DID YOU KNOW?? The Hannibal 8 was a custom-built, rocket-propelled car that could raise and lower itself, shoot a cannon, and create smoke screens. It was designed to be destructive and help the villainous driver beat his heroic competitor. The Hannibal 8 was powered by a Corvair 6-cylinder engine and had a 3-speed manual transmission and cost $150,000 to build in 1964, which is equivalent to over $1 million today!! After Warner Brothers let the cars go, they were displayed at the Movie World Cars of the Stars Museum in Buena Park, California… but where are they now??

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.

JURASSIC, Dick Van Dyke, SEMA Cars & Grateful Greta PINUP!
The weekend is here and so is Automotive Coolness! Let’s begin this blast with a new JURASSIC PARK EXPLORER MASTERPRINT that screams “RUN!!” ‘Cause what you DON’T see… is what’s scawee…
DID YOU KNOW?? The infamous roar of The T-REX was a composite mix of a dog, penguin, tiger’s snarl, alligators gurgle, and a baby elephants squeal. (Sounds like our yawns in the morning, too.) Also, The gyrosphere was executive producer Steven Spielberg’s idea. According to director Colin Trevorrow, Spielberg “wanted to create a way for people to get up close and personal with the animals, to make it a self-driving, free-roaming experience.

JETSONS, Knievels, Monkees, SEMA Cars, Jeeps & Wonder Woman!
Good morning from AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE Central! And as cool as wheels are… Fireball’s gotta do a JETSONS SPACESHIP from time to time… so here’s a NEW MASTERPRINT for those who grew up with the World’s Best Cartoon Series!
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? Though “The Jetsons” never specified exactly what year in the future the show took place. Original press materials said it was set in 2062—a century in the future. But it was the network’s first show to air in color, though only viewers in a few cities could actually see it in color! But the show also predicted Flying Cars, Vertical Cities, Smart Bathrooms, Robot Assistance, Smart Appliances, Video Meetings & 3D Printed Food! Yikes!!
Also in today’s ASTROTASTIC BLAST… Fireball scoots town with Actor DENISE CROSBY (Watch Below!) hangs out with CREW KNIEVEL at SEMA 2024, the MONKEEMOBILE was cool full size and Diecasted, Diecast GIRLS are coming to VEGAS for the February SUPERCON, more SEMA BUILDS, WONDER WOMAN ready to smack some Evil Villain Hiney, Fireball’s Commissioned BLACKHORSE JEEP Concept Art and a Vintage Snap aboard a SCHWINN from 1972!!

JAMES DEAN, Eastwood, Mod Squad, Dodge, SEMA & Lowriders!
Welcome to the coolness of AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!
I’m Fireball and I’ve been a Concept Artist in the film industry for over 40 years… and I love cars. So I created a store to share my passion through my ART with POP CULTURE CARS… and more. There are HUNDREDS in the Garage Store and tons more coming, but if you don’t see what you’d like… then reach out to me to see what we can do! I also do tons of COMMISSIONS & PARTNERSHIPS with my Coloring Books and shows like SEMA… worldwide! Join me in my crusade to celebrate CARS & CINEMA!
Today, we rock it with James Dean’s famous 1955 PORSCHE 500 SPYDER CANVAS MASTERPRINT. Ton’s of Porsches in the store, but this one is the tiniest… and the coolest.
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? James Dean got this 550 Spyder just nine days before his unfateful accident. He called his car “Little Bastard” – a nickname given to him by his close friends. Dean asked painter and pinstriper Dean Jeffries to customize the look of his car.
Also in today’s POPTACULAR BLAST… CLINT EASTWOOD takes on the Hollywood Hills with his son in the early days, the MOD SQUAD drove what cars in the show? Fireball’s actual STORYBOARDS for an 80’s DODGE COMMERCIAL, SEMA GIRLS… are the BEST, LARRY HAGMAN & BARBARA EDEN were the best in I DREAM OF JEANIE and a Vintage Snap of Fireball scooting some CORGIS & DINKYS on Christmas Morning 1970!

INCREDIBLES, Emma Peel, Battlestar, Diecast & NEW REVEAL!
Happy Veterans Day and JOIN US in celebrating those that are the true INCREDIBLES! So let’s start off with Fireball’s all-new INCREDIBLES Incredicar MASTERPRINT! Will they make another Incredibles Movie with MORE Car Action? One can only hope, but put this one on your Garage Wall and your space might become a bit FASTER!
DID YOU KNOW?? Originally, Pixar did not want to make the film as it was the first Pixar movie to star ONLY humans. Brad Bird got the idea for this movie in the early 1990s, basing the story on his own experiences trying to balance a career with family. Samuel L. Jackson was cast as the voice of Frozone because Brad Bird wanted the character to have the coolest voice. And it’s set in METROVILLE!
Also in today’s BATTLETASTIC BLAST… EMMA PEEL from The AVENGERS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA BIKES and the amazing MAREN JENSEN were both on kid’s walls, we look back to SOLDIER CON FRIENDS and forward to THE DIECAST SUPERCON in one shot and Fireball’s TRW RED STEEL DELOREAN is finally revealed at SEMA!!
