ECD Automotive Design, Inc. announced that it entered into a licensing agreement with Black Dog Traders to produce branded classic Toyota FJ SUVs at their Kissimmee, FL facility. The license agreement provides ECD access to Black Dog Trader?s IP, branding and top of funnel marketing support in exchange for a fee and royalty per vehicle sale. Black Dog Traders has a rich history in restoration and modification of classic Toyota FJ SUVs for the past decade.

Toyota FJ SUVs, with their unique blend of classic charm and rugged adventure, have garnered a devoted following among classic car enthusiasts. Black Dog Traders, renowned for their premium custom-built FJs, will now lend their expertise to ECD. This strategic relationship will not only allow Black Dog Traders to scale up their operations but also provide ECD with another avenue to produce high-end custom classic vehicles.

Producing the FJs allows ECD to meaningfully expand its total addressable market and enhance its industry leading margins at a luxury price point and a fully bespoke customization package. ECD also believes that the classic Toyota FJ is perfectly suited to be equipped with the company?s Generation Two EV kit.
