Good morning you QUANTIFIABLE QUIRKS and welcome to today’s vanishing AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! NEW ART!! Fireball busts out the 1970 DODGE CHALLENGER from the film VANISHING POINT!! This movie made MOPAR a STAR!

DID YOU KNOW?? The Vanishing Point Challenger was a real 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, not a specially modified movie car, and was chosen for its powerful 440 engine and strong torsion bar suspension. Its white color was a practical choice to stand out in desert landscapes, not for symbolic meaning. Chrysler loaned five cars to the production for the film and while the film hints it was supercharged, it wasn’t, and the car used for the final bulldozer crash was an explosives-rigged 1967 Camaro pulled by a Challenger. Wups.

The VP MUGSHOT is out and it’s GLORIOUS! And remember, COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY OPEN so you can get Fireball to do YOUR CAR, too! Here’s how…

And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball out and abooot in this Classic Jag… And although Ferrari said “it was the most beautiful car ever designed,” the faces on those you pass as you drive will tell it all! PLUS, Fireball hits the GALPIN SHOW and reveals a BATTLE BUG! More shots coming this week of the show!

***NEWSFLASH!! Fireball has signed with THE STATIK TALENT AGENCY to be represented for COMIC CONS, EVENTS & MORE! Check out the PRESS RELEASE HERE!

Today’s MOVIE POSTER ART is THE THING by DREW STRUZAN! A Classic piece that was done at lightning speed…. It was created in a single, rushed day without studio references and depicts a mysterious figure with light bursting from its face… which doesn’t accurately represent the movie’s shapeshifting monster but captures the film’s sense of dread and paranoia. The paint was so wet upon delivery that it stuck to the glass it was being transported in!!

MORE BEST OF SHOW EPISODES!! Watch THE SCYTHE, Bonkers PATRIOT HUMMER and a First Glance at THE GALPIN SHOW!! Have an awesome week, folks!!
