KISSIMMEE, Fla. - ECD Automotive Design, Inc. (NASDAQ:ECDA), a restoration company specializing in custom luxury vehicles with $24.6 million in trailing twelve-month revenue, announced Thursday it has exchanged $10 million of outstanding convertible promissory notes for 15,000 newly issued shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
