More on Mater the Boom Truck

(Posted by Ron: Four-wheeled Inspiration for Mater is Found)

The actual post is at: http://rwarn17588.wordpress.com/2006/10/05/four-wheeled-
inspiration-for-mater-is-found


Rod Harsh, proprietor of Route 66 TV Online and chairman of the Route 66 Committee of Jasper County, Mo., had been diligently looking for the tow-truck inspiration of the character Tow Mater, voiced memorably by Larry the Cable Guy, in the hit animated movie, “Cars.”

He found it.

The good news is the truck (second photo above) will be exhibited and treasured at a historic Route 66 gas station that’s being refurbished in Galena, Kan.

But first, a little background …

In 2001, a crew from Pixar Animation Studios was being guided by Route 66 author and expert Michael Wallis down the Mother Road to do research for “Cars,” which includes the Mother Road as a central part of its theme.

A dedication to late Pixar animator Joe Ranft in the book “The Art of Cars” describes what happened during the research tour:

In Galena, Kansas, we found a lonely old tow truck that most folks would pass by without a second glance. Our Head of Story Joe Ranft, however, saw beyond the rust and broken-down parts — he saw the inspiration for the character Mater. They soon became kindred spirits. Joe gave Mater his warmth, his sense of fun, his humble and generous spirit, and his capacity to see — and bring out — the best in others.

There’s a piece of Joe in every movie Pixar has ever made. But Joe truly was the heart of Cars.

Here is a photo of Ranft gazing at the beat-up truck that eventually would become Mater:

Tragically, Ranft died in a traffic accident in August 2005, before he saw his creation come to life in movie theaters.

In April, Wallis looked for that truck while he was filming a segment about “Cars” for the Disney Channel’s “Movie Surfers” program.

The crew was unable to film one of the “Cars” inspirations, however. When the Pixar crew first traveled down Route 66, the studio’s “story guru,” Joe Ranft, became inspired by a rusty old pickup truck he saw in a junkyard near Galena, Kan. That truck provided much of the template to the equally rusty and rickety Mater. […] Wallis said he had hoped to buy the truck and fix it up so it would be running again.

Harsh read about the truck and its inspiration for Mater in the summer issue of Route 66 Magazine and went to look for it. He couldn’t find it. He kept looking for it.

The truck had been parked for years next to an abandoned, circa-1933 gas station at Old Route 66 and Main Street in Galena. Galena businessman Larry Courtney recently purchased the building, sans truck, to convert it into a gift shop and snack bar.

Courtney had no idea of the connection of the gas station’s truck to Pixar until Harsh told him. The truck eventually was found in a farm field, with its hood a quarter-mile away, Harsh said. Courtney purchased the truck, and it’s being stored in an undisclosed location.

“Mater” is a 1951 International boom truck, not a tow truck. Harsh surmises the extra-long boom was used to lift equipment out of the lead-mine shafts that dot the region. Wallis confirmed it is the same truck that Ranft saw in 2001.

Now “Mater” will become a part of the gas station’s attractions.

Harsh is planning a media event at 9 a.m. Nov. 3 Nov. 11 at Courtney’s station, where the truck will be parked for the public to see all day weekend and celebrate Route 66’s 80th anniversary. After that, the truck will be put back into storage until the station opens in the spring. At that time, the truck will be parked beside the station in its old spot so “Cars” and Route 66 fans can enjoy it.

Kudos to Mr. Harsh and his plans in Galena, Ks. Galena is a town of mostly historic bldgs. that are in danger of being lost. More should be done to revive the Main Street area of Galena. With the building of the interstate highway system, a lot of small towns across the USA have become “ghost towns.” It would be a shame for the history of this small town to be lost with so many others.
2. Chad Kerychuk - October 12, 2006

Not since the Brokeback Mountain vehicle, has a movie-related truck garnered so much attention. Fun stuff. I’m sure Ranft would be happy to see it preserved, rust and all!
3. Phil Frey - October 15, 2006

While I have no doubt that they were inspired by this truck, I believe they also took many cues from this truck as well:

http://www.edwoodonline.com/mater.html

It is seen in the Cars Podcast “Kickin’ It On Route 66″ and shares a lot of physical featurs with Mater, such as color and the nature of the headlights.
4. Ron - October 15, 2006

Interesting, Phil. I either don’t remember that moment from the podcast, or I hadn’t seen it.

I wouldn’t be surprised that the truck you’ve shown had an influence. But Pixar and the writer of “The Art of Cars” made it a point to show the old boom truck in Galena, Kan., and its impact on the Mater.

Either way, thanks for bringing it to my — and our — attention. It’s something to think about.

6. Alisha Newby - December 10, 2006

I live in the area of Galena KS and drove over with the kids today 12-10-06, and found “mater” sitting and still decorated from the Christmas parade and events in Galena. My kids as well as myself and my husband love the movie “CARS” and the kids thought it was a real treat to see the REAL MATER… my 3 year old was still talking about Tow Mater when he fell asleep tonight.

Fess Reynolds’ Place (1977)
by Bryce Martin

Lebec, Calif. -- Fess Reynolds trains various animals here. He has a dingo that has dropped a stick at my feet from its mouth and is looking up at me as if I should know what to do next. I’m watching Reynolds as he has Frosty, a full-grown Brahma bull, tethered and walking in a circle. The working area is much like a large pit. The ground is totally devoid of vegetation and sloped on the outsides at a back angle all the way around. You name the animal and he has probably trained one here for movie work. Frosty is a minor movie star himself. I toss the stick with a strong throw, thinking the dingo may lose sight of it. Reynolds talks to me as he keeps Frosty moving slowly. I don’t know what the regimen amounts to. Some of his animals were used years ago by car dealer Cal Worthington for his late-night TV ads featuring his “dog Spot,” who was hardly ever a dog, but a tiger, camel or some other animal. Reynolds is a common sight in the area, running animals up and down the highway from Hollywood movie sets to his ranch and back and forth. He became a traffic hazard of sorts because of all the gawkers. He said the California Highway Patrol ordered him to quit hauling lions on his flatbed truck going down Highway 99. The dingo returns the stick back at my feet and returns its arrogant stare at me. I look at the stick and it appears to be the same one. As I reach to pick it up, the dingo’s head darts some toward my hand. I pick up the stick and really fling it this time. Reynolds mentions how his son Jug played the role of Little Beaver in Red Ryder movies, replacing Robert Blake (known then as Bobby Blake). As Red Ryder’s sidekick, Little Beaver was a lovable little Navajo boy whose catchphrase was “You betchum, Red Ryder,” a phrase often uttered in my neighborhood and schoolyard in the early 1950s when old cowboy reels filled our TV screens. (Blake portrayed Little Beaver for all the Republic features from 1944-47 with Bill Elliott as Red Ryder. Don Kay "Little Brown Jug" Reynolds followed as the last movie Little Beaver with Jim Bannon as Red Ryder for Eagle-Lion films.). The elder Reynolds, who is short and stocky, looks like one of the many crusty sidekicks that cowboy movie stars in all those low-budget affairs always had, has another son called Sled who lives nearby and who also trains animals for movie work. All of his boys, I don’t know how many, have been involved with rodeo, movie stunt work, and animal training most of their lives. The dingo drops the stick again. I bend to pick it up and he clamps his teeth on my hand. Not hard enough to break the skin, but a crushing pressure nonetheless. I pull my hand up as it releases its bite. I toss the stick for the last time.

Tales of Mickey Mantle
by Bryce Martin

The ball park at Baxter Springs did not have an outfield fence. It had a dusty road beyond the outfield area, an arc-shaped road that could have served as a pattern for a fence, except it was a long way from home plate. Well beyond the road was Spring River. As a youth there playing baseball people were telling me how Mantle hit one in the river when he was with the Baxter Springs Whiz Kids. It would have been a chore to even hit one to the dusty road. I thought they meant it rolled into the river, and I didn't see even that as being believable. No, they said, it went into the river in the air. It had to be a minimum of 700 feet, I would estimate.

I mentioned this to John Hall in 2004, who at the time was working on a book about Mantle that I was helping research.

"You are right about the ballpark at Baxter," Hall said. "It was a 'mile' from home plate to Spring River. Nobody and I mean nobody ever hit one into the river in the air unless they were using a fungo and were standing in medium deep right field. There are a lot of myths and that one is right up there among them. I took Barney Barnett Jr. out there a year or so ago and remarked at the time that it would have taken Mickey three fungo shots to put a ball in the river from that distance."

Mantle didn't play in an organized baseball setting until he was 10. By then, his father Mutt had been grooming him. The idea of Mickey actually being on a team in some real games must have really excited Mutt. It was in those earliest years when Mutt was most intense. He could now see and judge his model in action. Once Mutt got used to the scene, you would think he would become less demanding and more understanding. No so, said Hall.

"I do know that Mutt was 'out of control' on a lot of occasions when he attended even some KOM League games in which Mickey played. Bob Mallon recalled that Mutt came up to Independence and after drinking too much would yell obscenties during the game at everyone. Bob recalls that Mickey was very embarrassed by his dad's antics."

Mantle's first pro season was in 1949 for Independence (Kansas) of the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League. Mallon was a teammate.

Memories of Galena, Kan., 1929


I have tried to recreate the 1929 Telephone Directory for Galena, Kansas, my home town. The area here is insufficient to include the telephone numbers, but I will list the names. It totally amazes me that only 18 years before my birth Galena was such a prosprous and booming city. 7 attorneys, 4 drug stores, 24 grocery and meat markets, 5 doctors, and 6 schools. Things sure aren't what they used to be. I hope these names and addresses will bring back a lot of memories. It has taken me a while to type this information because I kept catching myself going back in time and imagining what the stores actually looked like and exactly where they were located. Even though people didn't have very much, in a way they had more than we do today. They had closeness, love, caring, sharing, happiness. Today, if it isn't materialistic, people don't think they have anything. Anyway, I hope you enjoy remembering way back then.

"I Got Those State Fair Gastro-Intestinal Blues"

The funnel on that cake must have been the tailend of a tornado
It must have been the biggest stuffed potato ever out of Idaho
My triple corndog contained three times more corndog than the recommened daily allowance.
The hard lemonade was way too hard
I think those bomb pops had some real bombs inside
Someone forgot to dehorn the elk burger
...

"Keep a Cool Tool, a Firm Worm and Don't Let Your Meat Loaf"
...

"Geraldine, the Bus Stop Queen"

Every morning at eight and evening at five
All those workin' boys come alive
Those are the times she's on the scene
Geraldine, the bus stop queen

She's got curves and long, long stems
A shape like a goddess in a museum
I'll get another peek if I have to lean
Geraldine, the bus stop queen

chorus:
Pedal pushers and tight capris
Or some faded old blue jeans
Geraldine, you beat all I've ever seen
Geraldine, the bus stop queen

She's got traffic backed up for miles around
Anybody have a car horn that doesn't sound?
Guys driving in circles and stopping to stare
You'd think it was Marilyn Monroe on the square

bridge:
Hey, somebody loan me a dime
I'm gonna call the help line
I'm addicted to what I've seen
Geraldine, the bus stop queen

Drawing on the Left Side of the Television
by Bryce Martin

Jon Nagy really did want you to learn how to draw.

I knew how to draw, I just wanted to get better at it. Nagy had a television show in the late 1950s where you could draw along with him.

Literally.

You placed a transparent sheet of plastic of some sort over the TV screen and, as he suggested, you then drew over the lines he had just drawn. I did the tracing with a grease pencil. It worked fairly well, but thin lines were out of the question. I got the transparent whatever it was from a cousin who had at one time the entire set. Nagy had some kind of drawing kit you could purchase where games such as Monopoly were sold.

The artist was a beatnik, or he at least looked like a beatnik. That look, with the goatee, was in vogue in some circles. The most mainstream example was actor Bob Denver as Maynard G. Krebs on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. By the time Gilligan's Island rolled around, Denver, as Gilligan, was old hat to us TV veterans.

The method was no use to me at all. First, though it held fairly well to the screen on its own, I still had to press down on a top corner with my left hand to hold the sheet firmly in place. Second, it was way too basic. As I said, I already knew how to draw and this was a step backwards. I had learned on my own that the drawing surface, the material being used to draw on -- even different types of paper -- mattered. The drawing utensil was a huge factor. A fine, sharpened pencil, for example, delivered a different effect than a rounded, worn one.

My Nagy drawing aid quickly ended up with another sheet of TV screen plastic, in File 13 with the tri-color sheet used to simulate color television. That one had green on the lower third, then brown and then blue. You stuck it on your black and white TV screen and on some westerns you'd hit upon a scene where it actually seemed to serve its purpose. Fortunately, or not, westerns made up most of television programming then.
