ATLANTA (Aug. 11, 2026) – Vintage Modern, Inc. has been named No. 1,646 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment: independent, entrepreneurial businesses.
The recognition marks the second Inc. 5000 appearance for founder and CEO Chau Nguyen, whose previous company earned a spot on the list four consecutive times from 2010 to 2013. After founding and exiting two technology ventures, including Campus Special, acquired by Chegg, and Hirewire, acquired by Seasoned, Nguyen launched Vintage Modern with a vision to create an entirely new vehicle category: a classic-inspired luxury vehicle equipped with today’s safety features and technology.
Today, the Atlanta-based company handcrafts more than 250 vehicles annually, devoting over 900 hours to every build. Each vehicle pairs classic-inspired design with a fully modern platform and is FMVSS-compliant, crash-tested and equipped with airbags. With a global following of more than 4 million enthusiasts and a clientele of celebrities, athletes, collectors and luxury lovers around the world, Vintage Modern has emerged as a disruptive force in the luxury automotive market.
“Vintage Modern started with a problem I knew personally and a passion for classic cars. I loved their design and character, but not the breakdowns, the uncertainty or the lack of modern safety features – especially when my wife was not comfortable having our children ride in one. We set out to give people the classic look they have always wanted without the compromises of owning a classic,” said Nguyen.
“Seeing our approach resonate with clients around the world makes this Inc. 5000 recognition especially meaningful. Being named an EY US Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 Southeast Award winner earlier this year makes this moment even more special. As we prepare to bring that same philosophy to an iconic new vehicle, we are excited about what lies ahead.”
The companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 are ranked by percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. Among this year’s honorees, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130 percent, and together the companies added more than 627,000 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still. Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance – it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement,” said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc.
The complete 2026 Inc. 5000 results, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location and other criteria, can be found at inc.com/inc5000. Honorees will be celebrated at the annual Inc. 5000 Conference, October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas.
