Icons of AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE are vast, but originals never fail! And today, Fireball expands on DEATH RACE 2000 with this new MASTERPRINT depicting Frankenstein’s car in explosive bloody coolness! Were you a fan of Corman Movies? What was YOUR favorite??

DID YOU KNOW?? Death Race 2000 was a dystopian science-fiction action film about a cross-country race in the year 2000 where contestants kill people for points. The movie was directed by Paul Bartel and produced by Roger Corman. It starred David Carradine as “Frankenstein” and Sylvester Stallone as “Machine Gun Joe Viterbo.” Frankenstein’s car in the 1975 film was called THE MONSTER and was a custom-built, alligator-themed 1968 Volkswagen Beetle with a modified Corvette body, but powered by a flat-six Corvair engine with a reptile-scaled paint, spiked spine, and snake eyes for headlights! Sssss!!

CAT MONSTER G86, Monster Garage, Vettes, Patina & Bats!

Is there anything better than KUSTOM CARS?? Here at the FTG, we think it’s akin to Chocolate… which is why Fireball busts out sketches like this all-new BAKE NEKO! In Japanese… that’s CAT MONSTER!! This new MASTERPRINT features a Custom TOYOTA JDM G86 with Fireball’s Feline Fury (Furry?) in an overall blanket of glistening Jade. Perfect for you AutoOffice, Diecast Garage or REAL Garage! It’s in the FIREBALL EBAY STORE, too!!

DID YOU KNOW?? The funky weird Japanese WAVING CAT have become associated with good luck and fortune. It is common to see Maneki Neko statues in both Western and Japanese businesses and homes as a token of wealth and prosperity. But in Japan, where there are special words for endless self-improvement (Kaizen) and “Death by Overwork” (karoshi), CATS, with their relaxed attitude and abundant napping, could well be the lifestyle models the nation needs, especially in times of distress or economic downturn.

Also in today’s Fireball Blast, a Vintage Snap of the Ball with buddy’s GENE WINFIELD & DARYL STARBIRD on the set of MONSTER GARAGE as they built The Flying Car! Plus, ACTION HEROES and Fireball admiring Robotness in Hollywood!

PLUS, a new CORVETTE SUMMER MASTERPRINT is coming this afternoon!

Today’s BEST OF SHOW is this sickass PATINA’D CHEVY SHOOTING BRAKE TRUCK! A tiny Suburban?? You decide!

NEW CHARLIE’S ANGELS, Celebs, 1.21 Gigawatts and SHOW SHOTS!

Last weekend, Fireball hit 7 Car Shows and you’re about to get the skinny, but first… a NEW CHARLIE’S ANGELS MASTERPRINT!! This time, Fireball busts out the 1977 FORD MUSTANG GHIA from the show! WATCH HIM DO IT HERE! Who was YOUR favorite Angel??

DID YOU KNOW?? The OG “Charlie’s Angels” ran on television from 1976 to 1981, starring Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson. They were later joined by Cheryl Ladd and Shelley Hack. But the original title of the series was “Alley Cats,” but Kate Jackson suggested “Charlie’s Angels” after seeing a picture of angels in Aaron Spelling’s office. Another title in consideration was “Harry’s Angels.”

Celebrity SNAPS! Fireball with Movie Monster Master STAN WINSTON while working on a new film together. Sadly, Stan passed away and the movie dissolved. Second up, Fireball and SCHWARZENEGGER at the LA Auto Show for the promotion of the film SON OF THE MASK. But the Governator was too big to fit into the car! Also, Fireball and JESSE JAMES on the set for MONSTER GARAGE. Fireball designed the Flying Car and Insane 54 for episode 86. And finally, at this year’s SOLDIER CON with Incredible Artist Heather Edwards and Senior Editor of Comicon, Brendan Allen!

COLUMBO JUST ONE MORE THING, Celebs & Slammed Trucks

Fireball Tim Garage is Automotive Pop Culture TV & Film at it’s best… and today we celebrate with COLUMBO!! This PEUGEOT 503 MASTERPRINT and MORE is now in the Garage featuring the man who always said…“Just one more thing…” Snag one to feature in YOUR GARAGE!

DID YOU KNOW?? When fans heard Lieutenant Columbo’s trademark phrase “just one more thing…” we knew he’s about to crack the case wide open. The unconventional detective, played brilliantly by Peter Falk, first appeared on our screens in 1968. But it wasn’t until in the 1971 episode “Dead Weight” that the detective flashed his badge and a closeup revealed that the gumshoe’s first name was in fact… Frank.

Also in today’s BLAST… Fireball snaps with ALEXANDRA PAUL from the Horror film CHRISTINE, pumps a new SON OF THE MASK upcoming MASTERPRINT, hits the last SANTA PAULA CRUISE NIGHT of the Season and asks… “Why are some POLICE MOVIE CARS so lame??”

Today’s BEST OF SHOW?? A RATTED COOL CHEVY C10 from CRUISIN FOR A CURE!
