Trivia[]
- Michael Wallis, who voices Sheriff, is a Route 66 historian. Therefore, it is fitting that he'd voice the sheriff of Route 66's own Radiator Springs.
- Sheriff's home appears to be behind the billboard in Ornament Valley. In Cars: Fast as Lightning, his home is the Courthouse.
- Sheriff seems to have an experience with high-speed pursuits.

- This is likely due to his age.

- Although Sheriff is not playable in Cars: Mater-National Championship, playable data for him can be found in the game's files.
- Sheriff has a few speaking lines in Cars 3.
- Sheriff is a 1949 Mercury Police Cruiser, fitted with aftermarket "curb feelers" designed to help avoid scuffing his whitewall tires and equipped with Federal Signal Beacon Ray Model 137B and Dual Sterling Model 30 siren.
- Sheriff's license plate shows his month and year (November, 1949), the Radiator Springs logo, and also shows just who is number one in Carburetor County.
