About Us

Velocity and its portfolio of brands are the nation’s leading builders of Re-Engineered Classics™, redefining what it means to own a classic.

Success at Velocity requires a “whatever it takes” mentality. We embody grit , demonstrating perseverance, resilience, and unwavering determination in the face of challenges.

Finally, our ambition fuels our drive to excel, improve, and uphold the highest standards for both personal and professional growth. This mindset defines who we are and ensures our continued success.
