BUT DID YOU KNOW?? Miami Vice used a lot of 1980s pop and rock hits, as well as synthesized music by Jan Hammer. The show spent a ton of money on the rights to original recordings! The first season received 15 Emmy nominations and was the most of any show that year. It won four Emmys, including one for supporting actor Edward James Olmos. The show had a big impact on the city of Miami, boosting tourism and revitalizing South Beach and sales of the Wellcraft SCARAB 38′ KV increased 21% after the boat was featured in the show!!

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!

PARTRIDGE, McQueen, Ferrari, Pink, Pinup & Corvette Pickup!
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY!! Baam! Let’s start today’s coolness with Fireball’s all-new PARTRIDGE BUS MASTERPRINT! An awesome Hot Rod version of the Bus as are all of Fireball’s MasterSketches! ‘Cause you know, because more POWER is… well, MORE!!! Head into the Garage and CHECK IT OUT!!
DID YOU KNOW?? What do Richard Pryor, Rob Reiner and Ronald Reagan’s daughter Maureen have in common? They were all guest stars on “The Partridge Family.” The show hit the air in 1970 and quickly became a hit, transforming velour pantsuits, neck ruffles and David Cassidy into national obsessions. But the bus was originally a school bus used by the Orange County School District. Screen Gems, the company that produced the show, bought it for $500!! It was painted in a Mondrian-inspired style of primary colors, but after the show ended, wound up in a Los Angeles junkyard in 1987. The bus has been the subject of many unconfirmed sightings since then, including in a backyard in Northern California and a junkyard in upstate New York. YIKES, SCOOBY!

MAGNUM PI FERRARI, Brando, Sorcery, Pinups & AWESOME ART!!
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY!! It’s Monday and that means that PI’s are on the case! So let’s start with a super cool Fireball MAGNUM PI FERRARI MASTERPRINT!! Maybe his “stache” needs it’s own Netflix Series??
DID YOU KNOW?? The iconic red Ferrari driven by Magnum had to be modified to fit Selleck’s frame, including removing the padding from the seat. It was originally supposed to be a Porsche, but it couldn’t be appropriately modified… so the Ferrari took its place. Three Ferraris were used over the show’s eight seasons, each with the license plate “ROBIN 1”- Season 1: 1979 308 GTS – Seasons 2-6: 1981 308 GTSi – Seasons 7-8: 1984 308 GTSi quattrovalvole.
Also in today’s TROPICAL BLAST… Hollywood Icon MARLON BRANDO gives out a SIG from what Car? The Jerry-Rigged MOVIE CAR from the campy, cheesy METAL STORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED SYN! (Richard Band composed and recorded the score for this B-Movie in eleven days and it was Tim Thomerson’s first film for Charles Band. The late Richard Moll (who played Hurok) was discovered and cast by the producers of Night Court in 1984 for the role of Bull Shannon, the towering bailiff, while shooting this film. He shaved his head for the role and the producers of Night Court liked the look so much that Moll continued to shave his head for the show! Metal Storm combined elements of a western, post-apocalyptic, science fiction and sorcery. Wow!
PLUS… Fireball’s kick-ass 1992 SKETCHBOOK COVER ART, a SHOUT OUT SNAP with amazing artist HEATHER EDWARDS of THE DOG AND DRAGON, Fireball with the ROLLS ROYCE build for Nicholas Cage’s THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE, a stunning Latina Fireball PINUP and Fireball Pal NETTIE (@orangekrush64) from SEMA 2024!

FERRARI, Kevin Sorbo, Buckaroo, Terminator, & Car Girls!
Are you a fan of EXOTICS? Well, the FTG has just the thing with Fireball’s stunning LA FERRARI APERTA MASTERPRINT SKETCH! This thing is so fast that it might take you some time to catch it before it ends up on your Garage Wall! PLUS, MUGS & TEES! GO NOW!
DID YOU KNOW?? From Ferraris in Pop Culture… Pierce Brosnan debuts as 007 in GOLDENEYE, zipping down a winding European road in a silver Aston Martin DB5. Because he’s James Bond and Goldeneye is his movie, that Aston Martin is allowed to keep pace as a red Ferrari 355 GTS appears in his mirrors. It takes some movie magic and a hefty suspension of disbelief that femme fatale Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen) wouldn’t simply leave Bond in her rearview.
Perhaps Brosnan has a preference for Italian automobiles, given that a Ferrari 360 Modena appears in the introduction to his final film in the franchise, DIE ANOTHER DAY.
Also in today’s terminating BLAST, Fireball snaps with Hercules KEVIN SORBO, some Automotive Pop Culture with BUCKAROO BANZAI (Sketch Coming Soon!), Fireball in the shop with a NEW TERMINATING SECURITY SYSTEM, a super cool Military RAT BUG, some sexy cool MINI FANS snap with Fireball’s 500hp Cooper Crusher and another stunning FORD BRONCO AMERICANA MASTERPRINT!

CLASSIC FERRARI, Events, Snoop Dogg, Slammed & Multi-Pass!
Fireball has done a LOT of Ferraris over the years, but it all started with this Classic FERRARI 250GT 1959 Commission that was done for a celebrity in Malibu. And now it’s available as an all-new MASTERPRINT… and more! Which Supercar would you have Fireball do for YOUR Garage? On SKETCH DECK this coming week is a ’54 CUSTOM, TJ HOOKER, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN and another JAMES BOND!
DID YOU KNOW?? The iconic Black Stallion Logo was bestowed upon Ferrari by the mother of a famous Italian pilot named Francesco Baracca. The Countess requested that he use the emblem on his race cars. Obliged, Ferrari continues to use the logo but slightly altered to have a yellow background for all cars. The last car to receive Enzo’s personal approval was the iconic Ferrari F40!
EVENTS are coming for the Holidays starting with WHEELS AND WAVES on October 6th! (See the SCHEDULE here!) But included in Fireball’s itinerary is a new TRUNK OR TREAT with Channel Islands Harbor, the Los Angeles HOT WHEELS CONVENTION in October, SEMA in November and THE DIECAST SUPERCON VEGAS in February!

BONUS SKETCH!! Stude Silverhawk, Foggy Ferrari & Fireball U
Today’s BONUS SKETCH is a Classic 1957 Studebaker SILVERHAWK which was designed by Robert Bourke as head of the Studebaker Design Team contracted from Raymond Loewy Associates. A super beautiful and unique car that was waaaaay ahead of it’s time… and a little quirky as all Stoodies were. And so was Raymond Loewy, btw… (Quirky, that is.)
Plus, Fireball stretches the legs of a 2005 FERRARI MODENA from the Museum on an 805 foggy morning. The only sounds were chirping birds, the wind and a screamin’ visceral Italian V8! Woosh!
Are you studying to be an Official CUSTODIAN OF COOL at Fireball U? Then get your dang swag and share your LOVE OF CARS! That’s all I’ve got… peace out, ppl!
