Ecd Automotive Design (NASDAQ: ECDA), a leader in reimagining classic cars, is excited to share its latest achievements on the national automotive stage. Recently, the company won significant accolades with its bespoke builds, including the exceptional Jaguar E-Type known as "The Wellesley Commission" and the stunning Ford Mustang dubbed "Project Ghost '67." These outstanding designs have captivated automotive enthusiasts and judges alike.
The Wellesley Commission: A Handcrafted Masterpiece
One of ECD's most celebrated creations, The Wellesley Commission, is a one-of-a-kind Jaguar E-Type Series III. This custom vehicle has been reengineered to blend modern performance with the iconic features of the original 1960s model. Sporting the illustrious British Racing Green exterior and plush Spinneybeck Veluto Pelle interior, it truly embodies an elegant design that resonates with fans of classic automobiles.
Recognition at the British Car Day
The Wellesley Commission received First Place at the prestigious Larz Anderson Auto Museum’s British Car Day. This event is acclaimed for honoring vehicles that exemplify British automotive heritage. ECD’s co-founder and CEO, Scott Wallace, expressed his pride, stating, “To have one of our builds honored at a museum so closely tied to British automotive heritage is incredibly rewarding. The Wellesley Commission represents everything we strive for — craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless design.”
Project Ghost '67: A Bold American Muscle Build
In a significant shift from its British origins, ECD introduces Project Ghost '67, marking the company's first fully bespoke Ford Mustang. This 1967 fastback is a masterful blend of classic American muscle and modern performance standards. Equipped with a powerful 465 horsepower Roush V8 engine, it showcases ECD’s commitment to engineering excellence.
Acknowledgment at the Route 66 Road Fest
Project Ghost '67 earned Best of Class in the Modified Muscle Car division at the Route 66 Road Fest, a celebration dedicated to American automotive culture. Elliot Humble, the company’s co-founder and Chief Technical Officer, remarked, “Winning Best of Class with our very first custom Mustang validates our vision to expand beyond Land Rovers and Jaguars.
