History

Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze at the Lightning McQueen fan meeting in 2006.

Rusty Rust-eze is a rusted compact car that, together with his brother, Dusty Rust-eze, lived in his mother's garage in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. He and his brother loved telling jokes and helping other rusted cars. Because of that they developed medicated bumper ointment around 1991. They started a small company called Rust-eze, operating from their mother's garage, with their invention as a main product. It eventually grown into a household name with factories all over the country. Despite of company's success, they kept living in their mother's garage. Rusty and Dusty's mother stated that she was proud of her sons' successes but hoped their would eventually move out.

Around 2006, he and his brother searched for somebody to represent their product, organizing an open casting. Eventually, their worker, Mack, recommended racing driver Lightning McQueen. They signed contract with him and started Piston Cup racing team. McQueen's successes on the racing field gave company publicity and a fanbase focused around the racer and Rust-eze products. Through the racing season they would organize fan meetings with McQueen during which they would tell a joke to the spectators while awaiting Lightning's speech. When McQueen disappeared after the race at the Motor Speedway of the South, they were worried and stated to the media that they did not know were he was.
