KISSIMMEE, Fla., Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Automotive Design, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECDA), ("ECD" or the "Company"), an industry leader in building and selling restored, modified and electrified Land Rover Defenders, Jaguar E-Types, Ford Mustangs, and Toyota FJs is set to debut its first retail presence through a strategic relationship with One Drivers Club in West Palm Beach. This strategic collaboration positions ECD as a new, prestigious retailer at One Drivers Club's luxury automotive destination, marking a significant expansion for ECD into retail and physical experiences for both companies.

The 4,800-square-foot space near "Billionaire's Row" will serve as both a shared clubhouse, sales showroom and an immersive design center. This showroom will allow ECD clients to personalize custom builds across ECD's lineup—from Land Rover Defenders and Jaguar E-Types to Mustangs and Toyota FJs. The strategic relationship leverages One Drivers Club's high-traffic location and robust national membership, providing ECD an introduction to a discerning community of car collectors and enthusiasts.

Tom Humble, Founder and Chief Experience Officer at ECD, comments, "This collaboration with One Drivers Club is a milestone for ECD. By establishing our first physical location, we're elevating our sales experience, offering clients the chance to engage hands-on with our bespoke design process. This move aligns with our commitment to an end-to-end, concierge-level service that takes luxury car restoration to the next level."

"Welcoming ECD as a front-of-house retailer at One Drivers Club is an exciting step in elevating our Members' experience. ECD's prestigious reputation and unparalleled design expertise perfectly complements our commitment to a seamless, end-to-end driving experience," adds John Belniak, CEO, One Drivers Club. "Our Members now have access to additional resources for collection management and an exceptional design showroom to explore their next custom build."

In addition to showcasing ECD's custom design services, the shared showroom will host a curated display of One Drivers Club's vehicle collection, blending ECD's design-forward approach with One Drivers Club's dedication to superior collection management. The collaboration opens up the potential for joint events and programs that deepen engagement and expand services for One Drivers Club's Members and new ECD clients, locally and nationwide.
