POLICE TRIBUTE, Kevin Hart, Flying Woodie & Shagalicious!
Today, we lay tribute to a fallen hero… and as normally, you’d get nothing but POSITIVE VIBES here in the Garage, Fireball was approached by Steve Johnston of DIECAST SUPERCON in Vegas for this FORD EXPLORER POLICE CRUISER.
“Sergeant Thomas Sanfratello died after after responding to a dispute between two patrons at one of the Batavia Downs Casino’s bars at 8315 Park Road in Batavia. He lost his life in the service of his duty… Sergeant Sanfratello had served with the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office for 32 years and had twice been recognized as Officer of the Year. He is survived by his son, two daughters, mother, two sisters, nieces, and nephews.” Sergeant Sanfratello’s CRUISER is now immortalized in the Garage with 100% or proceeds going to the Families.
Also in today’s blast, WHEELS AND WAVES is coming on October 6th and you never know who will attend a Fireball Show. This one from Malibu with Comedian/Actor KEVIN HART! Also, Fireball launches a FLYING WOODIE SKETCH, contemplates memories of his AUSTIN POWERS SHAGALICIOUS CADILLAC and stamps a new BEST OF SHOW Episode with this BRONZE HOT ROD BEAUTY! WATCH!

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! Join in the fun!!

FANTASY ISLAND, Excalibur Kustom, Furious & the Boys in Blue
Happy Monday! Let’s get this COOL CAR Party started with an all-new FANTASY ISLAND MASTERPRINT that brings Paradise… and a bit of Sinister DoBADerry into your Garage, Home of Studio! We’re you a fan of “DA PLANE??” Then you know that evil lurks…
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? FANTASY ISLAND began as two made-for-television movies… and did so well that it became a series which aired from 1978 to 1984. Every Saturday night, fans would wait with excitement to hear Tattoo yell “De plane! De plane!” to find out who was heading to the Creepy Island that week. People could come to live out their fantasies on the mysterious island, overseen by Mr. Roarke, but with anything… there was always a price. The network and producer Aaron Spelling actually wanted different actors in the lead role and most of the time, Spelling won. But not against “Rich Corinthian Leather!”
Also in today’s blast, Fireball belts out an EXCALIBUR KUSTOM TRUCK Sketch for those wanting coolness, a shot of the BOYS IN BLUE and their ’67 Plymouth from the infamous ADAM 12, plus a brand new FAST & FURIOUS MITSUBISHI MASTERPRINT with additional new Shirts and Mugs! Check it out!
Today’s BEST OF SHOW Episode features a GULF LIVERY GM GEM CAR! Oh, the Horror!! WATCH!!

TRUCKSTER, ’67 Charger, Jade Idol, 600, Knievel & CLOCKWORK!
As of this BLAST, the NATIONAL LAMPOON FAMILY TRUCKSTER is in the #1 slot for fans of the Garage and it’s easy to know why… ’cause it’s just frikkin’ cool, that’s what! And if you’ve seen the movie, then all you want to do is buy a Wagon and hit the road!
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? A heavily-modified 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagon, the design, and cringe-worthy title of Wagon Queen Family Truckster were the brainchild of George Barris. Five Wagon Queens were built for the movie, primarily to be wrecked for the vehicle’s never-ending series of mishaps. For the iconic ‘turn off the highway scene’, stunt coordinator Dick Ziker made a bet against other crew members that he would be able to jump the Family Truckster more than 50 feet before crashing into the desert floor. Ziker won the bet. Ouch.
Also in today’s blast, Fireball scoots a ’67 Dodge Charger along PCH in search of Car Shows, a super hot SKETCH of Gene Winfield’s JADE IDOL smack outta his Coloring Book, Fireball’s rendition of Jeff Styles’ EVEL KNIEVEL VAN that’s premiering at SEMA this year and a CELEB SHOT of Malcolm McDowell and the car from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE! Robin Gibbons lent Stanley Kubrick his Probe 16 (AB/4) for use in filming in 1971. In the movie, it’s referred to as the “Durango 95!”
BEST OF SHOW Episode?? This MERCEDES BENZ 600 PULLMAN LIMO CONVERTIBLE spotted at Supercar Sunday! WATCH!!

ESCAPE FROM NY, The King, Hornet, Hot Rods & CRISPY PLISSKIN
If there were ever a singular source for AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE, you’ve found it in THE FIREBALL TIM GARAGE! And today, we launch a new ESCAPE FROM NY Duke Cadillac MASTERPRINT that beeegggg a new ESCAPE movie! And there might be one on the flaming horizon!! Could it be ESCAPE THE EARTH or ESCAPE THE EAST with Crispy Plisskin?? Stay tuned right here…
DID YOU KNOW?? The film, set in the near-future world of 1997, concerns a crime-ridden United States, which has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into the country’s sole maximum security prison. Air Force One is hijacked by anti-government insurgents who deliberately crash it into the walled borough. Though the film takes place in New York City, director JC said he and his crew couldn’t film some of the more ambitious sequences there because it would have “tied up the whole city too much,” so they went looking for an alternate location, and found one in St. Louis, Missouri. Why St. Louis? Well, a few years prior to filming, a fire destroyed parts of that city’s waterfront, leaving large areas of ruined buildings and empty streets that provided the perfect post-apocalyptic look.
Also in today’s blast, Fireball spots the PINK JEEP from Elvis’ Classic BLUE HAWAII, snap time with ZZTop’s Billy Gibbons in Hollywood, then sketches up the infamous and Fabulous HUDSON HORNET!! Color version coming soon on this one! Plus, Fireball’s WHEELS AND WAVES is happening on October 6th! Don’t miss it at the Channel Island Maritime Museum starting at 8am!
Today’s best of show is a HEAP A’ HOT RODS at the PETE! WATCH… DROOL… EAT CAKE.
UPCOMING MOVIE CARS!! Duel, Deloreans, TJ Hooker and My Favorite Martian! (Ok, that’s a Spaceship, but whatever dood.)

VEGA$ T-BIRD BABY, Celebs, Rods and a Zany Zipster!
One of our favorite shows here in the Garage was VEGA$ with Robert Urich. If that show didn’t make you want to hit the SLOTS, SHOWS and SEXINESS that is Vegas, nothing did! So it was only a matter of time before Fireball sketched up THE RED THUNDERBIRD! Now as a MASTERPRINT and more…!
DID YOU KNOW?? Vega$ was an American crime drama television series starring Robert Urich that aired on ABC from September 20, 1978, to June 3, 1981, with the pilot episode airing April 25, 1978. It ran for five years, a total of 106 episodes aired over 5 seasons. In the final season, only 19 episodes of the originally-planned 22-episode season were filmed at the time the show was cancelled in 2008. The final episode ended with a cliffhanger with many issues left unresolved.
Also in today’s blast, another great shot from SOLDIER CON featuring Actor MARTIN KLEBBA (Pirates of the Carribean) in Billjohn and Merranda’s amazing DIECAST BOOTH! Plus, Fireball does up a blistering RAT ROD BUG, Bryce Canyon Rocket Tour ZANY ZIPSTER and the BUGATTI CHIRON! HOT, BABY, HOT!!
Today’s BEST OF SHOW is this Black on Black KUSTOM CHEVY IMPALA!! WATCH!

THE SAINT MASTERPRINT, M600 Mini, Rock n’ Roll & Maple Syrup!
Today, Fireball belts out a Classic with the 1967 VOLVO 1800 S from THE SAINT!!! A super cool MASTERPRINT and even a SHOT GLASS! Check it out IN THE GARAGE!
DID YOU KNOW?? Simon Templar was a Robin Hood-like figure known as “The Saint” – plausibly from his initials, but the exact reason for his nickname is unknown. The television series was broadcast by ITV in the UK between 1962 and 1969, and its overseas success made Moore a household name.
Plus, remember Fireball’s WORLD’S FASTEST MINI, the M600? It’s Vintage MINIBALL straight from Englishtown where they either broke records or BROKE AXLES!!! Also, a great SKETCH from the Wrench Nation Coloring Book featuring a sick Hot Rod from the James Hetfield Collection and finally… Fireball renders Billy Beluga’s Classic Truck doin’ it’s MAPLEWORKS! Another ZANY ZIPSTER!
Today’s BEST OF SHOW is this sweet HEMI HOT ROD spotted at SUPERCAR SUNDAY! WATCH NOW!

Happy Saturday, folks! Hope your day goes swimmingly, and to ensure it does… how about a BACK TO THE FUTURE CHEVY 3100 MASTERPRINT!!! It’s been an insane week post Soldier Con, as not only did Fireball get Food Poisoning… he kept SKETCHING!! BeastMode ACTIVATED!!
DID YOU KNOW?? Studio Exec Sid Sheinberg did not like the title “Back To The Future.” He sent a memo to Producers Zemeckis and Gale outlining his reasons, and asking to change it to “Spaceman From Pluto.” Luckily, producer Steven Spielberg stepped in and replied to Sheinberg’s memo… with one of his own that simply said: “Sid, thanks for your most humorous memo. We all got a big kick out of it. Thanks, Steven.”
Check out this great Soldier Con two-shot of famous Power Ranger ALYSON KIPERMAN-SULLIVAN and Fireball BEST OF SHOW Car Show Winner KATELYN RODELAS! Even her Pop won too!! Katelyn’s entry was a Custom Bike and boy, was it awesome!

BREAKING BAD, Tribbles, Cadillac Hot Rod & SHARKS!
FRIDAY, THE 13TH has always been a fun day here in the Garage, so let’s start it with a new BREAKING BAD HEISENBERG RV MASTERPRINT! Pretty sure this RV is still in the desert somewhere… or maybe in your back yard! (Smell anything?)
Also, in the aftermath of SOLDIER CON, great shots with stellar Artist HEATHER EDWARDS, some Trouble with TRIBBLES, Fireball’s PRIEST BIKE and epic COSPLAYERS! Plus, Fireball whipsnaps a CADILLAC HOT ROD and out of the Fireball University comes THE MANEATER!!
DID YOU KNOW?? The noises that the tribbles in Star Trek made were a combination of dove coos, screech owl cries, and air escaping from balloons. The pile of Tribbles near the end was actually created by gluing Tribble props around a large wire frame, which William Shatner then stood in the middle of to give the illusion of mass numbers.
Check out the Fireball Classic Vlog Episode below where he visits an ORIGINAL STAR TREK SET!! Jump to 1:56…
