DUKES, Ventura, Duel & Reno’s NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM!
Time to Hump it with a Wednesday and AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Let’s get the car jumpin’ with Fireball’s DUKES OF HAZZARD CHARGER MASTERPRINT! Yup… it’s a MUGSHOT too as long as you can chase it down! But there’s nothing better than a Nostalgic Cool Car Mug to wash down a quadruple Latte!
DID YOU KNOW?? Boss Hogg, the villainous county commissioner from “The Dukes of Hazzard,” is known for his all-white suit, cigar, and political ruthlessness. He’s also a character with a few quirky fun facts, including the use of a fat suit by Sorrell Booke to make him appear larger than his actual size. Booke was also a highly educated individual, fluent in several languages and even a graduate of Yale and Columbia.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Walking the streets of Ventura, you spot COOLNESS on every corner. The only thing better it to DRIVE THEM! Which, of course… happens!
FEATURED ART!! Fireball’s DUEL TRUCK and Star Wars DUKE OF SAND make perfect GIFTS for those that love MOVIES or TV and Cars! Birthday coming up? Give ’em a Mugshot and watch that frown turn UPSIDE DOWN!! (Unless, they are sitting on a Cactus to which we’d recommend going to hospital first…)
CONCEPT ART!! Fireball’s Arrowhead Lake House Watercolor Study is an A-Frame dream to have. Visualize what you want, Art it up and then get busy GETTIN’ SHIT DONE! Plus, a FIREBALL FLAT TOP called THE TRUCKINATOR!
NEW COLORING BOOK coming to the NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM in RENO, NEVADA!! Whoa… hold the presses!! Fireball is working currently on a brand new Coloring Book for the NAM in Reno and it’s gonna be EPIC! Have you been to this Museum? An amazing collection of cars and soon to be… well, MORE AMAZINGER!!! Be sure to make it one of your stops if you’re traveling California, but the Book will be launching in the next few weeks featuring the 1908 THOMAS FLYER ON THE COVER!!

URBAN OUTLAW, Mad Max, SPFX, Spock, Chevys, Dukes & ATeam!
Good Morning folks, and WELCOME TO AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Let’s launch outta the gate with Magnus Walker’s URBAN OUTLAW PORSCHE 277 and the MAD MAX MFP POLICE CAR! Imagine a chase with these guys through the night-time downtown Streets of LA! Now that’s a CHASE!
DID YOU KNOW?? The MFP (Main Force Patrol) Pursuit Special from Mad Max was a heavily modified Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe. Supercharged with 600 horsepower. The MFP is a small, underfunded group of highway patrol officers in a dystopian Victoria, Australia. But I guess they have enough funding for some serious cars!
Also in today’s PURSUIT BLAST… a Vintage snap with SPFX Wiz STAN WINSTON while working on a new film called “REGGIE” about a found Bigfoot Child which Stan was to direct. In development for several months, but sadly Stan passed away and the film dissolved.
Also… a MONSTER TRUCK PINTO? Well, why not? Plus, SPOCK loved cars and he especially loved his BUICK RIVIERA! Didn’t fit as many as the ENTERPRISE, but it was cool.
Today’s COMMISSION ART! This CHEVY MALIBU “CHEVHELL” client wanted something extreme… and that’s what Fireball does best! And a new version of Carson Lev’s 1960 CHEVY BEL AIR on a MUG! Should Fireball do more Collectible Chevy’s? LEAVE A COMMENT as to what you’d want him to SKETCH NEXT!
And lastly… rockin’ the Duke’s CHARGER through Malibu was a cool experience. Although nowadays might ruffle a few feathers… JUST A CAR, PEOPLE!
NEW BEST OF SHOW EPISODE TOMORROW and watch ART TALK LIVE this morning at 8am(pst) on FACEBOOK LIVE from Fireball’s Page!!

COLUMBO, Farrah, Dukes Behind the Scenes, Pinup & Ferrari!
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Good Morning Ass-Kickers! Let’s rock the day outta here with a great Behind the Scenes shot of COLUMBO and Fireball’s MASTERPRINT of his car, the 1959 Peugeot 403 Grande Luxe Cabriolet! Check it out in the Garage!
DID YOU KNOW?? Falk’s glass eye in place of his right eye (which he lost to cancer at age three) is the reason for his signature squint. Falk almost got fired for missing his mark on set, so he started incorporating looking down to see the glass eye as one of Columbo’s mannerisms. He was given the freedom to improvise lines, gestures, and mannerisms, which helped develop Columbo’s character. Falk’s own 25-year-old raincoat was used for Columbo’s iconic raincoat and Steven Spielberg directed the first episode!!
Also in today’s COLUMBO COOL BLAST… Fireball’s People at local CAR SHOWS include ISKY, Realtor MARCELLA KETELHUT and Starsky Expert LOU CICCIARI. More BEHIND THE SCENES with FARRAH on Charlie’s Angels prepping for set and the infamous PINTO as a Fireball MASTERPRINT! Plus, the Duke Boys ON SET and takin’ a break!

BATGIRL, Leno, Hot Rods, TJ Hooker, Dukes, Behind the Scenes
Welcome back to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Hope everyone had a MOST EXCELLENT Christmas! Today, we explode outta the gate with this Classic BATGIRL Masterprint! Sure, she didn’t have a car in the series, BUT SHE SHOULDA! And this was Fireball’s take! The ’55 BATCLASSIC! Check out the coolness in the Garage!
DID YOU KNOW?? In the 1966 Batman TV show, Batgirl (played by Yvonne Craig) was known for her iconic “Batgirl Cycle” which was actually a customized Yamaha YCS1 Motorcycle with special “bat-wing” additions. She performed most of her own stunts, and her character was introduced as a way to add a “girl power” element to the show, often playfully competing with Batman and Robin as part of the “Terrific Trio!” Despite the production wanting a BATGIRL Spinoff, she only appeared in a handful of episodes throughout the series. Bummer… ’cause we would watched that!
Also in today’s BATALICIOUS BLAST… LENO & Fireball discuss Diecast Coolness, HOT RODS and Custom BIKES at the final CROWN CLASSICS in Ventura, Fireball hangs with PORSCHE-POWERED Clare Champion in Malibu, Behind the Scenes with WILLIAM SHATNER of TJ HOOKER, MINIATURES on DUKES OF HAZZARD and the Boys in Blue FILMING for ADAM 12!! Ahh… Hollywood. PLUS, Fireball’s CONCEPT ART for the unmade SIX CITIES. A cross between FAST & FURIOUS & MAD MAX! Still could be made!

DID YOU KNOW?? While John Schneider and Tom Wopat were the ostensible stars of the show, both the actors and the show’s producers quickly found out that the main attraction was the 1969 Dodge Charger—dubbed the General Lee—that trafficked brothers Bo and Luke Duke from one caper to another. Of the 60,000 letters the series was receiving every month in 1981, 35,000 were addressed TO THE CAR!
