Carson City entrepreneur fills a tiny niche with tiny vehicles
Carson City resident Jeff Halpern began collecting die-cast police cars while working at a hobby shop in Burbank, Calif. Soon he had a personal collection of more than 1,200 model cars, and he started a Web site to showcase his collection.
