About Symbolic International

Over three decades ago, Marc and Bernie Chase assembled a remarkable team to create Vintage Motor Car Company. After successfully growing their business, they seized the opportunity to acquire a prestigious location in La Jolla and became Symbolic Motor Car Company.

 

This pivotal acquisition transformed them from a small dealer into a prominent dealer. They became the official dealer for brands such as Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti and Rolls Royce. Shortly thereafter, Patrick Van Schoote became a partner at Symbolic Motor Car Company, where he played a crucial role in driving the brand's international expansion into Europe, UK and Japan. This marked the beginning of their ascent as a major player in the collectible and racing car market. Over the years, they have diversified into aviation, art, and more, establishing ventures like Symbolic Aviation and Symbolic International.

 

Today, they have evolved into Symbolic International, seamlessly bringing their dealership into the future. By leveraging innovative online marketplaces like Bring a Trailer, they have transformed their sales approach, making it easier than ever for clients to engage with their exceptional inventory. This forward-thinking strategy reflects their commitment to staying at the forefront of the automotive industry while continuing to celebrate their rich legacy.
