Fireball finally busts out the bodacious BATMISSIBLE Sketch
Been meaning to get to this car for a long time… From BATMAN RETURNS, The BATMISSILE resulted when the original ’89 Batmobile literally blew it’s doors off. (Technically, it didn’t have doors, but ENTIRE SIDES!) But I found it funny that Batman built the Batmissile just to go down tight alleys… once. That’s a lot of work for a chase? But it looks amazing ON MUGS & SHIRTS!!
**Check out ALL FIREBALL’S BATMOBILES HERE!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Batmissile was an emergency function of the original Batmobile. Once engaged, the car would shed pieces of the outer body and change shape, basically leaving the turbine engine with the 4 wheels pulled inline to fit its new form. Its only known use was during the Cobblepot mayoral campaign.

Fireball spots awesome CUSTOM 1965 BUICK RIVIERA LOWRIDER…
From the MOONEYES Show, Fireball spots an incredible 2-year long paint job on a ‘65 BUICK RIV LOWRIDER. Check it out!
DID YOU KNOW?? In 1965 the 401 cu in (6.6 L) V8 returned as the standard engine, and the “Gran Sport” version made its debut, powered by the Super Wildcat V8, a 360 hp (268 kW) engine equipped with two Carter 625 CFM carburetors, a distributor with different advance, and outfitted with a more aggressive 3.42 axle ratio.

EMERGENCY Squad 51 gets called to the Fireball Tim Garage…
Been wanting to do this SKETCH for a long time and more requests on this one that even the BATMOBILE!
So today, we launch SQUAD 51 from EMERGENCY! And we’ve got some really cool stuff in THE GARAGE here! One of my favorite shows as a kid, I dreamed of being a Fireman and going on many adventures. These guys were likable, heroic and exciting. Although I became a DESIGNER instead, I’ve always admired Firefighters like no one else. If you personally know one, then give them the RESPECT they deserve.
DID YOU KNOW?? The “Squad 51” in the Los Angeles County Fire Museum is the last of three vehicles of that model used during the filming of Emergency!. The first was a 1972 D300 1 ton truck cab and chassis. This squad appeared in the first two seasons. An identical 1973 D300 appeared during the third season. LA County Fire Station 127 (Station 51) in Carson City, CA, is preserved as it was during filming of “Emergency!” The station is dedicated to the memory of the show’s producer Robert A. Cinader.
