Jerry Seinfeld's 1952 Porsche is an America Roadster. Only 17 were built. My client and friend, the late Walter (Wally) Kieckhefer, raced this same car at the Pebble Beach road races and other venues back in the '50's. In its last race, the America Roaster, driven by Wally was hit by Johnny Von Neumann in his Porsche 550 Spyder. Wally limped the car home to finish 3rd in that, it's final race. In about 2007, I drove my 356C to a job owned by Wally. He saw my car and asked if I was a Porsche enthusiast, to which i answered "Absolutely!" He later showed me his scrapbook of cars he had owned and raced. i was amazed at the early Porsches he had owned. A few of the photos showed this America Roadster, he called it his "Roadster". He said he had crashed it and had sold it shortly after through an ad in Road & Track. He lost track of the car after that. Through email and notices in the 356 Registry I was able to track down and verify that this car still existed. It was located in Southern California and had been restored to a very high level by John Wilhoit. The current and past owners had searched for the mysterious Pebble Beach driver but were never able to locate him. I contacted the then-owner and got Wally and him together. Wally still had the Pebble Beach "participant" plaque which he gave to the owner. Sometime after that Jerry Seinfeld purchased the car from this owner. I was able to convince Wally to attend the 2011 Porsche Race Car Classic (check it out on youtube and elsewhere) where he was reunited with his old "Roadster" and chatted with Mr. Seinfeld who brought this car AND the 550 Spyder that had crashed into him so many years ago.

I like how they take time to park right in the middle of the space .No "I'm a big celebrity and my cars worth xx

Classic cars like these are pretty much beautiful works of art

Farah's voice overides everything 🤣

Those old Porsche are beautiful

Cruising is a lost activity due to excessive traffic and the obsession to get some place fast . Cruising in a classic car IS the destination .

thanks for filming this

Being a car guy, and in the automotive industry my entire life so far, I really am appreciative of owners who drive rare cars. Anyone can build them, not everyone can skip the trailer and drive them everywhere. That is, after all, the purpose of these works of art

The guy in The Mask in the convertible, out in fresh air😂 ... last 20 seconds of the video.

That's me pulling into the parking lot with my Caterham 360R at 3:30 in the video. Unfortunately after some 2 years of a great event, the property manager closed down the Malibu County Mart at Cross Creek to our Sunday Morning Cars and Coffee in the fall of 2022, and raised the rent on the Malibu Kitchen, the gathering point where we all bought coffee and food, and put the woman owner out of business. :( The 2 remaining Cars & Coffee in greater Los Angeles are World Famous Supercar Sunday at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, and the Porsche Experience Center in Carson on the 3rd Sunday of each month.

It must be great for Jay, they’re have a meet and greet for a specific car so he just goes through his garages and pull one out! 🇨🇦

You two are Champions, I just L❤ve this!

Chick driving a vintage Alfa… super cool!

Its is nice to see Jerry out with Jay with all the other regular car guys just enjoying the hobby. Nice car Jerry. I hope you had a nice time. Im sure everyone enjoyed seeing you there.

If we all had that kind of money, we’d all have nice toys

The Zagato Porsche is my favourite

Beautiful pieces of rolling history. I love that they actually drive these classics and they just dust collecting garage queens. Those round things on the bottom of those cars are supposed to roll. If they weren’t designed that way, the cars would be on blocks. 😂

Reminds me of an old joke me and my pals had back when we were car nuts in our teens: if the turn signals don't work it is because the car cost more than 50K. Some really nice iron here but folks need to work on their safe driving habits. =)

Nice Porsche Jerry!

Looks like most of the crew, Spike, Zuckerman, Farah, Leno, Seinfeld, just missing Johnny Lieberman. :)

I get embarrassed for the people who act ridiculous around celebrities.

The paint on Jerry's is literally like a mirror.

I used to eat lunch at that place every week (the Malibu Country Store). A-list movie stars and rock stars just show up for a turkey sandwich, it's pretty cool!

This video is why I loved California. Sorry I left.

M3 - my love!

Awesome video, pleasure to see and hear all that rolling art

i never realized the economy was this bad , so many people driving old cars and even Jay Leno and Jerry must have fallen on hard times having to drive old cars

Man that’s a beautiful thing.

Jay. You have my Porsche.

Electric cars are great in all, im sure 0-60 in the 2's are a fun time. an engine's sound is the car's soul, imo. an electric car will never truly have what these cars sound like. some of these are just magnificent.

I have only heard about the Malibu Country Mart cars and coffee on podcasts. Two surprises: That place is much smaller than I imagined. Secondly, surprisingly few original cars. I should not be surprised, Americans love to over-restore or modify their cars, but I was surprised by how few original, honest cars were there.

My one and only time at this meet happened to be on the day this was filmed.

Millionaires with their toys, how cute!!!!!!

holy fuck thats cool. ID drive down from Vancouver to LA just go to one of these and HOPE any of of these guys were there. RIP Malibu Kitchen

I love that car, in fact if any car was an option to me it would be a Porsche 356 speedster

texting and driving LOL

That Zagato is also kind of cool. Once seen one at Peter Iversen in Denmark

Carrera at 4:06 is jonesin' for some Limo Tint. Icing on the cake

Brunette in Alfa GTA! Heaven!🎶😇

Yikesters on the added flares on the black looks like 75 Carrera.

to now i still watch it>>>>>my comic>>>>Toledo UT ,,,,,79 to 84

The Silver Zagato...OMG

These early Porsches were all built at a Volkswagen Factory in Bavaria, using many Volkswagen Parts even the chassis been by Volkswagen and the Engine been slightly better than a Beetle basicly speed been achieved by stlyle and light weight of the cars with Max speed around 180km considered fast only in 1952! Porsche started to make real fast cars only by 1962 on....

La-De-Da

The mega rich and their silly toys, and in a world of their own ! 😊

Jay Leno with his "dad" jeans.

Lov pedaling the HWY and getting food at the Market it is plush

Matt Farah and Spike Feresten as well.

Just waiting for Brad Garrett to ask Jerry when the last time he checked the oil, washer fluid, say he doesn’t even know the car, and take off with it. Lol

Jerry’s roadster, is very cool, had a great history. The only thing I don’t like about it are the leather hood straps which seem to be an anachronism on a great car like this.

I was in the Porsche club back in the 1990's and at the annual Porsche convention held in Massachusetts, Jerry was asked to speak at the convention and he said he would talk but only if he was paid for his time. Obviously he didn't speak since no one gets paid for their speaking at the convention it's volunteer and no other person has ever asked for money to talk at the convention

The dude at 7.30 mark wearing a mask sums up Ca. Native here.

Pretty sure that was Matt Farahs voice in the background.

I never like seinfield I didn't think it was funny but I respect his car collection he knows his porches

for me, the beige 911 E is the best.. but I would say that, coz I got one, in green, just like Jerrys 911S

It must be easy for Leno to pick out his clothes every day. Denim shirt and jeans.

I would've expected the Zagato to be Jay's.

100% Germanic Muscle

When was this filmed? Effspot 's most recent post showed they started valet only parking for Sunday.

Beside the insane old Porsches….. I’ll take the GTA at 3:50 ☘️

I thought the number plate was mocking poor people, put its "por" for Porche. 🤔😄

Motorcycle peeps - is that a Honda RC30 or RC45 I spot @ 0:56?

7:32 dad & daughter driving speedster w/ top down wearing masks. I can only shake my head.

WHAT IS IT with the 550 Spyder and so MANY accidents, crashes, and even fatalities with that particular model? (James Dean says hello.) I even recall an old Road and Track article from the mid-80's claiming that both amateur AND pro racers at that time got "bad vibes" from the 550, and were calling the factory directly in Stuttgart to complain about engineering flaws, road safety, and the lack thereof.....any thoughts?

What is that at 1:23? That is exceptionally beautiful

Love that attention don't they.

My man Matt Farah in his faboulous dad-core attire

i wouldn't be taking my car to that place.

What, no love for that beautiful Golden Green 911T parked next to Jerry ????

The most impressive thing in the video is the Alpha Romeo making it to the stop sign without breaking down.

Four minutes, 30 seconds is that a TR3 ?

1:25 what brand????

Me and Kaven stevens and Bob wheler

Well.i can at least relate to the MGB.

What, is that market a show-and-tell event for rich people?

Does Jerry ever get his hands dirty?

Those belt buckles on the hood make the car look so cheap

was that a 12 year old driving the E-type?

Sounds just like an air-cooled Beetle...

Wish Jay would find the remains Jimmy Deans 550

Dual engine lid grill in such an early car? Strange.

The difference between porcupines and red sports cars is the porcupine has the pricks on the outside.

Everyone's paparazzi now with their camera phones.

Driving a convertible Porsche wearing a mask, must be L.A.

Hopefully someone can give these guys $20 bucks for gas for the ride home

I always wanted to build my 89 E30M3 into the car BMW should have made but now I can't because it's worth too much stock

Kudos to the Mini owner at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9yDgdOX0L3GeoU.html for the C Croker plate! Charlie Croker in both "The Italian Job" movies

Very brave of Jay & Jerry to expose themselves to all these goofballs and lowlifes without any security. No, they can't just be "regular guys" anymore.

I’m surprised California still allows these cars to be driven on public roads. Pretty soon cars and coffee will require electric flatbeds to transport them to the event.

God. Freaking Matt Farah talking the whole time lol

He’s older than 52 and he’s definitely not poor 😂

What is this? Car Paradise? Nope, It is Cah-li-Foh-nia.

Oh how the other half live...

The 1952 Porsche is perfect except for the leather buckles. Why are they there? They could engineer a car like that but the only way to keep the hood down is to add luggage straps? They might look quaint on some cute classic micro cars but not on a Porsche.

A lot of those old Porsche's are jut Beetles with running shoes

Must be nice to have all that money.

Jerry a Jewish dude who drives a German car. Cool.

0:40 = this is F'n cool = tool, get away from my car.

Sadly soon all gas cars will be forbidden in EU and USA!!!

Yup, with $800,000,000 in your bank account. You can afford anything.
