Howard Stern Gets Brutally Honest About Jerry Seinfeld's Comments Before Publicly Defending Him

Howard Stern addressed Jerry Seinfeld's public controversies, including what the comedian said about his radio show.

However, his crown jewel is said to be the 1949 Porsche 356/2 Gmund, which was only one of fifty hand-built cars built in Porsche’s first factory in Austria. He also spent $650,000 to purchase and restore a Porsche 911 – the first of its kind imported to the United States. The vehicle had previously been owned by Ferry Porsche, the son of Porsche’s founder.

According to the Porsche retailer in Palm Springs, Jerry Seinfeld is said to be the most prolific Porsche collector in the world. They note that he has bought and auctioned off so many that it’s impossible to know the exact number of Porsches he has in his collection at any given time, but they believe that number to be around fifty.

Even though it’s illegal to drive in the United States, Jerry Seinfeld also owns one of the only three-hundred and thirty-seven Porsche 959s ever made.

Although the supercharged engine made it illegal to drive on public roads, Jerry paid $700,000 for the Porsche 959. While he might not be able to take it out for a spin on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, it still makes a pretty valuable Porsche to keep in his collection.

So why are celebrities so drawn to Porsche cars? As Jerry Seinfeld once said on an episode of CNBC’s Jay Leno’s Garage, “This little car is the essence of sports-car perfection.”

Although fans continue to love the stand-up comedian's quirks, including his massive Porsche collection, Jerry Seinfeld's recent behavior sparked concern that he might be ill. While there's no definitive word on whether he's in good health, at least Jerry's cars continue to make him happy.
