POLIZEI, Mach 3, Mugshots, Blade Runner, Celebs & MONSTERS!
Good morning, you DISASTEROUS DINGLEBERRIES and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! Let’s start the week out right with some EUROPEAN FIREBALL ART called DUB POLIZEI! This was remastered from an original Coloring Book and is now a MASTERPRINT. You guys want this one in the store?
THIS WEEK!! NEW ART from SPEED RACER, TRANSFORMERS, DUKES, ANIMAL HOUSE, FURIOUS & More!! Be sure to stay subscribed and see it all FIRST RIGHT HERE!
DID YOU KNOW?? VW Polizei Bugs (Beetles) were charmingly under-powered but functional German police cars, equipped with roof-mounted PA systems and front sirens, serving from the late 70s into the 90s, often sporting actual wear like cigarette burns, making them fun, nostalgic sights rather than high-speed interceptors. With less than 50 horsepower, highway chases were not their strong suit, making them more about presence and less about speed.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Vintage Snap with Fireball Pop and the 300hp MINI MACH 3 Mule… this would have been Speed Racer’s Grocery Getter! Nan’s STRANGER THINGS WAGON gets a MUG, DECKARD’S Cop Car from BLADE RUNNER gets a MASTERPRINT and GENTLEMEN RACER has his own Coloring Book fulla Classic Racers!

STRANGER THINGS ART, Hillbillies, Celebs, Herbie & Moose?
Good morning, you XEROXIN’ XANADU’S and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! Today, Fireball launches ALL-NEW STRANGER THINGS ART, being Nancy’s 1987 MERCURY COLONY PARK WAGON! Are you watching the show?? Well, this is one of the first cool classics you’ll see… and now IT’S IN THE GARAGE! CHECK IT OUT!
DID YOU KNOW?? Nancy Wheeler’s iconic wood-paneled Mercury Grand Marquis wagon in Stranger Things is a fan-favorite piece of 80s nostalgia, but it’s an anachronism (a 1987 model in 1986) and a symbolic “adult” car for teen characters, surprisingly surviving flayed Billy and becoming a key ride for epic rescues, embodying the show’s blend of family life and supernatural adventure. The spacious “woody” wagon becomes a central vehicle, a mobile command center for the kids and a symbol of parental authority, unlike the bikes the younger kids usually use.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball is hitting the ALTA DENA CARS & COFFEE tomorrow, so come say hi!! The BEVERLY HILLBILLIES ART is now ON ETSY, along with AIRWOLF! Fireball’s GERMAN CARS Coloring Book is perfect for some of those Euro Museums and German Tuning Shops, so SNAG A FEW or CONTACT US for Wholesale Prices!
CELEBRITY SNAP today with Actor DJIMON HOUNSOU (Blood Diamond, A Quiet Place, The Island, Gladiator)! Super cool guy and LOVES CARS!
DID YOU KNOW?? Walt Disney Studios contemplated not only a REMAKE of HERBIE (Fully Loaded), they pondered an idea involving Herbie’s Family! Fireball was contracted to bust a few sketches… and this was his Uncle… BEANIE 405. Sadly, the idea fell to the wayside, but would have been cool tho!
MORE ART!! Fireball’s BENEDICT CASTLE PEDAL CAR WINNER is Mugged, the Zany Zipster MOOSE JET is launching from CANADA, eh… The BERTONE LANCIA STRATOS ZERO lands on a TEE and a Ball original Concept for the film A CIVIL ACTION with John Travolta!
Today’s COOL RIDE is this LOWRIDER WAGON from THE VENTURA NATIONALS! It’s Taco Time, baby…
Make it a GREAT WEEKEND, folks! Get out there into the SUN!

Good morning, you KOOKALICIOUS KORNHOLES and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! We launch today through Classic TV, starting with Fireball’s DUKES OF HAZZARD ART! Yeehawww with tons more IN THE GARAGE!!!
DID YOU KNOW?? Although Fireball was only 14 when The Dukes of Hazzard launched in 1979, his folks were developing Series at Warner Bros and he spent many days on set watching as the Orange Charger flew through Hazzard’s Midwest Street. He also interviewed Show Creator Gy Waldron in Malibu. WATCH HERE! The Show primarily used the Warner Bros backlot in Burbank, Ca. for filming after its initial location shoots in Georgia, with the famous farmhouse and interiors shot on stages like Stage 28/28A, alongside the Walt Disnet Golden oak Ranch for some early California scenes.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball heads to PIXAR in San Francisco, ends up winning their GoKart Challenge! Johnny Approved EMERGENCY MUGS will soon be available at the LA COUNTY FIRE MUSEUM!! Go see the original Trucks! Adam 12’s PLYMOUTH will be expanding soon with a NEW MODEL in the Garage!

The new stuff IN THE GARAGE is awesome! Actually, this car was the Movie Version and more Speed is coming… so let’s get into it!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Mach 6 in the 2008 Speed Racer movie is an advanced T-180 class racer, a successor to the Mach 5 with biological suspension, a powerful Bernoulli Cenvergenerator engine, and upgraded gadgets like laser saws and auto-jacks, appearing early in the film before being destroyed and rebuilt for the final Grand Prix, proving its superiority to the GRX. Fun facts include its advanced tech, its T-180 designation (like an F1 car), the fact it was used before being wrecked, and its unique engine with a gas intake backup.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… A Vintage Snap of the Ball driving in SANTA’S VILLAGE circa 1968, the new LE GALLODROME FOOD TRUCK MUG is out (in badass Back to the Future Style), Fireball’s BLUEBIRD CONCEPT is unique and harbors Aquatastic Liquid 6 Metal Skin, MAGNUS WALKER ponders Fireball’s SKETCHES for his PORSCHE SOLARPUNK COLORING BOOK and NEW ART of the TRANSFORMERS BARRICADE MUSTANG!

GALLODROME ART, Droids, Bandit, Hillbillies, Gamera & Daisy!
What’s up, you GONADIAN GONADS and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! A unique day today (being New Year’s Eve!), we celebrate with a VERY interesting new Art Piece… THE LE GALLODROME FRENCH FOOD TRUCK! Now, Fireball’s french buddy Patrice came to visit from France and brought his Fireballness a T-Shirt with a version of this Food Truck on it. You’ll see it this week, but this inspired the Ball to SKETCH IT into the fold! Fries, anyone??
SHOUT OUT to the super cool french folks at LE GALLODROME!! Check out their French Swag, baby… and they’re now IN THE FIREBALL TIM GARAGE!
DID YOU KNOW?? The history of food trucks in the United States spans over 150 years (Early 1600’s-1800’s), evolving from horse-drawn wagons serving cowboys to gourmet mobile kitchens fueled by social media. The concept of mobile food predates motorized vehicles, starting with vendors and animal-drawn carts. Walter Scott, a vendor in Providence, Rhode Island, modified a covered wagon by cutting windows into it. He parked outside a newspaper office to sell sandwiches, pies, and coffee to late-night workers!
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Fireball & Kim hang out with DROIDS in Hollywood, Fireball launches a stunning BANDIT TRANS AM WATERCOLOR PRINT, the BEVERLY HILLBILLIES JALOPY gets the slammed and tuned treatment, NOSTALGIA STREET RODS MUSEUM get their own Coloring Book and Fireball SKETCHES like a Mutherfu^%$r!
Plus, CLASSIC CAR COMMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!! Get Fireball to SKETCH YOUR CAR like this gorgeous BERTONE LANCIA STRATOS and then brag ’til the AutoCows come home! (Not really sure what that means, but it makes for a good visual.) REACH OUT!!

HAPPY NEW YOUR, FOLKS! It’s our sincerest wish that you all have a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2026!

BATMAN ART, Diecast, Emergency, Classics, Zipsters & Celebs!
Good Morning, you FRAGGLED FRODERS and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! If this is your first go, GOOD ON YA! Today, we celebrate the coming of the New Year with tons of COOL ART! Major SKETCHES, WATERCOLORS, MOVIES & TV goodness is on the way from Fireball for 2026 and this is a great time to add AUTOPOP ART COOLNESS into your home! So let’s get started!!
First up is Fireball’s whipsnap of the BATMAN V SUPERMAN BATMOBILE ART which makes this his 8th BAT SKETCH! But which one should he do next? This new one is on MUGS, TEES, STICKS & CANVAS so you can turn your Batcave into a BAT GALLERY! And check out this Vintage Snap of Fireball in ’72 playing with Corgi’s and Dinky’s… Inspiration started EARLY!
ALL-NEW EMERGENCY WATERCOLOR PRINTS are now in the Garage! But there’s so much more coming for 2026! Which Movie or TV Car would YOU like to see as a Watercolor Print? Prints come in stunning 24×18 Framed Canvas and look awesome!!
Still more BatArt with Fireball’s BATMAN AND ROBIN Batmobile… and DID YOU KNOW?? This ’97 Bat was a wild, single-seater design inspired by Jaguars, featuring a Chevy engine, custom bat-tread tires, and a massive 33-foot length, while the classic 1966 version hid flaws with black velvet paint and used repurposed items like paint cans for its turbine, with Robin often holding on tight due to Adam West’s difficult driving. Both iconic rides had quirky realities: the ’97 model prioritized style over practicality, and the ’66 Batmobile was built in just three weeks with hilarious improvised parts like lawn sprinklers for oil slicks, making it a fun, flawed classic.
The Richard Erickson ANTIQUE & CLASSIC POWER MUSEUM now has their own Coloring Book full of their specific Collection! FTG is the only Company on the Planet doing the World’s Best Automotive Coloring Books featuring CAR MUSEUM Specific Collections, so how can we do one for YOUR Museum? REACH OUT! We can even do PRIVATE COLLECTIONS!
Here’s a Classic Pedal Car Piece below done for THE BENEDICT CASTLE CAR SHOW. Have you been to this one? One of the most awesome shows in Southern California!
Today’s Fireball ZANY ZIPSTER is the LOBSTER JET, in for repairs due to a bit of an Octopus Problem… But no worries, they’ll get it fixed.
And lastly, a great Vintage Snap of AUTOPOP Star ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY! DID YOU KNOW?? Elizabeth Montgomery, the iconic star of Bewitched, was a fan of luxury vehicles and was known to own several classic cars. Montgomery owned a 1977 Bentley T2 Saloon with the personalized license plate “BENTLIZ”. This car was part of her estate sale in 1999 and was still in the Los Angeles area as of a few years ago. She was the original owner of a 1958 Packard 58L and kept it for nearly 30 years, until 1987 and in addition to her luxury cars, her collection included a more practical 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, which was also offered at her estate sale for $4,000. During the first two seasons of Bewitched, Chevrolet was the primary sponsor of the show, and Chevrolet cars were frequently featured, with Montgomery appearing in integrated commercials for vehicles like the new Chevy II.
Today’s BEST OF SHOW?? Fireball spits his most Favorite MOVIE & TV Cars of all time. WATCH!
Have an awesome week, folks!

OMEGA MAN ART, Grinch, Classic, Stangs & Fighter Jet Polaris
What’s up, you ALPHA A-HOLIOS and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! We hope you all had a great Christmas… and to celebrate, it’s THE OMEGA MAN ART!! This one, the 1970 FORD GALAXIE XL from Charleton Heston’s 1971 Zombie-Killing film! Can you see what the Heston’s been cookin??’
DID YOU KNOW?? The Omega Man (1971) features Charlton Heston as the last immune man in a plague-ridden LA, filming in deserted downtown L.A. on Sundays, featuring an iconic interracial kiss with Rosalind Cash (who joked about kissing “Moses”), and uses a Christ-like sacrifice ending, all while being based on Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, a novel Heston loved. To create the deserted metropolis effect, scenes were shot in Los Angeles’s financial district on Sunday mornings when streets were empty, avoiding costly sets or CGI, which didn’t even exist at the time. The fortress Heston’s character (Dr. Neville) lived in was a backlot set at the Warner Bros. Ranch and was later demolished during redevelopment.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball converses with the legendary Grinch on GIFTS, The WHO’S and how to sneak into THEATERS. PLUS, COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN FOR 2026!! Get your Car SKETCHED and here’s how to do it!

DID YOU KNOW?? The 1960 Chrysler 300F was styled under the direction of legendary designer Virgil Exner, with significant contributions from engineer Robert MacGregor Rodger, known for integrating Exner’s “Forward Look” with engineering, resulting in unique space-age features like futuristic dashboards and swiveling seats, making it a powerful luxury performance car and early muscle car precursor.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Fireball spots this beautiful Blue CITROEN 2CV below and she’s even got her own IG! The ADAM 12 MUGSHOT is hittin’ it hard for the Holidays!

Nine stunt versions were built, but the “hero” car was the fully functional original.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball hangs with alter-Ego BATMAN, ponders the NEXT BAT-SKETCH, AUTOPOP Volume 1 & 2 are now available via Barnes & Noble with TONS & TONS of Movie & TV Car Art! *Want it in your Museum, Store or Hotel Giftshop?

FIRE!! Holidays, Ark 2, ATeam, Tony Dow & we lose GIL GERARD
Good morning, you SLITHERING STHUCKATASHES and welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! It’s hump-day and we celebrate with Fireball’s recent Commission for the LA CITY FIRE!! It’s a 1940’s AERIAL LADDER FIRETRUCK called LIGHTFORCE!! And it’s HOT!!
DID YOU KNOW?? 1940’s Aerial Ladder Trucks were often powerful, all-steel firsts (like Seagrave’s V-12s), featured unique designs, sometimes used as makeshift TVs with antennas for sports and transitioned from horse-drawn concepts to modern power. Though they lacked today’s safety features, relying on massive ground ladders and crew ingenuity, many were “tiller trucks,” needing two operators (a driver and a rear tiller) to steer the long rigs around tight city streets. These trucks bridged the gap between old horse-drawn methods and modern apparatus, proving aerials’ worth in major fires like Boston’s Cocoanut Grove in 1942.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Kim hands out Hot Wheels to kids at the recent 2025 HOLLYWOOD CHRISTMAS PARADE, the ARK II MUGSHOT is NOW AVAILABLE, B.A. Barakus’ A-TEAM VAN… SKETCHED, The Official TONY DOW (Leave it to Beaver) Celebrity Coloring Book is the full story and sadly… the world loses BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY’S Gil Gerard.
