Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons was a British sci fi TV series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Thunderbirds) and filmed by their production company Century 21 for ITC Entertainment. It was the sixth Anderson series to be filmed using a form of electronic marionette puppetry dubbed SUPERMARIONATION combined with scale model special effects. Thirty-Two 25-minute episodes and set in the year 2068, it was first broadcast on ITV regional franchises between 1967 and 1968 and has since aired in more than 40 other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

POLICE TRIBUTE, Kevin Hart, Flying Woodie & Shagalicious!
Today, we lay tribute to a fallen hero… and as normally, you’d get nothing but POSITIVE VIBES here in the Garage, Fireball was approached by Steve Johnston of DIECAST SUPERCON in Vegas for this FORD EXPLORER POLICE CRUISER.
“Sergeant Thomas Sanfratello died after after responding to a dispute between two patrons at one of the Batavia Downs Casino’s bars at 8315 Park Road in Batavia. He lost his life in the service of his duty… Sergeant Sanfratello had served with the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office for 32 years and had twice been recognized as Officer of the Year. He is survived by his son, two daughters, mother, two sisters, nieces, and nephews.” Sergeant Sanfratello’s CRUISER is now immortalized in the Garage with 100% or proceeds going to the Families.

CLASSIC FERRARI, Events, Snoop Dogg, Slammed & Multi-Pass!

And now it’s available as an all-new MASTERPRINT… and more! Which Supercar would you have Fireball do for YOUR Garage? On SKETCH DECK this coming week is a ’54 CUSTOM, TJ HOOKER, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN and another JAMES BOND!
DID YOU KNOW?? The iconic Black Stallion Logo was bestowed upon Ferrari by the mother of a famous Italian pilot named Francesco Baracca. The Countess requested that he use the emblem on his race cars. Obliged, Ferrari continues to use the logo but slightly altered to have a yellow background for all cars. The last car to receive Enzo’s personal approval was the iconic Ferrari F40!
EVENTS are coming for the Holidays starting with WHEELS AND WAVES on October 6th! (See the SCHEDULE here!)

DUEL TRUCK, Roth Rod , Bandit One, American Muscle & Aliens!
Scary is the theme as we get closer to HALLOWEEN, but today launches an absolute icon of creepiness with Fireball’s DUEL TRUCK MASTERPRINT!! Scare your friends outta your Garage, Home of Shop with this awesome rusted behemoth MOVIE CAR ART along with MUGS & TEES! Hit the GARAGE NOW!
DID YOU KNOW?? Spielberg praised how the truck was handled in an exceptionally safe manner by 50 year old stunt driver Carey Loftin. Although it appears the truck is driving at a recklessly unsafe speed along the winding California roads, it is actually not going more than 30 mph! Only one truck was used while filming the original TV movie, which was famously destroyed when it plunged off a cliff at the end. But after Duel aired on TV, Universal wanted to release it in theaters, and 74 minutes was too short for a theatrical release, so additional scenes were filmed.
Also in today Coolness Blast… Fireball does up an ED ROTH MONSTER CLASSIC HOT ROD SKETCH, does snap time with KANYE WEST (YE) and Acura’s DAVE MAREK, finally launches the ALL-AMERICAN CLASSIC CAMARO MASTERPRINT and explores the original cast of ALIENS! Check out the APC TANK!
And finally, today’s BEST OF SHOW Episode features BANDIT ONE, rested and relaxed, but poised for a Moonshine Run like no other… “I’m Gonna Call you FROG, ’cause I kinda wanna Jump Ya…”

FANTASY ISLAND, Excalibur Kustom, Furious & the Boys in Blue
Happy Monday! Let’s get this COOL CAR Party started with an all-new FANTASY ISLAND MASTERPRINT that brings Paradise… and a bit of Sinister DoBADerry into your Garage, Home of Studio! We’re you a fan of “DA PLANE??” Then you know that evil lurks…
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? FANTASY ISLAND began as two made-for-television movies… and did so well that it became a series which aired from 1978 to 1984. Every Saturday night, fans would wait with excitement to hear Tattoo yell “De plane! De plane!” to find out who was heading to the Creepy Island that week. People could come to live out their fantasies on the mysterious island, overseen by Mr. Roarke, but with anything… there was always a price. The network and producer Aaron Spelling actually wanted different actors in the lead role and most of the time, Spelling won. But not against “Rich Corinthian Leather!”
Also in today’s blast, Fireball belts out an EXCALIBUR KUSTOM TRUCK Sketch for those wanting coolness, a shot of the BOYS IN BLUE and their ’67 Plymouth from the infamous ADAM 12, plus a brand new FAST & FURIOUS MITSUBISHI MASTERPRINT with additional new Shirts and Mugs! Check it out!
Today’s BEST OF SHOW Episode features a GULF LIVERY GM GEM CAR! Oh, the Horror!! WATCH!!

TRUCKSTER, ’67 Charger, Jade Idol, 600, Knievel & CLOCKWORK!
As of this BLAST, the NATIONAL LAMPOON FAMILY TRUCKSTER is in the #1 slot for fans of the Garage and it’s easy to know why… ’cause it’s just frikkin’ cool, that’s what! And if you’ve seen the movie, then all you want to do is buy a Wagon and hit the road!
BUT DID YOU KNOW?? A heavily-modified 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagon, the design, and cringe-worthy title of Wagon Queen Family Truckster were the brainchild of George Barris. Five Wagon Queens were built for the movie, primarily to be wrecked for the vehicle’s never-ending series of mishaps. For the iconic ‘turn off the highway scene’, stunt coordinator Dick Ziker made a bet against other crew members that he would be able to jump the Family Truckster more than 50 feet before crashing into the desert floor. Ziker won the bet. Ouch.
Also in today’s blast, Fireball scoots a ’67 Dodge Charger along PCH in search of Car Shows, a super hot SKETCH of Gene Winfield’s JADE IDOL smack outta his Coloring Book, Fireball’s rendition of Jeff Styles’ EVEL KNIEVEL VAN that’s premiering at SEMA this year and a CELEB SHOT of Malcolm McDowell and the car from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE! Robin Gibbons lent Stanley Kubrick his Probe 16 (AB/4) for use in filming in 1971. In the movie, it’s referred to as the “Durango 95!”
BEST OF SHOW Episode?? This MERCEDES BENZ 600 PULLMAN LIMO CONVERTIBLE spotted at Supercar Sunday! WATCH!!

ESCAPE FROM NY, The King, Hornet, Hot Rods & CRISPY PLISSKIN
If there were ever a singular source for AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE, you’ve found it in THE FIREBALL TIM GARAGE! And today, we launch a new ESCAPE FROM NY Duke Cadillac MASTERPRINT that beeegggg a new ESCAPE movie! And there might be one on the flaming horizon!! Could it be ESCAPE THE EARTH or ESCAPE THE EAST with Crispy Plisskin?? Stay tuned right here…
DID YOU KNOW?? The film, set in the near-future world of 1997, concerns a crime-ridden United States, which has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into the country’s sole maximum security prison. Air Force One is hijacked by anti-government insurgents who deliberately crash it into the walled borough. Though the film takes place in New York City, director JC said he and his crew couldn’t film some of the more ambitious sequences there because it would have “tied up the whole city too much,” so they went looking for an alternate location, and found one in St. Louis, Missouri. Why St. Louis? Well, a few years prior to filming, a fire destroyed parts of that city’s waterfront, leaving large areas of ruined buildings and empty streets that provided the perfect post-apocalyptic look.
Also in today’s blast, Fireball spots the PINK JEEP from Elvis’ Classic BLUE HAWAII, snap time with ZZTop’s Billy Gibbons in Hollywood, then sketches up the infamous and Fabulous HUDSON HORNET!! Color version coming soon on this one! Plus, Fireball’s WHEELS AND WAVES is happening on October 6th! Don’t miss it at the Channel Island Maritime Museum starting at 8am!
Today’s best of show is a HEAP A’ HOT RODS at the PETE! WATCH… DROOL… EAT CAKE.
UPCOMING MOVIE CARS!! Duel, Deloreans, TJ Hooker and My Favorite Martian! (Ok, that’s a Spaceship, but whatever dood.)
