest of the pit crew, wondered what was up with Mater.
The remaining members of Team McQueen read Mater's letter.
The next day, he was in the pits with the rest of the pit crew, helping Lightning to win the race. Then, he and the rest of the pit crew saw Mater's letter and started to cry.
Later, he and the rest of the pit crew went to Santa Ruotina, where Luigi's Uncle, Uncle Topolino lived. Then during the race in Porto Corsa, he notices that Lightning looks sad. He thinks that Lightning is worried that the fuel will blow up his engine, so he says to Lightning that the fuel is safe, only that Lightning replies that he wishes that Mater was with him.
Later, when they are in London, he was again in Lightning's pit crew, helping him through the race. Then when Mater came, he was surprised to see him. Then when he saw Mater using rockets, he was even more surprised. He wasn't seen fighting the lemons, probably because he's a pacifist.
Then when they get home, everyone wonders why Lightning didn't get killed by the lemons' camera. Then Fillmore reveals that Sarge switched Lightning's fuel with his organic biofuel.

General information
Physical description and traits
CARS 2 - Fillmore
Turntable video of Fillmore.
Fillmore is modeled after a 1960 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus, to support the fact that he is an older car. This type of car, often called a Hippie Bus/Van, was a popular mode of transportation among hippies and people who shared a culture like Fillmore's. In fact, the buses were often painted and decorated to reflect the values of the hippies, similar to the designs painted on Fillmore.
His license plate reads 51237, a reference to his first actor, George Carlin's birthday (May 12, 1937).
Fillmore is painted like a mint shade of green, with Peace, Groovy, and Love painted on either sides of his doors, as well as various swirl and flower designs. On his front, he has the VW logo, as well as chrome headlights. He has green rims, surrounded of course by black tire treads. He has his license plate on the front.
Personality and traits
Fillmore has a calm nature, sporting the mood of peace and love. He has a love for organic fuel, and brews his own brand right in Radiator Springs.
Powers and abilities
Fillmore has shown to have decent racing abilities, with outstanding boost and stability, though his acceleration is weak, with decent handling as well, as seen in the Cars video games.
Relationships
Sarge yells at Fillmore for playing his music.
Though Fillmore and Sarge argue all the time, the two are actually very good friends at heart. Some of his other friends include Lightning McQueen, who he works as a team member for, and various other Radiator Springs townspeople such as Ramone, Flo, and Luigi.
Fillmore has also shown dislike towards Professor Z and his team of lemons, who his friends fought in London.
"Fillmore is Radiator Springs' resident hippie. A believer in individuality and all things natural, he brews his own organic fuel and preaches its many benefits. Visitors can try Fillmore's special flavors in the tasting room behind his love-bead and tie-dye-covered geodesic dome. His many conspiracy theories and "naturally" unkempt yard drive his neighbor Sarge absolutely crazy."

Bio
"Radiator Springs' resident hippie Fillmore is an easy-going, peace-loving 1960s Volkswagen van. And as his friend and neighbor Sarge likes to say, "once a hippie, always a hippie." At his popular shop Fillmore's Taste-In, Fillmore brews his own fuel, which he sells with Bohemian accessories like tie-dyed mud flaps. But when he learns that the World Grand Prix will be run exclusively on the alternative fuel Allinol, Fillmore closes up shop and signs on as the fuel expert for Team Lightning McQueen.
