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!!

HAWAII 5-O, Corky, SEMA REVEAL, Classics & Marianne!
AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE is vast here at the FTG… and today’s no different starting with Fireball’s HAWAII 5-O MERCURY MASTERPRINT! Jack Lord whipped this baby around the Islands to put an end to Crime… and they shuddered when they saw him coming. TAKE A PEEK!
DID YOU KNOW?? The term “Five-0” is a slang term for the police. The nickname comes from Hawaii being the 50th state to join the union. While it’s not accurate, the nickname became popular with fans and is still used today. JACK LORD lived in Beverly Hills when he was asked at the last minute to read for the part of McGarrett. He read for it on Wednesday, flew to Hawaii on Friday, and was in front of the cameras the following Monday!!
Also on today’s HULA-HOOPIN’ BLAST… Fireball snaps with CORKY COKER at SEMA, On Set for ESCAPE FROM LA with the Copter he designed for the film, Island Girl MARY ANN from GILLIGAN’S ISLAND was a fan favorite, FIRST SHOT of Fireball’s new SEMA MUSTANG CONCEPT built by PROJEKT CARS and with a Dragon by HEATHER EDWARDS!

FIREBALL CORVAIR MONZA, SEMA, Hotness, AMC & JDM Episode!
Let’s wrap up a SUCCESSFUL WEEK with some Classic Coolness! How about an all-new 1965 CHEVY CORVAIR MONZA for the Corvair Enthusiasts? PLUS… Check out the awesome new CORVAIR AT ANY SPEED TEE! This was Tony Dow’s Favorite Car! WATCH US DO THE SPIN!
DID YOU KNOW?? The CORVAIR was the first mass-produced American car with a turbocharged engine. The 1962 Spyder was one of the first vehicles in the US to offer factory turbocharging and it was the first GM car to feature unibody construction with welded front fenders! In his 1965 book “Unsafe at Any Speed,” consumer activist Ralph Nader criticized the Corvair’s swing-axle rear suspension, claiming it made the car more prone to rollovers. However… the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration later found no such handling problems. “See ya later, Nader…”
Also in today’s CORVALICIOUS BLAST… Fireball is heading to SEMA on Monday to hang out with some cool Peeps like the boys of PIMP MY RIDE, EMERGENCY Squad 51, Fireball’s MACH 3 MINI flanked by Hotness, stunning LOWRIDER BOMBS of Ventura, more of the DIECAST GIRLS of Vegas, Fireball’s AMC GREMLIN was on tap of Diecast and the REAL REASON WE ALL LOVE VENTURA!

CHiPS, Celebs, Kustoms, Stangs, Girls & a 1000HP WAGON!!
After an overwhelming demand, Fireball has finally SKETCHED UP a CHiPS KAWASAKI KZ1000 MOTORCYCLE MASTERPRINT!!! One of our favorite TV Shows of the 70’s and early 80’s, this super cop bike is now on CANVAS, MUGS & TEES! Check it out NOW!
DID YOU KNOW?? The actors on CHiPS actually did ride and Larry Wilcox was very competent… But after about the second season, and due to safety, they did almost all trailer shots… which always look terrible! But in the first season, you can often see the bikes moving independently as they talk on completely open freeways!

1929 FORD, Kurt Russell, Carradine, Fireball Girls & BUGS!!
What are the things that get you exited in AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE? Here at the FTG, it’s things like Fireball’s all-new 1929 FORD CUSTOM PICKUP MASTERPRINT! This is Johnny Martinez’s ride and a show winner everywhere it goes. Be sure to check out Johnny’s hysterical interview on this week’s CAR SHOW SAFARI!
DID YOU KNOW?? The ’29 FORD MODEL A PICKUP was designed to be a truck… and was faster than the 1925 Model T pickup! It had a top speed of around 65mph, and some say it could reach that speed pretty easily. However, the Model AA version of the Model A had a lower gearing and a longer wheelbase which limited its top speed to just over 30 mph. SO faast…
Also in today rip-roarin’ BLAST… Fireball vintage snaps with Snake himself, KURT RUSSELL! This shot from the after-party for the film “ELVIS,” which Fireball Pop wrote and produced. Also, DAVID CARRADINE on set for KILL BILL (What’s the Car?), Fireball with his PURSUIT MINI for the Speed Channel Show STREET TUNER CHALLENGE, a Bonkers BUG at the Hot Wheels Legends Tour, ‘nuther Fireball MINI (The MACH 3) at an early Bimmerfest with… ahem, a Fireball GIRL! PLUS, a super cool BTTF DELOREAN SKETCH and Geezzup’s Gregg Ovist shows off his Fireball CHEVY CUSTOM ART based on the car he built! Whoa!
THIS SATURDAY it’s PARADE OF FRIGHTS in Channel Islands!! Fireball will be there!
