Our Story
Braemore Ventures was created to bring structure and professionalism to a passion for classic automobiles. Instead of treating vintage cars as purely sentimental objects, we treat them as working assets that can support productions, venues, and events while preserving their character.
Braemore’s work is grounded in a long history of restoring and preserving classic cars, with hands-on experience refurbishing over 100 vintage vehicles over the past decade. We are long time Packard connoisseurs, with a passion for many other makes and models including classic Mercedes Benz, American classics, and other independent makes. That depth of practical preservation and restoration knowledge informs how each car is selected, maintained, and presented—so every vehicle looks right, feels authentic, and is ready for the spotlight when it arrives on site.
Based in Central Virginia, Braemore primarily serves the Charlottesville and Richmond areas, across Virginia, and surrounding states
Our Team
Braemore Ventures is a family-run business, managed and operated by three generations who share a deep, long-standing commitment to classic automobiles. What began as a personal passion for old Packards and other classic brands has grown into a small, focused company that treats each vehicle as both a piece of history and a working asset.
At the leadership level, Braemore is guided by a CEO with engineering and business graduate education from MIT and Wharton, bringing a structured, analytical approach to everything from vehicle selection to logistics and risk management. That formal background is complemented by supporting members who have decades of tacit, hands-on knowledge earned in garages, workshops, and on the road—restoring and refurbishing classic cars, sourcing parts, and solving the thousand small problems that come with keeping vintage vehicles alive.
Younger and older generations alike are involved in the day-to-day operation of the business, from preservation and detailing to on-site coordination at shoots and events, as well as the refurbishing/restoration of selected cars offered for sale from time to time. Across the family, the focus is the same: a genuine passion for classic cars and pride in the work. Every vehicle is meticulously cared for —selected for its character, prepared to remain true to its era, and maintained by people who love these cars as much as you love the project they’re part of.
