ECD Auto Design Unveils 'The Gallery' for Elite Bespoke Paint & Upholstery
KISSIMMEE, Florida – In a significant move set to redefine automotive aesthetic customization, ECD Auto Design, renowned globally for its meticulous restoration of iconic vehicles, has officially launched its newest division: "The Gallery by ECD, Artists in Custom Paint and Upholstery." This groundbreaking expansion broadens the company's celebrated craftsmanship, making premium, fully bespoke paint and interior services accessible for virtually any vehicle, regardless of its original make or model.
For years, ECD Auto Design has carved a niche as a leader in creating one-of-a-kind luxury classics, meticulously bringing bespoke Land Rovers, Jaguar E-Types, Ford Mustangs, Toyota FJs, and Porsche 911s back to their former glory, often exceeding their original grandeur. The company's reputation is built on an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, individuality, and an uncompromising attention to detail, transforming client visions into tangible automotive masterpieces.
A Canvas for Every Classic: What 'The Gallery' Offers

The introduction of "The Gallery by ECD" marks a pivotal moment for classic car enthusiasts and collectors who have long admired ECD's work but perhaps didn't own one of their specialist marques. The new division directly addresses years of growing demand from clients and enthusiasts seeking to apply ECD's signature level of artistry to their own cherished vehicles.
Spearheaded by a team of master-certified Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) craftsmen, "The Gallery" offers a fully immersive customization experience. This goes far beyond a simple respray or re-trim. Clients can delve into heritage-inspired color matching to restore a vehicle to its authentic factory hue, or explore entirely original paint concepts to imbue their car with a unique, personal statement. The paint application itself utilizes advanced techniques, with details such as nitrogen-sprayed paint for a flawless finish being a hallmark of high-end restoration processes across the industry.
Interior restoration is equally comprehensive, with handcrafted bespoke interiors fashioned from the finest leathers, exquisite materials, and intricate stitching techniques. Each project is approached as a singular, one-of-one creation, guided by ECD's expert design team. This meticulous process ensures that whether it's a vintage European sports car or a beloved American muscle car, the interior will reflect both period authenticity and modern luxury, tailored precisely to the owner's specifications.
Elevating Restoration to a Global Art Form

Vicky Hay, CEO at ECD Automotive Design, emphasized the rationale behind this strategic expansion. "The demand has been undeniable," Hay stated. "Our clients and community have consistently asked for access to the same level of paintwork and interior craftsmanship that defines our builds. The Gallery by ECD is our answer, an opportunity to bring that artistry to any vehicle, in a more accessible and focused way."
This initiative solidifies ECD's evolution from a specialized restoration company to a comprehensive automotive customization house. It acknowledges a growing trend in the classic car market where owners are increasingly seeking bespoke services that enhance both the aesthetics and usability of their vehicles, without necessarily committing to a full, ground-up restoration. By offering these high-end services à la carte, ECD is not only expanding its business but also setting a new benchmark for quality and accessibility within the global restoration industry. For an international audience, this means that regardless of geographical location, the meticulous standards and artistic vision of a top-tier U.S. restorer are now available for individual component customization.
The move also reflects a broader understanding of the enduring appeal of classic cars. While some seek absolute concours-level originality, many enthusiasts desire a vehicle that combines vintage charm with personalized touches and modern finishing quality. "The Gallery by ECD" caters precisely to this demographic, promising an unparalleled level of detail and execution that can transform a vehicle's appearance and feel, making it truly unique while preserving its classic essence. This commitment to delivering deeply personal, design-driven vehicles aligns perfectly with ECD's broader mission to continuously innovate within the automotive space.
