OZ, Wraith, Harpo, Kool Max, Jane Seymour, Grub & Yellow Sub
Good morning you TORRENTIAL TERRORS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! And right outta the gate like a Whirling Dervish is Fireball’s amazing ART from OZ with WICKED, THE WRAITH Classic Movie and THE BEATLES YELLOW SUB!!
DID YOU KNOW?? The art direction and character designs for “Yellow Submarine” were primarily by German-speaking Czech graphic artist Heinz Edelmann, who was brought to London by director George Dunning. Edelmann’s designs were considered groundbreaking and helped shape the film’s unique visual style, which blended two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements. Edelmann was a graphic designer and illustrator before being hired for the film, and his lack of experience in filmmaking might have contributed to the innovative techniques used.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Fireball and Kim hit Ventura’s famous hotshot, CASA DE SORIA (Since 1958) to get some serious Mexican Grub… and it was EPIC! Also, Fireball busts it out on PCH via this Classic Caddy and a VINTAGE BALL SNAP from 1972 at the Kona Village on the BIG ISLAND of Hawaii!! This place was later completely destroyed by a Hurricane!
NEW COLORING BOOKS are on the way!! But for now, check out Fireball’s Infamous TIKI COLORING BOOK, his all-new KOOLMAX COOLER for Summer Slurps and Songs and the all-new BEATLES YELLOW SUBMARINE MUGSHOT!!

Jeep 14 wasn’t actually used in the movie but served as a backup. The Jeeps were given double-digit numbers to create the impression of a larger fleet. The park’s vehicles were later seen in Jurassic World, with some of the same vehicles being used in both films.
