## General information

### Physical description

Chick is a 1979 Shyster Cremlin, a car that does not exist. It is based on and designed after a 1986 Buick Regal. Chick is painted green, with an 86 painted on his doors, and has yellow rims. He also has a grille in front, which serves as a mustache. According to the 2009 *Cars* Die-Cast Collectors Guide, Chick has a total of 334 stickers covering his body. On his hood, sides, rear and left headlight, he had a logo of his sponsor - HtB. In McQueen's nightmare, he gets a Dinoco sponsorship, is repainted blue, has his HtB logos replaced with Dinoco ones, and has less stickers. After his retirement, he becomes an RSN presenter, and his HtB logos are replaced with RSN stickers; "Chick Hicks 86" is now written on his hood instead of HtB, some contingency stickers are removed, and a "PRESS" sticker appears near the "Piston Cup" one.

### Powers and abilities

Chick is an incredibly fast race car that often does quite well in Piston Cup races, though he was inferior to The King's skills prior to his retirement in 2005, despite having around the same top speed as him (as evidenced by the 3 way tie where he was right next to The King at the finish line). Between the events of *Cars* and *Cars 3*, Chick retired and his sponsor did not return in *Cars 3*. Along with Lightning McQueen and The King, his top speed is in the area of 200 MPH. He has a small spoiler on his rear deck lid for aerodynamics.

### Relationships

Chick has been shown to have Boost, DJ, Snot Rod and Wingo as allies on several different occasions.

Chick is also friends with his team members - Bruiser Bukowski, Wide Chick Pitty, Pit Crew Chick, his hauler, Chief Chick, and the rest of his unnamed pitties. Though he was originally friends with El Machismo, Candice, and Stinger, they turned against him and apologized to Lightning for their actions.

His bigger relationship is with his academy and Olivia Keokina, a female G-Fuel racer.

## Trivia

* 86, Chick's number, is most likely a reference to 1986, the year that Pixar was established. Additionally, "86" is used as a slang term for "eliminating" someone or something, which may have influenced Pixar's decision. Also, 86 is twice of 43, The King's number, because he thinks he is better than him.
* The amount of stickers he has on him imply he is likely a sellout.
* According to old scripts, he was supposed to be named **Chick Murphy**.
