The Mini Mark was in a family of cars from the visions of DeWayne Creighton. He is also remembered for cars such as the Citation, Sebring, Creighton, Maxi Taxi and Mini Mark. Unfortunately they were well ahead of their time with the designs of these cars and they may have been appreciated more today than they were then. Bremen Composites as it is known now was founded in 1965 developing dune buggies in a chicken coup. Throughout the 70's and 80's Bremen expanded their automotive line in both kit form and factory built turn key production models. From what I have learned the Mini Mark was factory built conversion with just a few kitted to contractors (I know of three currently, one in Ohio, Illinois and in Kansas.). There was a fire at the Bremen plant in 1975 but the company rebuilt, ending car production in 1984 when DeWayne took a new job opportunity.
Today, the current Bremen Composites operates out of five separate plants, including a full service paint facility, located on a 19 acre complex in the Bremen Industrial Park. Some of the industries currently serviced by Bremen Composites are van and truck conversions, truck aftermarket, commercial truck and trailer, RV, marine and other industrial markets.
Any additional information on the plant or the car would be greatly appreciated to share with other owners on this blog and preserve a bit of valuable history.
Have a mini mark and need a bumper. where do I find one?
ReplyDeleteBumpers are a problem, there were 3 different styles and I have yet to find any of them anywhere. If you still have you can re-chrome, and possibly have straightened.

Very nice site. My neighbor has a 1984 Mini Mark that is in Great condition, has always been garaged. It is on a 1974 VW Frame. Has Hard Top, and Convertible Kit. I think it was mostly used in parades. It has a towbar that you can pull it behind a vehicle. He is looking to sell it. The car has been completely gone over the past year. It has all the extras on it and everything works.
ReplyDeletewould like to see,could you put us in touch through this website
DeleteAlso very interested if it's still available - am in Bradenton, Fl and so would prefer A/C

Love the site. We purchased, July 15, 2015, a 1983 Bremen Mini Mark, cream color, brown hardtop and cream soft top. Bought here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Had to get out of province inspection with only two minor repairs. Car has been appraised as excellent - probably as none in Canada that he knew of, and it does not have a mark on it. It came from Arizona, as had the number on it. Just love the car, and wish I could get more information on the makers.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure of the year my Mini Mark was made, but the engine is a 1971. I read your info on the early, mid and late model builds. This one seams to be built in the middle.
Thanks,
