The film “Car Men” is scheduled to debut on the grandest stage of them all…as the lead-in to the 2012 Superbowl on NBC! This is following the success of its U.S. theatrical premiere and its television ratings smash.
The worldwide television premiere of the film “Car Men” was on December 18 and the ratings were stunningly huge, especially for a documentary about a used car dealership.
Shown on NBC affiliate WXII, “Car Men” delivered a household rating of a 1.9 – 1st in the time period with all the major stations.
Even more impressive: The documentary had an undesirable infomercial lead in and had tough competition on another network from an NFL pre-game show. Expectations were high that the film would perform strong, but not like this.
Because of those ratings, Winston Salem NBC affiliate WXII 12 offered the makers of “Car Men” the opportunity to be what is potentially going to be the lead-in for the most watched television program of the year…Superbowl XLVI.
“Car Men” reveals an in-depth look at the Myers men, Frank and Tracy. While Tracy Myers may play outrageous on television to sell cars – this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.
“In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be” said auto industry pro Bruce Roffey. “When you watch Car Men, you’ll find out why.”
“My dad and I are honored and humbled that this film was made. It’s an amazing legacy, not only for our family but also for the city of Winston-Salem,” said Tracy Myers, one of the films stars. Myers continued by saying, “I was amazed at the response we got at the red carpet premiere and was shocked at the ratings it delivered when it debuted on tv. But when I found out that the film was being shown before the Superbowl, I couldn’t believe it. I’m still in shock.”
The film “Car Men” will be shown Sunday morning, February 5th 2012 at 11:30am on Winston Salem, NC NBC affiliate WXII 12.

About “Car Men” – The Movie
He’s gone on TV dressed up as a giant pickle. Nowadays, you’ll see him most often sporting a giant red, white and blue Uncle Sam hat. Tracy Myers may play outrageous to sell cars – but this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.
“Car Men” details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that’s known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.
As one auto pro says, “In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be.” Watch “Car Men” and you’ll find out why.
