(BlackNews.com) - Movie Car Mania is a small company
devoted to the interests of those people who have a
love affair with motor vehicles. However, the company
caters to such car enthusiasts on a smaller scale. Specifically,
Movie Car Mania finds and sells scale model vehicles
to its clients. Recently, Movie Car Mania celebrated
its first anniversary and has shown a steady increase
in business since its meager beginnings.
The founder, "Head Maniac" and driving force behind
Movie Car Mania is Rodney Wren, a native Baltimorean
who currently resides in Baltimore County. Rodney, a
graduate of the University of Baltimore, has always
been interested in anything car related. He enjoys watching
movies with great car themes and great car chase scenes
like: Bullitt, Vanishing Point, James Bond 007 movies,
Le Mans, Dirty Mary/ Crazy Larry, Italian Job (old and
new), Mad Mad Mad Mad World, American Graffiti, etc.
Out of these interests, he has amassed a sizeable personal
collection of videos that includes these movies. He
gradually extended his interest in these movies by establishing
a collection of die cast models of the cars seen in
these movies. Ultimately, www.MovieCarMania.com
was born out Rodney's combined interests in car themed
movies, as well as, the actual die cast car replicas
from such movies.
As "Head Maniac" of his company, Rodney is a regular
one man show. He is the web designer, buyer, receiver,
promoter, idea conceiver, troubleshooter and oftentimes
the photographer for Movie Car Mania. Rodney makes extensive
use of the Internet and designed an innovative website
to promote and whet the appetite of both movie and car
connoisseurs. On his site, www.MovieCarMania.com,
you can find, purchase and start a collection of die
cast models of vehicles that have appeared in various
movies and on TV. For example, you can order a precision
die cast model of the 917 Porsche racing machine that
Steve McQueen drove in "Le Mans" or the 1933 Ford that
appeared in the "Bonnie and Clyde" movie or the Mini-Coopers
that appeared in "The Italian Job". Movie Car Mania
maintains a stock of high-end collectible die cast models
from such renowned companies as Ertl, AutoArt, GMP,
Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, and the Franklin Mint.
These include not only such highly-prized cars featured
on the silver screen and TV, but also street rods, muscle
cars, a model of Al Capone's V-16 Cadillac, a number
of vintage motorcycles and a sweet-looking Vespa. Please
do not confuse these beautifully-crafted vehicles with
toys. Toys they are not. But what memories they evoke
and what beautiful displays they make. These models
range in size from 1/10th scale to 1/64th scale.
Thanks to the wide-reaching tentacles of the Internet,
Movie Car Mania has had sales from enthusiastic customers
from virtually every State in the US as well as from
Africa, Singapore, Brazil, Japan, Great Britain, France,
Italy, Mexico, Canada, Greece and Turkey to name a few.
Car enthusiasts come from all walks of life and all
ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Movie Car Mania makes
an effort to satisfy the needs of all of its clients.
Rodney particularly enjoys a challenge of finding specific
vehicles that his clients request. So, if you have a
particular model car in mind, give his company a try.
Keep in mind that there's no gasoline needed to enjoy
these cars! You can have a fine collectible car for
less than what it cost to fill the tank of a full-sized
SUV. Also, if you like to test your knowledge about
cars featured in various movies and on TV, try your
