MIAMI VICE, Celebs, Movie Cars, Outlaws, Smooches & SEMA!
Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Now for a trip to the Gray Bar Motel with an all-new MIAMI VICE FERRARI TESTAROSSA MASTERPRINT! We’re you a fan of these stylistically dresses cops? We bet you were… and now you can GET THIS AMAZING ART for YOUR GARAGE!
DID YOU KNOW?? The car driven by Don Johnson’s character, Sonny Crockett, was a white 1986 Ferrari Testarossa with a 4.9-liter, 390 horsepower flat-12 engine and a 5-speed manual tranny. The car was in storage after the show was canceled in 1989 and emerged again in 2015. 26 years!! It was then authenticated by Ferrari Classiche and Ferrari of North America. The car was offered at auction with no reserve… and sold for $151,800. Ferrari filed a lawsuit against the show’s crew for trademark infringement, but as a solution… Ferrari donated two new Testarossa Monospecchios to the show. ChaChing!

FUTURE KNIGHT, Partridge, Pinup MUSCLE & Fireball RESIGNS
Like most things that happen in the FALL, CHANGE is in the air here at the FTG, so let’s start with Fireball’s FUTURE KNIGHT MASTERPRINT depicting Knight Rider’s movement into an uncertain future world where TECH is KING… and talking cars just aren’t enough. Should they make it??
DID YOU KNOW?? K.I.T.T. originally stood for “Trans Am Two Thousand” (T.A.T.T.) because the car was based on the Pontiac Trans Am. The red lights on the front of K.I.T.T. were inspired by the “eye” on the Cylons’ ship in Battlestar Galactica.
Also in today’s K.I.T.TASTIC BLAST… Screen Legend Glam KATHRYN HEPBURN wasn’t all about fuddy duddiness, Fireball says GOODBYE to MALIBU ARTS COMMISSION, resigning from Chairman to spend more time bringing you COOL CARS from HOLLYWOOD, the PARTRIDGE FAMILY heads to another Concert, an amazing PINUP SHOT from SnapArtist Carrie Hampton, Fireball’s BUICK GRAND NATIONAL with the Real Deal, a ’54 VETTE snap from CONEJO VALLEY CARS & COFFEE and…

Fireball heads to SEMA, HERBIE, Jeannie & Hockey LEGEND…
HAPPY SUNDAY, folks! Hope your day is goin’ swimmingly! Let’s start off in the blast with a Classic Disney-esque HERBIE THE LOVE BUG MASTERPRINT! This Fireball Canvas Print evokes some of those foggy San Francisco nights where Herbie got lost in the streets. Stunning! Were you a fan of the original DUB? We were… CHECK IT OUT!!
DID YOU KNOW?? Herbie’s number ’53’ was chosen by producer Bill Walsh who was a fan of Baseball Player Don Drysdale. Don’s number was 53… and Dean Jones, the actor who played main character Jim Douglas, snuck in another appearance in the same film as another character. Can you spot him??
Fireball is off to SEMA LAS VEGAS tomorrow, so no blogging until next Saturday. But tons of Social from the show and be sure to watch CAR SHOW SAFARI LIVE each day at 2-3pm on Facebook to get a glimpse of the show! EPIC!!

In today’s Fireball Episode… this stunning FERRARI F40 was a poster on every kid’s wall. But now, they’re ‘53 BUICKS.

COLUMBO JUST ONE MORE THING, Celebs & Slammed Trucks
Fireball Tim Garage is Automotive Pop Culture TV & Film at it’s best… and today we celebrate with COLUMBO!! This PEUGEOT 503 MASTERPRINT and MORE is now in the Garage featuring the man who always said…“Just one more thing…” Snag one to feature in YOUR GARAGE!
DID YOU KNOW?? When fans heard Lieutenant Columbo’s trademark phrase “just one more thing…” we knew he’s about to crack the case wide open. The unconventional detective, played brilliantly by Peter Falk, first appeared on our screens in 1968. But it wasn’t until in the 1971 episode “Dead Weight” that the detective flashed his badge and a closeup revealed that the gumshoe’s first name was in fact… Frank.
Also in today’s BLAST… Fireball snaps with ALEXANDRA PAUL from the Horror film CHRISTINE, pumps a new SON OF THE MASK upcoming MASTERPRINT, hits the last SANTA PAULA CRUISE NIGHT of the Season and asks… “Why are some POLICE MOVIE CARS so lame??”
Today’s BEST OF SHOW?? A RATTED COOL CHEVY C10 from CRUISIN FOR A CURE!

New KOJAK, Bosozoku and the STEAM NUTTER hit the Garage…
Today’s Blast launches with an all-new KOJAK MASTERPRINT featuring Telly Savales’ BUICK CENTURY NYC Police Cruiser from the show! And if you didn’t think the series was all that popular…
DID YOU KNOW?? Kojak was Queen Elizabeth’s favorite TV show by the time the late British monarch met Savalas at a 1976 state dinner thrown by then-U.S. President Gerald Ford. “Certainly, the royal family are keen television watchers,” a British Embassy spokesperson told The Washington Post in 1983. But in 1978, CBS canceled Kojak amid faltering ratings. The actor however reprised the role in two TV movies for CBS — 1985’s “The Belarus File” and 1987’s “The Price of Justice” — and five more for ABC. And Kojak was even bumped up to inspector status!
Also in today’s blast is some BOSOZOKU love with Fireball’s Jakarta Sketch, BEST OF SHOW shots from last weekend’s CAMARILLO CRUISE-IN and another Wacky Sketch from the Master… THE STEAM NUTTER! (Check out all of ’em so far on Pinterest!) How else do you think they get those Nuts off??
BEST OF SHOW?? A super gorgeous 1925 ROLLS ROYCE gets discovered by the Mayor of Malibu, Paul Grisanti.
Fireball is in full swing now with CAR SHOW SAFARI, ART TALK LIVE and WHEELS & WAVES… only 1 week away!!

Fireball designs 2nd epic SEMA CAR as BRONCO AMERICANA…
Off the heels of the DARK DRAGON MUSTANG being built by Texas-based builder Carlos Molina of PROJEKT CARS comes Fireball’s 2nd design, THE BRONCO AMERICANA for Vanguard Offroad. Horse SKETCH by Master Illustrator Heather Edwards of DOG & DRAGON, a variation of this truck will be in Vanguard’s booth (if all goes well) at SEMA for the show in Vegas starting in November.
The Bronco will feature a host of parts from Vanguard (Fireball and Heather may be there to SKETCH & SIGN, but as you know, things are up in the air until the fat cow sings,) but Fireball’s designing 4 cars at the moment with a potential of a few more. All built by PROJEKT CARS. More to come… but check out the store now for this HOT BRONCO AMERICANA!
Also in today’s blast… WHEELS AND WAVES is only 2 weeks away and word on the street is that it’s going to be EPIC! Keep in mind, this is a Cars & Coffee from 8-10am, but the sheer amount of CUSTOM CARS on the way is wild, many coming from THE VENTURA NATIONALS and as far south as San Diego!. Will you be there at The Channel Islands Maritime Museum??
At the Santa Barbara AUTO EXPO, Fireball gets a shot with superfan, pal and Wellness Expert JENNIFER MCDOUGALL and the infamous Dr. Pepper! What’s more Americana than a Car Show on the grass in the California Sun!
Today’s BEST OF SHOW is this Classic BADASS BLACK LINCOLN! Yes… coming to Wheels and Waves, baby… WATCH!
