ART EXHIBIT SUCCESS, Magnum, Magnus 277 & MORE
What’s up you QUARTERMASTERS of QWOOL and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Let’s start off with some all-new MAGNUM P.I. & MAGNUS WALKER 277 Garage Coolness! Brand New Swag, baby!
DID YOU KNOW?? Tom Selleck’s iconic Detroit Tigers cap from Magnum P.I. is now in the Smithsonian, and he famously passed on playing Indiana Jones due to his Magnum commitment. He performed his own stunts on the show, despite a recurring back condition, and used the series to bring a bit of his personality to the character, a sentiment echoed in his choice of the hat. His first wife, Jacqueline Ray, and second wife, Jillie Mack, both made guest appearances on the series!
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… SUCCESS at last night’s VISUALIZE VENTURA “ART OF CAR” Exhibit brought out several hundred guests from all over SoCal. Here’s few shots from the setup before the crowd arrived! More great shots coming, plus WONDERCON!!
NEW SKETCHES coming this week and a few surprises and Fireball heads to CALTECH next weekend for a talk with SCOUTS OF AMERICA!

NEW WEDNESDAY WAGON ART, Cars That Matter & Car Show Safari!
What’s up you EVIL EVISERATORS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! It’s a dark and scary one today with THE PONTIAC LIMOUSINE from the super hot TV Show WEDNESDAY!! Cool Mugs, Canvas and Tees are ready when you are!
DID YOU KNOW?? The limousine driven by Lurch in the Netflix series Wednesday is actually not a real vintage car but a custom build based on a much newer, more robust vehicle. They used the body of a 1938 Pontiac, which they stretched and modified, and placed it on the chassis and powertrain of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, or G-Wagon! This hybrid build gave them a vehicle that looked authentically gothic and pre-war but could reliably navigate the rugged, off-road filming locations in Romania. For the sake of production, the car was built with multiple removable parts. The license plate also reads “New Jersey,” a nod to Addams Family creator Charles Addams, who was born and raised there.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… New Episodes of CARS THAT MATTER with Robert Ross are appearing on IG & FB now, but hit Fireball’s FB Page to watch the latest covering the movie car from “GREASE!” A snap of the Ball and Kim hitting the Rails at Sunburst in Santa Paula, Lady Penelope’s Pink Beauty Art from THUNDERBIRDS and VISUALIZE VENTURA is this Saturday Night!
Lastly, an all-new episode of CAR SHOW SAFARI hits with the boys chatting Ventura Nationals, this weekend’s SHOWS, NEW MOVIES & LILY!! Man, we looooove Lily…

FIREBALL PRODUCES NEW FILM, Count Chocula & Flintstones!!
What’s up you SLABBOURIOUS SISSIES and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! JUST ANNOUNCED!! Fireball’s got a new film coming out called “GIMMEE MY MONEY” to which he is Executive Producing with amazing Producer Shari Hamrick. And it’s an awesome 80’s-Style Action Flick! The Trailer will be premiering at this weekend’s VISUALIZE VENTURA EVENT! Press Release coming soon and it all starts at 6pm, so don’t miss it!
DID YOU KNOW?? The 1980s revolutionized action films with a reliance on practical effects and new technologies, creating influential movies like Die Hard and Predator. Stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Harrison Ford rose to prominence, while films like Raiders of the Lost Ark pushed the boundaries of the genre. The decade also saw the rise of influential subgenres and the lasting impact of special effects, though digital effects remained in their infancy.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… revisiting some of Fireball’s CARS today from THE FLINTSTONES, BATMAN and a fun new SUPERHOME! This one… is Fireball Superhome #5 south of DTLA… on a hill… well, actually there’s no hill there unless you’re wearing the special Fireball INVISORAY GLASSES! If you have a pair of those, then you’ll see the turnoff to head up there! Property includes 6 SubLevel Garages for 26 vehicles, Salt Water Amino Acid Pool and and ICECuzzi with a Dynamatic ExpandoKitchen. (Kinda like the Kitchen in the Jetsons and BTTF mixed together.) Palm Trees are actually Rocket Silo Ports (Non-Functional right now, but cool.) Oh, and a Pantry full of 22 Vintage Cereals!! Yum.
Have you purchased one of Fireball’s Canvas Prints? Live in SoCal? Bring it to a show and he’ll Scribblebedoo on it!! Check out the SCHEDULE!
COUNT CHOCULA MUGSHOTS ARE IN!! And they’re frikkin’ bloody awesome! Snag one, fill it fulla Cereal and have at it! Also, check out Fireball’s rendition of Ken Okuyama’s KODE 61 CONCEPT and the KNIGHT RIDER 2030 ART! So cool!
Have a great week, folks!

NEW MISTER ROGERS, Events, Diecast, Jeanie, Jetsons & Barris
What’s up you STELLAR STOOGES and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Let’s head across town on Fireball’s all-new MISTER ROGERS NEIGHBORHOOD TROLLEY Art!! And of course, (as most things here in the Garage…) it’s been Hot Rodded!
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? The original Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood trolley was handcrafted in 1967 by Bill Ferguson for the Canadian program “Mister Rogers” and later served as the iconic trolley for “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” Mister Rogers was inspired to include a trolley by his childhood, having ridden trolleys with his father. Children wrote to him asking why no people were on the trolley, which he explained was to encourage them to visualize themselves riding it. The trolley traveled about 5,000 miles a year, and the actual trolley is now a permanent exhibit at the Fred Rogers Center in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… So many events coming between now and the Holidays! And Fireball is GO, GO, GO!! Up next is tomorrow’s VENTURA NATIONALS at the Ventura Fairgrounds, so look for his Cowboy Hat as he peruses over 5000 Cars including Hot Rods, Rat Rods, Trucks, Muscle, Lowriders and MORE! Plus, THE HOT WHEELS LEGENDS TOUR is coming too!
Today’s MUGSHOTS include “I DREAM OF JEANIE” and some of our BEST SELLERS! Just TYPE YOUR FAVE in the SEARCH! And be sure to check out this Classic BEST OF SHOW Episode with KUSTOMIZER GEORGE BARRIS on Facebook!
See ya at the show, folks!!
ALL-NEW AUTOPOP ART, Shows, French Fries, Bazooka & More!
What’s up you RIDICULOUS ROH ROH’S and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! It’s a crazy time here in the Garage with Art and Fireball’s been bustin’ out the Badassery! Today, he launches TWO NEW PIECES with THE BATMAN V SUPERMAN BATMOBILE and the 1971 Chevy Nova from Quenten Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF!! Both now in the Garage on Mugs, Canvas and Tees! Let the Battles begin…
DID YOU KNOW?? The Death Proof Chevy Nova was a heavily modified 1971 model built to withstand extreme damage, featuring a roll cage, racing seat, and a powerful 383 stroker engine, making it a true stunt car despite its deceptive appearance. While the matte-black car with its signature skull graphic became Stuntman Mike’s iconic vehicle, only one Nova was used for close-ups and chasing, with other cars being destroyed in stunts or used for parts. After filming, the primary “picture car” was sold to Kurt Russell’s stunt driver, who then gave it to his son as a first car. Wait, what??
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Be sure to check out Fireball’s upcoming SCHEDULE to see where he’ll be next! But here he is with superfan GILLIGAN (Two-Shirt Tommy’s Lil Buddy!), a great shot of HEATHER LOCKLEAR from what show? Car Show Master SPENCER SEIBOLD will be making Pancake Bacon Sandwiches at the upcoming VISUALIZE VENTURA Car & Art Show… featuring 5 Automotive Titans like PEP WILLIAMS!
Plus, Fireball, Tommy and Mark Stehrenberger hit BUNNIN CHEVROLET in Fillmore for a bite and Mark pulls some extra Fries! Did they realize who was having lunch there?? Legend. And lastly… Fireball Squeeze KIM continues to make Car Shows more Glam with amazing Smiles! Need to feel REALLY GOOD? Visit KIM here at THE DAY SPA!
ON DECK EVENTS for September Q3 includes so many shows! VENTURA NATIONALS is this Saturday, VISUALIZE VENTURA is the 6th, CALTECH is the 13th, ART CENTER CAR CLASSIC on the 28th (Watch the episode on Facebook!) and the LOS ANGELES HOT WHEELS CONVENTION & LEGENDS TOUR is October 1-5!

GONE IN 60, Gort, Concepts, Santa, Legends, Books & Grease!
Howdy you NINKUMPOOP NUMBNUTS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! We start off with an all-new GONE IN 60 SECONDS Fireball Masterprint, with a little follow-up destruction by GORT!! You remember Gort? He was the original Cylon… only he didn’t know it. 😉
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? Gort was loosely inspired by the character “Gnut” from the short story “Farewell to the Master” by Harry Bates. He was portrayed by Lock Martin, a 7’7″ tall actor and wore a thick foam-rubber suit, painted with aluminum to give it a metallic appearance. Two Gort suits were created to achieve a seamless metallic look on screen. One had fasteners in the back for front-facing shots, and the other had fasteners in the front for shots of Gort walking away. Lifts were incorporated into the suit’s boots to make him appear even taller… and Prisms were used to allow Martin to see out of the helmet’s visor, as it extended nearly a foot above his head!! Air holes were also provided under the robot’s chin for breathing.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… We celebrate a BEST OF SHOW with John Zimmerman’s 1947 Pickup, discover Fireball’s Secret Florida Pad hidden deep in the Everglades, scoot back to 1969 where Fireball raced his first car on the Track in Santa’s Village in Arrowhead! PLUS, at the LA Auto Show with GENE WINFIELD, scramblin’ shenanigans with WRENCH NATION’S Frank Leutz (Have you picked up the Coloring Book, yet??) and peruses awesome rides with Chef Lawrence Flinton and Ted Coleman!
Always something new coming out of the Garage, but be sure to scoop up the latest CUSTOM MUSEUM COLORING BOOKS!! What would YOUR CUSTOM BOOK look like?? Reachout!!
And lastly… some GREASY COOLNESS! Check it out in the Garage NOW!

The car is built on a custom-made aluminum frame and chassis by Coddington. It’s powered by a 350ci Chevy engine with a three-deuce carburetor setup and a Powerglide transmission.

DID YOU KNOW?? The Sandcrawler’s design was initially inspired by a NASA rover designed for exploring alien planets. The one seen in “STAR WARS” was only 2 feet long, with clever camera work creating the illusion of its massive size. The final design was completed on April 5, 1975.

DID YOU KNOW?? The police cars in Demolition Man were actually the 1992 GM Ultralite concept car. The Ultralite was built with a carbon fiber body to be lightweight and achieve impressive fuel economy, reportedly around 100 miles per gallon! General Motors provided 18 of its driveable concept cars, including the Ultralite, for the film’s production and to create the impression of a police force, over 20 fiberglass replicas were built for filming. It featured distinctive full-length gullwing doors, allowing easy access to both front and back seats simultaneously, and while the original Ultralite concept was silver… it was painted in the classic black and white police livery for the film.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Fireball peruses Dom’s CHARGER from “Fast & Furious” that they build at CVS for the first film, scoots the GOODYEAR BLIMP with Actor DENISE CROSBY (Star Trek/Ray Donovan), the INGLIS CLASSICS CAR SHOW is coming in August and it’s gonna be EPIC, Fireball & Kim with a Vintage HupMobile at a show in Santa Barbara, the Cast of SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON TV Classic (Written by Fireball Pop, Anthony Lawrence!!) and ON SET with the original ADAM 12!!
