One of the most famous MOVIE CARS on the planet isn't driven by a MAN IN BLACK. It's the National Lampoon TRUCKSTER from FAMILY VACATION! And that... is driven by Clark Griswold. But what makes the Truckster so unique? It's the most extreme... and weirdest Station Wagon ever built.
The car was a heavily modified 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire Wagon built by Warner Bros, the movie being released on July 29, 1983. It created a massive uptick in Family Vacations across the country... and a few people trying to jump their wagons. (That didn't end well, but looked pretty good on video. ;-) When was the last time you WATCHED IT??
Today, Fireball launches an all new MASTERPRINT along with several other TRUCKSTER iteme! Check 'em out!
Also on today's blast is a SHARK ATTACK SKETCH, inspired for a Coloring Book. The AMPHICAR Model 770 is all amphibious and was was launched at the 1961 NEW YORK AUTO SHOW. It was made in West Germany from 1961 to 1968, with production ceasing in 1965. And yes... it worked.
Next up is the MYSTERY OF 2125. No one really knows where this location exists, but some say that although it looks outside, it's really deep inside the Caves of Maine. And what do they do at 2125? Well, Fireball knows... but he's not telling, because he started it. But of you ask him, he'll distract you with HOT WHEELS, give you a Cookie and maybe tell you a Top Secret Story. But we do know that 2125 began as a secret Mason Temple and is now rumored to be the home of the ARTISAN SPEC, highest order of the Illuminati. But hey, you didn't hear it from us.
