“Car People love Automotive Art… but most of the time it’s too expensive. Fireball’s Masterprints are just right for my Garage.” Pierre Walston – New York
DID YOU KNOW?? The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was used in the first movie, even though it wasn’t introduced in the United States until 2003. The later Evolution VII’s color scheme, body kit, and overall look were a deliberate nod to Paul Walker’s 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse from The Fast and the Furious. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII is one of the few protagonist cars that is not destroyed on-screen!!
Also in today’s SUPER FAST BLAST… One of Fireball’s early shots with buddy DICK VAN DYKE, circa 2002 in Malibu. They were out buying groceries!

TURTLES, Tron, Saint, Corky, Kool Concepts & FIRE BLANKETS!
It’s only Tuesday and the AWESOMENESS is outta the Bag… so Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY with 4 stunning MASTERPRINTS! TURTLES, TRON, THE SAINT and the Kustom CHEVHELL! Has Fireball done your car yet? Here’s how…
DID YOU KNOW?? The original Tron Tank was designed by Syd Mead. The interior was a complex set with a rotating chair and cockpit and the movie was inspired by the video game Pong and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It was one of the first films to use computer animation, but the special effects were created using only 2 MB of memory and 330 MB of storage. It was actually disqualified from an Academy Award nomination for special effects because the Academy thought using computer-generated effects was “cheating!!”
Also in today’s USER BLAST… Fireball hangs with Vintage Maestro CORKY COKER at Sema, Concept Art Color Comp for the film GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE, Fireball rebuilding the original BLADE RUNNER Model after a home invasion and utter destruction… and EMERGENCY FIRE BLANKETS are now IN THE GARAGE!! What needs to be on a Blanket NEXT??
PLUS, a Behind the Scenes of Gerry Andersen’s THUNDERBIRDS along with Fireball super cool MASTERPRINT... and lasty a new PINUP named “LITTLE MOON.” Should he drop this one IN THE GARAGE??

Magnificent Monday and WELCOME TO AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Tons of NEW ART today starting with Fireball’s BIG BUS MASTERPRINT! A super cheesy 70’s Movie with an absolutely awesome vehicle… that EVERYONE would want!
DID YOU KNOW?? The bus used in the movie was actually two International trucks joined together by a fiberglass shell. The rear wheels were each five feet tall and weighed 1,100 pounds, plus the actual 75-ton Cyclops Bus was hung over a cliff by a 125-ton crane for long shots!! Two drivers were required to operate the bus, one in the front and one in the back, connected by a telephone! (And not an iphone, folks…)

TREK, Star Wars, Car Show Peeps, Starsky, SWAT & Motorama!
Welcome to the Weekend and AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Let’s rock the Sci-Fi Socks with this awesome and fun STAR TREK Mad Magazine Behind the Scenes and Fireball’s ENTERPRISE MASTERPRINT! “Live Long and with Coolness…”
DID YOU KNOW?? The ship was originally named Yorktown, but Gene Roddenberry wanted to name it after the aircraft carrier Enterprise. The NCC-1701 registry comes from the US aircraft registration code NC, and the second C was added because Soviet aircraft used Cs. Also, Fireball Pop was the first Writer that Gene Roddenberry went to to write the Pilot Episode, but sadly… he was writing Bonanza at the time!
Also in today TINY TRIBBLE BLAST… STAR WARS LANDSPEEDER Behind the Scenes from Tunisia and the MASTERPRINT in the Garage, Fireball Car Show Peeps include KYRA STEINBACH, Legends Tour, Illustrator GEOFF OMBAO and a DIECAST SPACE HONEY!

PANTHER, Rockford Behind the Scenes, Celebs & a Pussycat!
Good Friday and WELCOME TO AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Remember the hysteria that was THE PINK PANTHER? “How can an IDIOT be a Policeman? Answer me THAT!” – Dreyfus.
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? The Pink Panther character was originally created for the opening credits of the 1963 film “The Pink Panther.” The Pink Panther Show ran on television for 10 years from 1969–1975 and Blake Edwards (the writer and director of the 1963 film) chose the Pink Panther character from over a hundred panther SKETCHES!
Today’s BEST OF SHOW features a tryptic BUGATTIS in this Supercar Playlist! Check ’em out BELOW or YOUTUBE IT!

DRAGULA, Partridge, Old School, Wieners, Klassics & Concepts
Welcome to AMERICA’S AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Cars & Art is the Fireball way… and today we celebrate with with more MUNSTERS Behind the Scenes of THE LAB and an ALL-NEW DRAGULA MASTERPRINT!! Who didn’t want to drive a Coffin?? Check it out in the Garage Store!
DID YOU KNOW?? Grandpa Munster built the Drag-U-La to win back the Munster Koach after Herman lost it in a race (Episode “Hot Rod Herman.”) It was so popular that it was added to the end credits of the following year. Rob Zombie wrote a song about the car in 1998! The original Drag-U-La was sold at auction in 1985 and is currently on display at the Hollywood Star Cars Museum in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!
Also in today’s DEAD-ON-ARRIVAL BLAST… THE PARTRIDGES was another hit from 1970-74 and the BUS disappeared into the annals of History… never to be seen again. Many rumors afloat, but it’s shots like this that are GOLD! Also, some Fireball Car Show Peeps and Celebs reveal the Terrible Tryptic of Ah-nuld, Sly and Willis, a jacked Chevy 3100, Model T Mafia and the MacGids with their cool Minty Wagon. Also ‘Nuther Classic is the WIENERMOBILE… and it kept it’s name after some people attempted to say that “Wieners” were inappropriate. We say that “When in doubt, eat a WIENER.”
Some cool rides on the Fireball Scanner include the delivery of the MUNSTER KOACH and a Massive ’59 CADDY. Big, Bold and Beautiful…
Today’s BEST OF SHOW?? MASERATIS are silly expensive, but this Playlist might make you want to buy a Hot Wheels Version!! Watch below of HIT THE CHANNEL!

MOD SQUAD, Get Smart, Kustoms, Ecto, Treasure & Concepts
Welcome to America’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! How you guys doin’ this morning? Well, let’s make it awesome with a MOD SQUAD MASTERPRINT and a Vintage TV Guide Cover from 1970! This show was a HIT!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Producers of THE MOD SQUAD used the word “mod” to mean something current and fashionable. The three young people in “Mod Squad” were Hollywood’s version of people who were “with it,” who talked, dressed and acted like many other people of the time. They were “hippies,” but ones who were forced to live by society’s rules and not “drop out!” Fireball Pop wrote several episodes of this one…
Also in today’s MODTASTIC BLAST... a Vintage Production Snap from GET SMART and Fireball’s MASTERPRINT, cool Car Show Peeps include CRAIG CASEY & KYRA STEINBACH, Fireball with the filthy ECTO 1 and his Bosozoku MASTERPRINT, on set with Pop for NATIONAL TREASURE 2, Steve Geldman Snap with the last Gen CHEVY CAMARO (…at Malibu Wheels & Waves) and Fireball’s GYRON CONCEPT for the unmade film DOWNLOADER.
Today’s BEST OF SHOW is from the MONTECITIO CARS & COFFEE with Vintage, Kustoms, Muscle, Euro, Exotics and Dana Newquist’s stunning 1936 HupMobile! WATCH BELOW or hit it on YOUTUBE!
