Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! Happy Friday, folks... and let's get 'er blastin! Off the line, we've got a QUESTION? In the 60's, Fireball Pop hired George Barris to build this one-off Kustom Hot Rod for the ELVIS film, "EASY COME, EASY GO,"... which he wrote. Later, the car was used on the TV Show BATMAN as the JOKERMOBILE. Should Fireball SKETCH THIS UP? LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW or make a SUGGESTION for something you'd like to see!
DID YOU KNOW?? "Easy Come, Easy Go" was Elvis's final film with Paramount Pictures and his last one with Hal Wallis, which was followed by PARADISE, HAWAIIAN STYLE & ROUSTABOUT which Fireball Pop also wrote! But Elvis was no longer as interested in his film career and the music soundtracks he had to record for Paramount. He just wanted to sing Well, I guess that "Easy Come, Easy Go" was an appropriate title!
Also in today's I LOVE MY MAMA BLAST... Fireball Car Show Peeps pop in with DAWN CUDE-HENDERSON, DANIEL VEHSE, a DARK TROOPER all flanked by Fireball's hot BRONCO AMERICANO MASTERPRINT! Plus, a Fireball Snap ON SET of the FLINTSTONES and Fred's rollin's stoner THE FLINTMOBILE MASTERPRINT! (Tons of other Flintstones coolness in the Garage!) Also, some Fireball Vintage History from 1980 with his bro and Grandmother's MERCEDES. Classic Cool, but check out Fireball's MATRIX THEMED "NEO MINI" which sold in 2010 and was built by the legendary Eddie Paul! Also, a funky weird Motorhome IN THE WILD and Fireball's 1929 FORD MASTERPRINT done for striper Johnny Martinez. This car is a multi-show winner!
THE WOLFMAN Movie comes out today and he needs a COOL CAR! So, Fireball whipsnapped a fuzzy rocket-powered MUSCLE. And lastly, an actual large stunning GOUACHE piece of the JAGUAR XJS.
