THE DUKE, Easter, Pebble, Sketches, Olds F88 & EMERGENCY!
Happy Thursday folks and let’s do some AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE starting with Fireball’s super cool DUKE CADILLAC from ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK!! Should they make another film? Oh, hell yes… And we want CRIPSY PLISSKEN!
DID YOU KNOW?? Kurt Russell considers Escape from New York his favorite film and Snake Plissken his favorite character and Russell himself suggested the eyepatch! He pitched himself hard for the role of Snake Plissken, as he was very keen to shake off his Disney image. Done!
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… We hope Easter was good for all you guys! Here’s a shot of what Fireball made for a “very special person.” Spaghetti Bolognese with TONS of Garlic! And any of you guys heading to PEBBLE BEACH in August?? Should be awesome!
FEATURED ART?? It’s a tryptic of EMERGENCY ART!! Check out the amazing selection of Squad 51, Engine 51 and the Ambulance on MUGS, TEES and CANVAS PRINTS in the Garage! So cool!!
CONCEPT ART! Fireball whipsnaps a CHEVY BEL AIR in flights and a sinister GHOST VETTE on Canson. Real Men do REAL SKETCHES…
And today’s CONCEPT CAR is this stunning Corvette-esque 1954 OLDSMOBILE F88 cruisin’ the buttes of the Southwest. Life doesn’t get much better.
TOMORROW!! After ART TALK LIVE, Fireball will be driving the 2025 CADILLAC CELESTIQ and it’s gonna be wild! Possibly even LIVE starting at 1 or 1:30pm! Stay tuned!

CHRISTINE, BullBalls, Emergency, Hot Rods, Concepts & Curls!
Welcome to America’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Yes, we are excited to live in a country where there are so many cool cars! Let’s start ‘er up with a MASTERPRINT of CHRISTINE and Fireball Peep Snap of Actor ALEXANDRA PAUL! Yup, she was the young girl in the film who SURVIVED the Killer Car!
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? The movie used more than 20 Plymouths, including Furys, Belvederes, and Savoys. They were painted red and white, and the gold trim was painted silver. Crashed, set on fire, and crushed… the remaining cars were used to promote the movie and then sold to collectors. Stephen King chose the 1958 Plymouth Fury because he thought it was a “forgotten car.” Now it’s IMMORTALIZED!

ROBOCOP, Emergency, Peeps, Pinup, The General & The Windsong
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! How’r you guys holdin’ up with the FIRES?? Leave a Comment! Today, we HIT IT HARD with a ROBOCOP Behind the Scenes and Fireball’s ROBODUKE MASTERPRINT! Not only did Director Paul Verhoven shoot the film, but he had his own RoboArm!
DID YOU KNOW?? The original plan was for RoboCop to drive a futuristic police car called the Robo-Mobile or the Turbo-Car, but it was deemed too ridiculous. Yea, we’d have to agree with that one. But Ford was not involved in the production of the first RoboCop movie and was upset that its Ford Taurus’ were used in such a violent film. But now… I think they’re ok with it. Silly Ford doods…
Also in today’s ROBOBLAST… The Cast of EMERGENCY along with Fireball’s #1 BEST SELLER… the SQUAD 51!! Fireball Peeps at shows include Master Photographer PEP WILLIAMS, a Fireball Commission for Frenchman PIERRE BOGROS, Pinstriper JOHNNY MARTINEZ and Superfan GOOD DOG CARL!!

EMERGENCY at the Garage gets a RESCUE from ENGINE 51…
Whew! That was a close one as I was SKETCHING at Lightning Speed! Suddenly, by pencil caught fire and before I know, EMERGENCY ENGINE 51 appeared in the Garage! And like super pros, the tiny flame was extinguished with a drop of Courage and a Heroic Gesture. Done.
EMERGENCY! was a TV Show that aired from Universal in NBC that ran from January 15, 1972 to May 28, 1977 with 122 Episodes. And it was a HIT with six additional telefilms over the following 2 years. It starred Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe. And today, Fireball’s SKETCH of SQUAD 51 gets paired nicely with the brand new ENGINE 51! Get it in the Garage and stay FROSTY!

BONUS SKETCH! Bosozoku Celica, Mini 220, Diecast & EMERGENCY
I get to SKETCH a lot of cool cars like HiroK’s BOSOZOKU Celica GT you see here. The cooler the BETTER, I always say. But I’m so grateful when someone reaches out and hires me to whip-snap their ride and it results in 5 cars for SEMA and a crap load of others coming!
But each say is a GIFT and getting to SKETCH Concept Art for you guys and for Movies is the BEST! So today, along with Hiro’s ride comes the all-new MINI 220. A concept, that although didn’t get built in my shop, made it into the GARAGE for you guys who love the Coops. All my MINIS were fast and a little scary, but this one will only chill on your wall and look badass. So no worries.
Also found this VINTAGE BALL of me doin’ the Diecast thing in 1973 with some Corgi’s and Dinkys! You can’t really see it, but in the upper right corner was a massive close-up photo of HARPO MARX laughing. I woke up to the picture for YEARS! No wonder I love havin’ a good time!
And… a word of CAUTION. The latest EMERGENCY CANVAS PRINT just launched this morning may cause severe coolness in you world. So BEWARE. This is my Official Disclaimer as I don’t want your head to POP OFF when someone enters your crib and starts flippin’ the wild weenie. They may… and you’ll have to handle it.
Tons of new BEST OF SHOW episodes are coming every day so be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Youtube Channel!
And finally… A BIG THANK YOU to today’s NEW SUBSCRIBERS to the Garage! You guys ROCK!!
