Bio

Charles Hamly (General Manager) became a “car guy” at an early age, and has spent over 30 years working in the automotive aftermarket. He began his career as an installer in the car stereo industry, culminating his two–decade career as Manager of a major multi-store chain of installation shops spanning the Washington Metropolitan Area. After car stereo, Charles transitioned into automotive restoration and collection management. Working with well-known collectors, he oversaw the restoration and maintenance of a variety of vintage vehicles, ranging in value between $50,000 and $10,000,000. He has had the opportunity to road-test everything from a Stanley Steamer to one of the original 26 Ford GT-40 street cars. He has also driven a number of ultra-rare 1950s Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and was instrumental in bringing these cars to the world’s premiere automotive stages such as the Pebble Beach Concours and many others. As a Client Relations and Project Manager, Charles garnered the respect of his clients and his colleagues over the years for his vast knowledge and unfailing trustworthiness.
In his spare time, Charles works on his own vintage vehicles, and enjoys attending local car shows and gatherings. His current collection includes several Pontiac GTOs, a Pantera GTS, and a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon.
