Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY!! Not only do we have a new SAFARI EPISODE, but Fireball has busted out a NEW JOHN WICK MUSTANG BOSS 429 MASTERPRINT!! Super badass and now available on MUGS & TEES too!!!
DID YOU KNOW??
The Mustang is actually a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, but it’s called a Boss 429 in the movie.
Although it’s described at “HITMAN GRAY,” there are times where it’s GREEN too! We think it looks better in green also… But maybe Fireball should do a gray version!

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??
Today’s Fireballism… “GIVE kindness, CARS and LOVE… and watch your world explode with Coolness…”
Today’s BEST OF SHOW is from THE LA AUTO SHOW, but this weekend is THE GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW & WHEELS AND WAVES!! Tons of Episodes coming!!

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!

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!
*Today’s Fireballism… “It doesn’t matter what Political side you’re on… What matters is that you focus on being a BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF each day and not criticize others. This is what Car People do… and life becomes AWESOME.

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!

Welcome to America’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Yes, we are excited to live in a country where there are so many cool cars! Let’s start ‘er up with a MASTERPRINT of CHRISTINE and Fireball Peep Snap of Actor ALEXANDRA PAUL! Yup, she was the young girl in the film who SURVIVED the Killer Car!

Crashed, set on fire, and crushed… the remaining cars were used to promote the movie and then sold to collectors. Stephen King chose the 1958 Plymouth Fury because he thought it was a “forgotten car.” Now it’s IMMORTALIZED!
