Lizzie arrived in Radiator Springs in 1927, and fell in love with both the town and Stanley, its founder. She eventually became fascinated with Stanley’s vision for a desert oasis and a restspot for travelers on Route 66. After that, Lizzie and Stanley became the heart and soul of Radiator Springs. They married, and were together until Stanley died. Lizzie now owns the Radiator Springs Curio Shop, and is often seen visiting the bronze statue of Stanley, set up on the spot where Radiator Springs was founded.
