Roach

“The Roach” is a bespoke art car by Ryan C. Doyle, merging post-apocalyptic aesthetics with the practical functionality of a mutant vehicle. Designed to thrive in extreme environments, “The Roach” embodies adaptability and resilience.

Built on a 1973 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon, this mobile sculpture is radically transformed using found objects—metal scraps, bullet casings, animal skulls, and LED lights. Its dual bubbled canopies, resembling insect eyes, and fiberglass body, mimicking a cockroach shell, create a striking visual impact. Chrome exhaust pipes that emit flames and smoke enhance the car’s menacing presence, while a powerful sound system amplifies the immersive experience with music and sound effects.

“The Roach” is a testament to human creativity and resilience, embodying the spirit of survival and innovation. It challenges traditional notions of art, blending raw materials and bold design into a dynamic expression of ingenuity in the face of adversity.
