FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - BostonChron -- Archive, MetroWest Boston's private social club for the collector class, today announced that Curtis Griffin of Torque Motorcar has been named the club's Luxury Automotive Curator, giving members access to a high-touch automotive program designed for luxury, exotic, classic, collector, and performance automobiles.

Archive is a private luxury social club located on the Framingham/Natick line on Route 9. Built around collector culture, Curator expertise, elevated hospitality, and modern luxury, Archive brings together members who value exceptional cars, watches, wine and spirits, travel, cuisine, private events, brand partnerships, and the company of like-minded people.

As Archive's Luxury Automotive Curator, Curtis Griffin will provide members with trusted expertise across the automotive ownership experience, including vehicle sourcing, acquisition support, sales guidance, negotiation assistance, logistics coordination, paperwork coordination, detailing, service coordination, transport, secure storage, showroom display, collection management, and automotive market guidance.

Torque Motorcar was founded by Griffin as a bespoke automotive concierge and advisory firm representing private clients navigating the acquisition, sale, and curation of exceptional automobiles. The firm was created to deliver a more refined, relationship-driven alternative for high-value automotive transactions, with an emphasis on trust, precision, access, and a true white-glove experience.

"Cars are the foundation of Archive's culture, and luxury automotive expertise is one of the most important benefits we can provide to our members," said Bob Laughrea, co-founder of Archive. "Curtis understands the world of exceptional automobiles at the level our members expect. He brings the relationships, discretion, taste, and precision required to help members source, care for, display, and enjoy some of the most desirable cars in the world."

Through this new Curator relationship, Archive members will be able to bring a luxury, exotic, classic, collector, or performance vehicle to the club and have it detailed, serviced, prepared, stored, transported, or showcased while they relax in the lounge, work from the club, entertain guests, or connect with fellow members.

The program is designed to make luxury and collector car ownership easier, more enjoyable, and more connected. Whether a member is looking to acquire a Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, vintage classic, or other significant automobile, Archive's Luxury Automotive Curator will provide the expertise, relationships, and discretion needed to make the process seamless.

"Archive is creating exactly the kind of environment the luxury automotive community deserves," said Curtis Griffin, founder of Torque Motorcar and Luxury Automotive Curator at Archive. "For the right owner, a car is never just transportation. It is design, performance, craftsmanship, memory, and identity. As Archive's Luxury Automotive Curator, my role is to help members access the right cars, make informed decisions, protect what they own, and enjoy the experience of ownership in a more elevated and effortless way."

Torque Motorcar manages the acquisition and sale process end-to-end, helping clients with sourcing, negotiations, logistics, and paperwork to create a clear, efficient experience without the typical friction. At Archive, that expertise will now become part of the broader member experience.

In addition to sourcing and acquisition support, the Luxury Automotive Curator program will help members with the practical details that often accompany luxury and collector car ownership. Members may use Archive as a trusted resource for coordinating service, preparing a vehicle for sale or display, arranging transport, managing storage needs, or getting market guidance before buying or selling a significant automobile.

"Archive was created to make the exceptional feel effortless," added Laughrea. "A member should be able to bring a car to the club, hand the keys to a trusted expert, and know that everything will be handled with the same standard of care they expect from the world's best luxury brands. That is what Curtis and Torque bring to Archive."

The Luxury Automotive Curator is the first in a series of Archive Curator announcements. Archive Curators are dedicated category experts who help members access, understand, acquire, and enjoy the best in modern luxury. In addition to luxury automotive, Archive will feature Curators across timepieces, wine and spirits, travel, and cuisine.

While cars are central to Archive's culture, membership is not limited to car owners. Members do not need to own an exotic car, store a vehicle, or participate in the automotive side of the club to belong. Archive is designed for people who appreciate exceptional products, experiences, service, and community.

Archive is now accepting membership inquiries and welcoming partnership conversations.
