DID YOU KNOW?? The 44 ft long LAND Vehicle was a fiberglass body on a 1971 Ford C-Series (C-700) cabover, by The Brubaker Group.

MUNSTERS, Celebs, Hockey, Fall Girl, Predators & SEMA Customs
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Has the After-Thanks FULL Food Thud hit you yet? Ug. But nothing makes you feel better than COOL CARS! And today… it’s MUNSTERS with and all-new MUNSTER KOACH MASTERPRINT! Check out the Monster Goods!
DID YOU KNOW?? The show was shot in black and white because the studio did not want to pay an extra $10,000 per episode for color. Cheap Bastards! But the Drag-U-La (Grandpa’s coffin car) was only built once by Barris. Many years after the show, it was hung from the ceiling in Planet Hollywood in Atlantic City, but now is located near Orlando, Florida. The interiors of the Munsters’ mansion were filmed on Stages 30 and 32 at Universal Studios. The set was often damaged by Herman’s tantrums…
Also in today’s DRAG-U-BLAST… Stunning Actor JESSICA CHASTAIN cruises Hollywood in this Flamed Bomb, Fireball at the HULL RANCH in Canada circa 1971 (Hockey Legend Bobby Hull. Son, Brett Hull can be seen tossing a Beer back… at 10 years old!), Fireball’s PREDATOR Concept circulated Hollywood as a potential for many films, but never built. The MiniWEINER wupses on the Freeway… guess there’s no BBQ tonight? The gorgeous HEATHER THOMAS from THE FALL GUY (1981-86) Series was a crowd favorite… and more amazing CARS of SEMA 2024!
And finally, another GARAGE EPISODE with this SHORTY RED CORVAIR!! Watch below!

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!

Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! What a month we’re having here in the Garage and to celebrate, here’s all-new MAD MAX INTERCEPTOR MASTERPRINT ART from the Ball! Explosive, Wicked, Cool and perfect for your Cave! But oh… there’s more!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Police Interceptor from MAD MAX started out as a standard white Cleveland V8, 351 cu. in. dual-overhead cam, 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Hardtop. The movie’s art director Jon Dowding designed the Interceptor and commissioned Melbourne-based car customizers Graf-X International to modify the GT Falcon. The second Interceptor was more tricked out than the original… with larger custom gas tanks. It was destroyed in Mad Max 2. Wups. The Interceptor used in the 2015 remake, Mad Max Fury Road, was built by the same person who restored the original car. It was also destroyed at the end of the movie. Are we seeing a pattern??
