VALLEJO, Calif.—February 5, 2026 — Kindred Motorworks, the Vallejo, California–based manufacturer of modernized classic vehicles, today announced BRAM Auto Group as its second U.S. dealer and first on the East Coast.

Kindred Motorworks reimagines iconic vehicles by blending their timeless design and character with modern safety, reliability, and performance. Kindred currently offers both internal combustion and electric powertrain options, but has heavily invested in its proprietary ‘Grayback’ EV technology.

Each Kindred vehicle, from beloved Ford Broncos to classic Volkswagen buses, is fully re-engineered to be driven and enjoyed every day. All builds are backed by a comprehensive warranty and supported by modern service infrastructure, a rarity in the vintage vehicle space.

“BRAM was eager to become a Kindred dealer because we believe their vehicles represent the finest craftsmanship in the category,” said John Iacono, President of BRAM Auto Group. “Their scalable production model also allows dealers to seamlessly step in and add meaningful value for customers.”

“BRAM’s dealership portfolio attracts luxury and tech-forward drivers and their reputation for customer experience is exemplary, so we know they understand our customer base and the standards they expect,” said Rob Howard, CEO of Kindred Motorworks.

The Kindred development team optimizes and catalogs every phase of the restoration and reengineering process, delivering vehicles in less than half the time required by traditional local shops. This vertically integrated approach significantly increases quality, lowers costs, and enables Kindred to scale production, including the large-scale conversion of vintage gas-powered vehicles into vintage electric cars.

BRAM Auto Group joins Sewell Automotive of Texas, which was named Kindred Motorworks’ first dealer in 2025.
