MIAMI, FL – February 2, 2026 – duPont REGISTRY, the world’s ultimate luxury automotive ecosystem, today announced the acquisition of West Coast Exotic Cars in Southern California and the upcoming grand opening of a new location in Naples, Florida. These moves are in continuation of evolution in duPont REGISTRY’s physical footprint designed to strengthen its global network of partners and collectors.
Strengthening the Global Network
The acquisition of West Coast Exotic Cars represents a commitment to establishing regional hubs that serve as high-touch Operations and Experience Centers. These additional locations act as physical extensions of the duPont REGISTRY brand, including duPont REGISTRY Live and Petrolicious presence with marketplace and online auction platforms, providing the community with locations for consignments, storage, inspections, detailing and added value services.
“Our goal is to build a stronger bridge between our digital audience, our clients and our trusted network of dealership partners,” said Chad Cunningham, CEO of duPont REGISTRY Live. “By expanding our physical presence, we are creating more opportunities to showcase the lifestyle, foster collector communities, and ultimately drive deeper engagement across our entire automotive business.”
Eric Curran, Founder of West Coast Exotic Cars, said: “I grew up reading duPont REGISTRY magazine as a kid, and it has always been the premier name associated with the exotic car world. As a racing driver and two-time IMSA Daytona Prototype Championship driver, I am ecstatic to have my West Coast Exotic Cars brand and locations added to the prestigious duPont REGISTRY brand.
“I now take on the role of ‘President of Sales’ for the duPont REGISTRY brand and continue operations of existing California, Naples, Nashville and Miami showrooms as well as future showrooms. With my history in the auto racing and dealership world I move to supporting duPont REGISTRY’s expansion and contribute to the growth of their world-class locations, events and experiences.”
A Flagship Presence in Naples
Furthering this expansion, the grand opening of the duPont REGISTRY Naples Experience Center will occur on February 3. The opening is timed to coincide with the 22nd Annual Cars on 5th Concours, one of the most prestigious automotive gatherings in the country, and a part of duPont REGISTRY Group.
Located in the heart of the Naples automotive scene, this center will serve as a premier destination for duPont REGISTRY’s community, offering a sophisticated environment for enthusiasts to gather during the Naples Automotive Experience and beyond.
Strategic Highlights:
● Ecosystem Growth: Enhances duPont REGISTRY’s ability to offer bespoke services, including private collection management and exclusive event access.
● Community Hubs: Provides dedicated spaces for partner dealerships to engage with ultra-high-net-worth clients in key markets.
● Event Integration: The Naples location will debut as a central hub for the Cars on 5th Concours, highlighting duPont REGISTRY’s role as a leader in automotive lifestyle and heritage.
“We aren't just expanding our footprint; we are deepening our roots in the car culture,” added Cunningham. “The Naples and Southern California location added to our existing locations in Nashville and Miami allow us to better support our clients, partners and our audience by providing localized expertise and world-class environments for the automotive community to thrive.”
