    Does 'The Bug" count? Also, the Praying Mantis, the Black Widow, and the Green Hornet!

    Just about every hot rod I've ever built started out as a "roached" out hulk;).

    and I think there was a Cockroach or La Cucaracha?
    VW Beetle was probably the most recognized insect in the car world.

    The Cockroach was part of a trade
    between HAMBers that I transported
    from Illinois to California several
    years ago.
