MONKEES, Rock, Pinups, Escablade, Pinto Shorty & THANKS!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from The Fireball Tim Garage! “I hope your Holidays are filled with JOY, LOVE and COOL CARS… and wanted to personally take this time to THANK ALL OF YOU who have supported OUR CAR CULTURE this year. It’s my sincerest desire to not only be grateful for THANKSGIVING, but to be grateful ALL YEAR LONG for the LOVE and KINDNESS you’ve sent me through your emails, texts, social and actual HUGS at shows. The world would be a better place if it were one big car show.

I’d be nothing without all of you… and I mean that. So, thank you.” -The Ball

And although most people take this day to EAT TOO MUCH, TALK TOO MUCH and then SLEEP, we here at the Garage are committed to GIVING YOU COOL CARS! So let’s start of with an all-new MONKEEMOBILE MASTERPRINT! Were, and ARE you a fan of the MONKEES? Would you ever NOT be?? Especially with the Dean Jeffries-Built PONTIAC… this Band had it goin’ on!

BUT DID YOU KNOW?? The Monkeemobile featured a split windshield, bucket seats, a third row bench, a rear-mounted parachute and a GTO emblem on the front grille. A second Monkeemobile was built to promote the show and was displayed at shopping centers and fairs, identical to the first, but came with air conditioning! Model Products Corporation (MPC) sold seven million toy Monkeemobile model kits, but the original Monkeemobile sold for $360,000 at auction in 2008. Each member of The Monkees was given a brand new 1966 Pontiac GTO as part of their contract!! Nice!

Also in today’s MONKEEBLAST, Classic Icon ROCK HUDSON poses with WHAT CAR? Fireball snaps with HOT ROD HOLLY at a SoCal Car Show, Fireball’s ESCABLADE Concept was an early Toy that didn’t make the cut, but it was cool… Family Vacation TRUCKSTER, Fifties Diner PINUP, FORD TORINO MUSCLE spotted on the STREETS OF VENTURA, Fireball’s TRUCKSTER ART is in the garage and waiting for YOUR WALL and lastly… Who’s got the BEST SMILE on the Planet?? Automotive Icon JO CODDINGTON does, that’s who… ONLY AT SEMA, baby!
