Luxury & Collectible Vehicle Dealership in La Jolla
Founded over three decades ago, Symbolic International began as Vintage Motor Car Company under the leadership of Marc and Bernie Chase. Our journey from a small dealership to a prominent automotive authority was marked by the acquisition of a prestigious La Jolla location, where we became the official dealer for luxury brands including Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, and Rolls Royce. With Patrick Van Schoote joining as a partner, we expanded internationally into Europe, the UK, and Japan, establishing ourselves as a major force in the collectible and racing car market. Over time, we diversified into aviation and art through ventures like Symbolic Aviation and Symbolic International, evolving into a forward-thinking global enterprise. Our innovative use of online marketplaces such as Bring a Trailer has redefined our sales approach, making it easier for clients to access our exceptional inventory while honoring our rich legacy.

With decades of combined experience, our team of experts delivers unparalleled service in luxury automotive sales, international logistics, and high-value asset acquisition. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our partnerships with leading manufacturers, our curated inventory of rare vehicles, and our ability to meet the unique needs of discerning collectors worldwide. We maintain strict adherence to professional standards, ensuring transparency, integrity, and client satisfaction in every transaction. Our La Jolla headquarters serves as a hub for automotive enthusiasts, investors, and collectors seeking premium vehicles and bespoke services. Through continuous adaptation to market trends and technological advancements, we remain at the forefront of the luxury automotive industry while preserving the craftsmanship and heritage that define our brand.
