Spotted at the New York International Auto Show, this eye-catching custom car brings the colorful world of Monsters, Inc. to life with a bold wrap featuring fan-favorite characters James P. ‘Sulley’ Sullivan and Mike Wazowski. Displayed on the Javits Center’s lower floor, the vehicle stood out among more traditional automotive showcases thanks to its vibrant blue base, cartoon-style graphics, and performance-focused stance.

The car itself is a customized Chevrolet SS, featuring wide wheels, a lowered stance, and aerodynamic body elements. The design transforms the vehicle into a rolling piece of pop-culture art, with Sulley dramatically spanning the door panels while Mike peeks out near the rear quarter. The playful design reflects the growing trend of anime, gaming, and animated film themes appearing in car culture—especially in the “wrap culture” scene where vehicles become mobile canvases.

This particular build is sponsored by Cars on Tap, an automotive lifestyle brand and community known for blending car culture with pop culture, social events, and creative builds. Cars on Tap typically showcases customized vehicles at major shows and hosts automotive meet-ups that emphasize creativity, community, and visual storytelling. Their builds often feature bold graphics, unique themes, and collaborations with artists and enthusiasts. The social handles visible on the vehicle (@carsontap_official and @2ssulley) suggest this build is part of their ongoing effort to highlight themed cars that appeal to both automotive fans and pop-culture collectors.
At events like the New York International Auto Show, Cars on Tap vehicles serve a different purpose than traditional manufacturer displays. Instead of focusing on horsepower and specs alone, they celebrate personality and customization — demonstrating how cars can become personal expressions of art, nostalgia, and fandom. This Sulley-and-Mike (Plus Randall) build perfectly captures that spirit, turning a performance coupe into a playful tribute to Pixar’s monster world while drawing crowds looking for something fun, colorful, and unexpected.
