Kristie’s love of cars began in the garage with her father. A proud believer in American engineering, he only ever bought American-made cars. Weekends were spent under the hood, listening to The Car Doctor on the radio, and hearing stories of muscle cars and midnight drives. It was in those quiet, formative moments that she fell in love — not just with cars, but with the craftsmanship and culture surrounding them.

​

Years later, she met Eric — a fellow engineer and car lover whose family has a long tradition of restoring American classics, the kind of rare, character-filled machines most people have never heard of. Their shared passion turned into a vision: not just to make a car, but to create a new standard for American ultra-luxury — one rooted in legacy and handcrafted performance, and built with the full power of modern technology.

​

Together, Kristie and Eric founded Dacora to honor where they came from, and to build what had never existed before.

​

A car you feel.
A car with soul.
A car that proves America belongs in the conversation at the very top.
