A business that started in the basement of his home, Todd Miller and
DiecastMuscleCars.com have now grown to a 1800 sq. ft building that was
built in 2002.....
Starting business in March of 1999 Todd Miller, owner of
DiecastMucleCars.com has created one of the most popular Diecast Dealer
sites on the internet.
Known for fair prices and excellent
service DMC offeres a wide range of products that include, 1:18 Scale
Musclecars and Classic Cars from Ertl, Lane/Exact Detail, GMP, Hwy 61,
Sunstar, Maisto, Road Legends and Hot Wheels. DMC also stocks a full
line of 1:18 accs. such as Gas Pumps, Tool Boxes, Replacement Wheels,
Trailers etc. . .
Current inventory is a little over 400
different models. DMC also sells T-Shirts, Sweat Shirts, Mouse pads and
Musclecars Calendars all of which include the
DiecastMusclecars.Com logo.
To
help readers get to know Todd and DMC a little better I ask Todd to
give us a little information about himself and where he sees the hobby
of Diecast Collectibles heading. Here is what Todd had to say!
DCP: Can you tell our readers a little about you personally?
Todd:
Well, I'm 35 years old, not married, no kids 1 miniature Dachshund.
Grew up racing BMX bikes now I'm racing cars. (Racing seems to be in my
blood) I also own a 2002 Pontiac Ram Air Trans Am. (Don't drive that
one much)
Favorite TV Shows: Pro Football, Extreme Sports and CSI.
Music Choice:
Good Ol Rock n Roll. I've loved Musclecars since I was in my teens. My
Uncle always had Musclecars. Mostly Chevys. My mom also owned a 1972
Skylark although not as much of a Musclecar as the Gran Sports it was
enough to hook me on Buicks! I've since owned about
20 1970-72 Skylarks and Gran Sports. I currently own and Drag race a 1970 Buick GS Stage 1.
I
love car shows and Drag Racing events. I love all Musclecars but my
devotion is definately with Buicks. I use to work at a cycle dealership
(15 years) but my love was always with cars so when the oppurtunity
came to "
Build"
DiecastMusclecars.Com I went for it and
never looked back. I love talking to my customers about our love for
cars. I guess thats what makes this business so neat.
DCP: Where you a collector?
Todd: I was a Diecast Collector long before I started
DiecastMusclecars.Com so
I took what made me happy as a collector and tried to incorporate that
into my business. Things such as quality packaging, quality products,
friendly phone service, fair prices and quick response time whether it
be answering e-mails or just getting the product shipped to the
customer in a timely fasion. I've also tried to keep the website simple
and easy to navigate.
DCP: Can you share your visions for the future of the hobby?
Todd:
Until Space ships take over I feel people will always love cars so I
hope that the hobby stays strong and continues to grow. I also hope the
Diecast Companys continue to go the right direction or they could
kill
the hobby. I feel they should limit the amount of cars they produce
each year and pay attention to what the collectors want. After all, the
collectors are "paying there bills".
DCP: One final question, What would you consider to be your personal favorite piece of Diecast you own.
Todd:
Well since I'm so devoted to Buicks I'm going to have to say my 1970 GS
Stage 1 Chase Car. They only made 156 of these so they're pretty rare.
