And Exclusively for today, Fireball busts out the original GM MOTORAMA FIREBIRD 3! Check it out and know that 10% ALWAYS goes to Dog Rescues!
DID YOU KNOW?? The GM Firebird 3 (a Motorama concept car from 1959) was a futuristic vehicle inspired by jet fighters with features like a gas turbine engine, a joystick for controls, and numerous automated systems. It included a double-bubble canopy, a fiberglass body, retractable air brakes and an ultra-sonic key to open doors. Despite its radical design, some of its advancements influenced later GM production cars, and its name was later adopted for the Pontiac pony car series. It also included an automated guidance system that could follow a wire embedded in the road. Designed by Harley Earl, the Firebird 3’s design was heavily influenced by aircraft, with features like multiple fins and a wind-tunnel-tested body.
Have a great weekend, folks!
MIAMI VICE, Jag, Hearse, Lucas Museum & NEW CAR SHOW SAFARI!
Good morning you EPIDEMICAL ENIS’ and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! Cars, Swag & News! Let’s get this popstand pumpin’ with Fireball’s MIAMI VICE TESTAROSSA ART! Smack this link and CHECK OUT THE MUGSHOT! The PERFECT GIFT for lovers of NOSTALGIC BADASSERY!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Miami Vice Testarossa was originally black but was repainted white for better visibility in night scenes. Ferrari gifted two black Testarossas to the show after the production’s use of a black Daytona kit car led to trademark infringement claims, and a third, silver Testarossa was gifted to Don Johnson by Enzo Ferrari as a thank you. The original show car was so iconic that it was stored for decades after the series ended, and it still has only 16,500 miles on it.

TRANSFORMERS ART HITS, Bat89, BMW M, TBirds & Blade Runner
Good morning you WEIRDO WACKERS and welcome to today’s super cool AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE and we start out with ALL NEW ART!! Today, Fireball busts out BUMBLEBEE from TRANSFORMERS!! This sketch is his 2500th and it’s now IN THE GARAGE as MUGSHOTS & CANVAS! Keep your Collection ROCKIN!’
DID YOU KNOW?? The Transformers “Bumblebee” Camaro is a fictionalized version of Chevrolet Camaros from the Transformers movies, which are often heavily customized with specific performance parts for filming. The movie’s version was often different from the real-world versions of the Camaro and the character’s vehicle mode changed depending on the movie. The car’s distinctive design was created by a team of engineers and artists who built the cars for the film. Four of the Transformers Camaros were sold at auction for a combined total of $500,000, with the proceeds going to Operation Homefront.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball peruses the Pete’s VAULT and discovers his BAT89 sleeping. Shhh… Also, today’s FEATURED MUGSHOT is the stunning 2025 BMW M4 COUPE! Grab it for your Collection or check out HUNDREDS MORE in the GARAGE HERE!
While on Safari, Fireball spots this Classic KUSTOM T-BIRD. What a beauty! And speaking of Safari… an ALL NEW Episode of CAR SHOW SAFARI will be out tomorrow! Be sure to Friend up Fireball ON FACEBOOK here and WATCH!
Today’s MOVIE POSTER ART is this Nostalgic BLADE RUNNER by DREW STRUZAN! A stellar Iconic piece… Drew Struzan’s iconic Blade Runner poster was initially rejected in 1982 but was finally completed and used for the film’s director’s cut over 20 years later at the request of director Ridley Scott. The original artwork for the theatrical release was never finished, but Struzan updated the 20-year-old concept with new artwork for The Final Cut. The final poster features Harrison Ford as Deckard, with the use of color contrasts and futuristic, neon imagery to capture the film’s themes.
On today’s BEST OF SHOW!! Check out these episodes… The Futuristic APTERA SOLAR CAR, a 1958 FULL CUSTOM VETTE and a cruise through the GALPIN MUSEUM!
That’s all for now, folks! See you FRIDAY and get busy havin’ fun!

VANISHING POINT ART, Fireball Jag, Battle Bugs & The Thing!
Good morning you QUANTIFIABLE QUIRKS and welcome to today’s vanishing AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! NEW ART!! Fireball busts out the 1970 DODGE CHALLENGER from the film VANISHING POINT!! This movie made MOPAR a STAR!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Vanishing Point Challenger was a real 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, not a specially modified movie car, and was chosen for its powerful 440 engine and strong torsion bar suspension. Its white color was a practical choice to stand out in desert landscapes, not for symbolic meaning. Chrysler loaned five cars to the production for the film and while the film hints it was supercharged, it wasn’t, and the car used for the final bulldozer crash was an explosives-rigged 1967 Camaro pulled by a Challenger. Wups.
The VP MUGSHOT is out and it’s GLORIOUS! And remember, COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY OPEN so you can get Fireball to do YOUR CAR, too! Here’s how…
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball out and abooot in this Classic Jag… And although Ferrari said “it was the most beautiful car ever designed,” the faces on those you pass as you drive will tell it all! PLUS, Fireball hits the GALPIN SHOW and reveals a BATTLE BUG! More shots coming this week of the show!
***NEWSFLASH!! Fireball has signed with THE STATIK TALENT AGENCY to be represented for COMIC CONS, EVENTS & MORE! Check out the PRESS RELEASE HERE!
Today’s MOVIE POSTER ART is THE THING by DREW STRUZAN! A Classic piece that was done at lightning speed…. It was created in a single, rushed day without studio references and depicts a mysterious figure with light bursting from its face… which doesn’t accurately represent the movie’s shapeshifting monster but captures the film’s sense of dread and paranoia. The paint was so wet upon delivery that it stuck to the glass it was being transported in!!
MORE BEST OF SHOW EPISODES!! Watch THE SCYTHE, Bonkers PATRIOT HUMMER and a First Glance at THE GALPIN SHOW!! Have an awesome week, folks!!

CADILLAC MAX ART, STCMini, Gramps, Sleds & CANNONBALL!
What’s up you FRIDAY FORNICATORS and welcome to today’s Wasteland AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! I rarely do this, but sometimes… you just gotta SKETCH someone’s CREATION! And today, it’s the CADILLAC MAX by GoKart Mozart! MUGGED!! Check out his other DIECAST CREATIONS here…
DID YOU KNOW?? The Gigahorse from Mad Max: Fury Road is a massive vehicle made from two stacked 1959 Cadillac bodies, powered by a functional 1,200-horsepower V16 engine from two linked Chevy big-block V8s. It weighs 10.5 tons, uses giant tractor tires, and features weaponry like a flamethrower and harpoon gun, but its real-world top speed was limited to about 60 mph, requiring trickery for filming. The working engine was an upgrade from the original plan of using dummy motors to simulate a powerful engine.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball stands with Builder ANDY LIMON at the Pete next to the STC MINI. Andy was resp0onsible for the build of the SONY SOUNDROVER that’s parked in the back. He was a big cheese at Northrop Grumman and made that lil’ beast run like a top! Also, STINKY GRAMPS Car Air Fresheners are IN THE GARAGE!! Yikes! And yes, it’s real, yo. And it makes a great GIFT to those who forget to clean their cars… which are most of you GRAMPS out there!!
Check out this stunning MERC SLED from Ventura Nationals… and THAT PAINT!! Plus, Fireball Coloring Books are nearly 50 now! Check out what’s IN THE STORE and stock up for the Holidays!
Today’s MOVIE POSTER ART is “CANNONBALL RUN” by Drew Struzan! Although we just lost him, he leaves behind a tremendous POP CULTURE Legacy.
NO SHOWS this weekend, DUE TO RAIN! But check out today’s BEST OF SHOW Episodes! Angelyne’s Destroyed CORVETTE, ALFA ROMEO GUILIETTA and a Twin Turbo Callaway ALFA!

Plus, scroll a bit further and you’ll discover the ALL-NEW FIRETRUCK MUGSHOT, baby!! Keep your Collection rollin’ with this super cool RESCUE… and then get out there and make the World Awesome!
DID YOU KNOW?? The “Engine 51” in the TV show Emergency! was filmed at a real Los Angeles County Fire Station in Carson, California… which was Station 127. Today, the station is named the Robert A. Cinader Memorial Fire Station after the show’s producer and still operates today. The actual vehicles, Squad 51 and Engine 51, are now preserved and can be seen at the Los Angeles County Fire Museum. The station was chosen for its south-facing orientation, which was good for natural light. The show used different engines to represent Engine 51 throughout its run. The first was a 1965 Crown Firecoach, but later a 1973 closed-cab Ward LaFrance was used.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball spots the glistening silver original ASTON MARTIN DB5 at the Pete, ponders taking a Martini Spin, NEW ART with a Tooned MASERATI QUATTROPORTE, CHRISTINE is in the Vault at the Pete and someone better throw away the KEY.

Garner did much of the stunt driving, the series was inspired by the Western series MAVERICK and a scene in a Sopranos episode features the theme music from The Rockford Files.

BAT 66, Vintage Hot Rod, Woodie Parade & NEW COLORING BOOK!
Good morning you WEIRDO WAGGLERS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! We hit this Friday like a KAPOW with Fireball Classic Cool 1966 BAT ART! Check it out on Mugs, Canvas & Tees… and even a COZY BLANKY!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Batmobile was built from a one-off 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, which originally cost Ford an estimated $250,000 to hand-build in Italy. Some “gadgets” were made from everyday items; the “jet engine” was a 5-gallon paint can, and the functioning oil slick sprayers were made from lawn sprinklers. The original Futura engine and transmission had problems during filming, including overheating and battery issues. They were later replaced with a more reliable Ford Galaxie engine and transmission. The car was initially painted a dull gray, but Barris repainted it with 40 coats of high-gloss black paint with “fluorescent cerise” (orange/red) stripes to make it “pop” on screen.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball hits CONEJO VALLEY CARS & COFFEE, spots Timmy McDougall’s Vintage Hot Rod! PLUS, December 14th brings the 22ND ANNUAL MALIBU CHRISTMAS WOODIE PARADE down PCH for a Paaaarteyyyy!! Watch out for the cars! THIS WEEKEND… look out for the Ball at THE GALPIN CAR SHOW!!

EMERGENCY, Auction, Blankies, Rudolph & New Car Show Safari!
What’s up you FOOLISH FARTOLOGISTS and welcome to today’s EMERGENCY AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! And to celebrate, it’s Mantooth Time with Fireball’s SQUAD 51 ART! What’s a Fartiologist, you ask? Well, it’s a stinky job, but someone has to do it…
DID YOU KNOW? Emergency! was a TV show that inspired real-life paramedic programs, and its production featured a real fire station and a family affair with actors. The real Station 127 in Carson, CA, was used for external shots, and the show’s call sign, KMG365, is still a valid FCC license for the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) station. Actor Julie London and her husband Bobby Troup were married during the show’s run, and producer Jack Webb (Adam 12) was London’s ex-husband. While the interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage, the actual vehicles, Squad 51 and Engine 51, have been preserved and are now on display at the LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE MUSEUM and in the early years of the series, actors Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth performed many of their own stunts.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Tomorrow is the JULIEN’S AUCTION at the Petersen Museum! Tons of James Bond and Pop Culture items are being auctioned including Fireball’s STREET TUNER CHALLENGE MINI. And for a car with only 32 miles on the ODO… and about a $100K in Mods, IT’S A STEAL!
NEW SWAG!! EMERGENCY BLANKIES are in the Garage for those upcoming Cold Winter Nights along with SQUAD 51 Mugshots for Cocoa! Want a Blankie with another car? Reach out and TELL US!
Perusing Ventura for Winter Wonderswag, Fireball enlists the help of friends. Can you NAME THEM??
SPOTTED! This weird and wonderful 70’s KUSTOM was built off of a ’73 Lincoln. And it’s Pimpin’ Funkadelic! But would you paint it a different color??
And lastly… an ALL-NEW CAR SHOW SAFARI Episode is up! Watch it on Fireball’s Facebook and give LILY a Heart!

HOLIDAY HOT ROD, 70’s, Ecto, Maybelline & I Dream of Jeannie
Good Day you HOLIDAY HORNDOGS and welcome to today’s 1st Holiday Blast of AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Here in the garage, it’s a HOT ROD, HOOLIGANS and the Best Dang Automotive Art on the Planet! Just for YOU! Fireball’s got NEW ART DAILY, MUGSHOTS & Holiday ADVENTURES lined up and coming your way! Stick with us!!
DID YOU KNOW?? Santa’s Sleigh originated from a combination of Dutch, Scandinavian and Norse traditions, but was cemented in modern lore by Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” The poem famously described a miniature sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen… who enabled Santa to travel the world in a single night. Norse God THOR’s chariot, pulled by two magical goats, was one potential influence on the idea of a flying, gift-giving figure propelled by magical animals. In the 19th century, a small children’s book published in 1821 contained the first illustration of Santa with reindeer, a precursor to Moore’s more famous version. Only question is… was one of the Reindeer named “V8?”
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball discovers an unusual 70’s Custom built over a ’73 Lincoln Town Car in the 805. What’s the story? There was no one around to tell it! But boy, was it weird. PLUS, Fireball’s NEW 2026 CALENDARS are in for the Holidays and there’s more coming! Snag one and we’ll GIVE TO POOCHES!
After a screening at SONY, Fireball spots the original ECTO 1 on the lot. Nobody’s looking, so maybe a spin is in order?? And don’t forget to check out the MUGSHOT!
COLORING BOOKS are gettin’ a NEW ONE THIS WEEK! What is it? Well, it’s for an awesome Car Museum in Nashville and it’s EPIC! Stay tuned and until then, enjoy this SKETCH of Gene Winfield’s MAYBELLINE!
And lastly, Fireball’s heading back to Hollywood for the 2025 Christmas Parade and that means a visit to the Hollywood Museum to pay homage to JEANNIE! Join us right here on the Blog as he hit’s his TINSLE-TOWN ADVENTURE!
