Happy HUMP Day and WELCOME TO AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! So many cool things happening here at the Garage that we have to pinch ourselves with Engine Tongs! First up… ALL-NEW ART with the launch of DELOREAN RED STEEL! This was the Car designed for SEMA last year with TRW. And the only thing faster through time would be a CHEVY 3100 TIME MACHINE!! What would YOU have Fireball turn into a TIME MACHINE?? Check out the MUGS & PRINTS NOW!
DID YOU KNOW?? The iconic DeLorean Time Machine from “Back to the Future” was designed by a team, including Fireball Pals concept artist Ron Cobb, storyboard artist Andrew Probert, and special effects consultant Michael Fink, who helped shape the car’s look and the flux capacitor’s name. Cobb designed the car in a week, envisioning the interior as a professor’s secondhand parts store. Production Designer Larry Paull previously helped designed vehicles for “Blade Runner” and “Knight Rider” before working on the DeLorean for “Back to the Future.”
Today… on PLANET FIREBALL… Fireball has done many shows over the years for DISCOVERY, TLC, HISTORY & SPEED. Which one was your favorite? For us… it was “WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE RIDES!” But what’s next?? One thing is for sure… it’ll be some MONKEY BUSINESS!!!

FEATURED ARTIST today is this awesome original STAR WARS POSTER Concept by JOHN BERKEY. He and Fireball Pal TOM JUNG were tasked to create the VERY FIRST POSTER. The only thing that would have made this poster better?? A COOL CAR! Muhahahahaha!!

WICKED, Voyage, Dan Tanna, Moonraker & NEXT WHEELS & WAVES!
HAPPY ST. PADDY’S DAY from all of us here at The Fireball Tim Garage! It’s never been a better time to LOVE CARS & MOVIES! And seeing as how we all love AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE, let’s get started with some amazing Art from WICKED, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA & VEGAS.… Baby!!
DID YOU KNOW?? Dan Tanna, the private detective from the 1978 TV series “Vegas,” famously drove a flashy red 1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible, and the show used two different T-Birds, one for close-up shots and another for stunts. The “hero” T-Bird, used for close-up shots, was chosen for its pristine, unmodified condition, showcasing its classic looks. The other T-Bird was modified to withstand the demands of action sequences, including chase scenes and quick maneuvers. The 1967 yellow Corvette that Tanna drove in the pilot episode was destroyed by fire!
Also in today VEGAS TASSLE BLAST… WHEELS & WAVES is April 6th and we’re Celebrating Fireball’s Birthday! COME ONE, COME ALL!! Plus, March 30th, Fireball will be at the AUTISM ROCKS CAR SHOW in Ventura, too! Join us!

It had three moons, Ghomrassen, Guermessa, and Chenini. Tatooine orbits twin suns, Tatoo I and Tatoo II. According to Jawa folklore… the desert known as the Dune Sea was once a true ocean.

DID YOU KNOW?? Schwinn bikes have a rich history, from their beginnings as a family business to becoming an iconic American brand, with fun facts including the company’s shift to motorcycles and then back to bicycles. Ignaz Schwinn, a German-American bicycle designer, co-founded the Schwinn Bicycle Company in 1895 with Adolph Arnold. The iconic Schwinn Sting-Ray, with its high-rise handlebars, banana seat, and racing slick tire, was created in the 1960s, inspired by kids customizing their bikes to look like motorcycles. Hollywood stars like Dorothy Lamour became early ambassadors for Schwinn bikes, helping reestablish the brand as a market leader. The last U.S.-made Schwinn bike rolled off the production line in 1982.
Also in today’s GRAPE CRUSH BLAST… Fireball’s Car Shows bring the best people out (L2R, The late TONY DOW, Music Producer THOM PANUNZIO, the Ball, SoCal’s WES NIELSEN and “Talkin’ About Cars” Co-Host RANDY KERDOON!)

Before he was the Beaver, Jerry Mathers was Little Ricky on ‘I Love Lucy!’ Well, for one scene at least… An uncredited Mathers appeared on Lucy’s lap in “Ricky’s Old Girlfriend,” when she dreams that her husband has left her for his old squeeze, Carlota Romero. The two beg for money outside a theater, as Ricky and his new bride drop coins in their cups. The season-three episode aired in 1953, four years before Beaver kicked off!

PARTRIDGE, Penelope, Panther, Weapons, Ferrari & Magnus!!

DID YOU KNOW?? Penelope always has time to relax and worry about her looks, because her car is like a beauty parlor. Penelope Pitstop also has a habit of holding her arm out in the breeze to dry newly applied nail polish, which the others mistake for a turn signal (this habit once sent the Roaring Plenty into a cactus). *Joseph Barbera requested that a woman be added among the racers, so Takamoto and Jerry Eisenberg designed Penelope and her car in about two hours!!
Also in today’s PINKTACULAR BLAST… Fireball visited the home of Designer SYD MEAD many times over 40 years, and there were always cool things to see. On this day, it was an early prototype of Deckard’s Gun from BLADE RUNNER! Also, Fireball scootin’ the FAST & FURIOUS EVO #1 to shows… and now scoots THE BEAST through Ventura!!

MONKEES, Munsters, Mod Squad, McQueen’s Jag & DA PLANE!
Woo Hoo! It’s the weekend and that means HOOKEY… so Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Let’s slide right in with some great Fireball Art starting with THE MONKEES, MUNSTERS DRAGULA & MOD SQUAD!!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Monkees, initially a fictional band for the NBC sitcom “The Monkees,” became a huge pop sensation, selling more records than The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined in 1967. They gained recognition for their catchy songs and the band members eventually pushed for and gained more control over their music, including playing their own instruments. The Monkees’ very psychedelic and odd movie in 1968 was written by none other than actor Jack Nicholson. It was a flop at the box office and only made $16,000 despite the show’s fame. Nicholson later revealed that he wrote the screenplay while on acid… so that explains it.
Also on today’s HEY, HEY BLAST… Fireball’s got a lottsa friends in Hollywood, but the BEST are the STUNTMEN & WOMEN! And here’s Bruce Willis Stunt-Double STUART WILSON! Fall down, PICK UP CHECK! Also, this great shot of STEVE MCQUEEN and his 1956 XKSS JAGUAR inspired Fireball to whip that puppy into shape… the result? Check out THE AWESOME SKETCH and how it looks MUGGED!
COMMISSION PROJECTS! This past year, Fireball belted out sketches for TRW & SEMA, this great BOB’S BIG BOY SEMI & the BUICK GRAND NATIONAL. What could he do FOR YOU?? REACH OUT NOW! askfireball@fireballtim.com
