From its humble beginnings as the slow and unreliable horseless carriage, the automobile has become an indispensable tool that is an ingrained part of modern-day life. Serving as the primary means of motorized transport for millions of people, the car and its derivatives help society function today.

For either personal or business use, purchasing and owning a vehicle in 2020 has never been easier compared to a few decades ago with so many options and means of shopping for one available.

There are some individuals, however, that because of their fame and immense wealth have the capacity to purchase extraordinary vehicles for a less practical, and more leisurely reason. Car collecting, which is the pursuit and acquisition of cars based on their brand, type, or personal preference of the collector, is an expensive and engrossing hobby (or even business) that only high net worth individuals are capable of. For this article, we'll look at one of the most popular and prolific collectors in the world, Jerry Seinfeld, and the coolest cars in his collection.

10 1957 Fiat 500

Fiat 500

One of the few non-performance cars in Jerry Seinfeld's garage is this fun little Fiat 500 "Jolly" which features an open-air, doorless body and a café looking interior with wicker seats and fabric canopy roofing. Colored in vibrant orange with whitewall tires, this Fiat is the cool tiny car in a garage full of sports cars.

9 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Karmann Ghia

While not as prestigious or expensive as the other German cars in Seinfeld's garage, this 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is still a cool classic worthy of a spot in the comedian's garage.

The result of a brilliant collaboration between two prominent car companies, the design is by Italy's Carrozzeria Ghia, while the hand-built coach is by Karmann. To this day, the classic VW has managed to retain its appeal and coolness.

8 1995 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

A must-have for any serious car collector with a sizable budget is the Mercedes Gullwing. Featured in an episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, where he took SNL’s Lorne Michaels out for a spin, Seinfeld's white Gullwing was an immaculate example that had onlookers stretching their necks as it passed by.

Revolutionary when it first launched, this Mercedes is among the few cars that have reached total icon status because of its current value and timeless design.

7 Aston Martin DB5

Aston Martin DB5

As a result of its long term James Bond connection, the popularity and value of the car has continued to grow and has again defined its place in automotive movie history following the latest Bond film releases.

The Aston Martin DB5 is a capable and powerful car that has captured the imagination and admiration of its fans for the last 50 years. With its appearance in Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee Jerry Seinfeld has shown his fans the level of exclusivity and prestige his collection is at.

6 1949 Porsche 356  “Gmünd”

Porsche 356

One of the rarest and most stunning Porsches in Seinfeld’s collection is his 1949 Porsche 365, a postwar Porsche that contributed to the design language of the brand for the next several decades. As one of the first cars in its production run (Seinfeld’s is the 40th car built), Seinfeld has taken care to preserve the car and keep all of its original parts intact despite its advanced age.

5 1970 Porsche 911S

911S

A '70s era Porsche painted in green, this 911 "Henri" is a beauty owing to its simplicity. With its engineering and development based on the lessons learned from Porsche's racing efforts, this 911 model came to the market powered by a rear-mounted 180-hp, six-cylinder boxer engine, and received an updated and revised suspension from its predecessor B17 series.

4 1971 Ferrari 365 Daytona

365 Daytona

As a cool way to break from the monotony of Porsches, Jerry Seinfeld has a yellow Ferrari that was shown in an episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

His 1971 Daytona is an expensive classic that is one of the best examples of the late '60s to '70s wedge styling. Interestingly, despite its poor reputation for reliability, this disco era Ferrari commands a quarter of a million dollars in today's market.

3 1994 Porsche 964 "Flachbau"

964 Turbo

The special edition Porsche 964 "Flachbau" which means "flat-nose" in German, is one of the more expensive Porsche's with an estimated worth of up to $1.3 million. Its 964 designation is actually an internal company name for the same vintage 911. A powerful Porsche for its era, this 911 had a 360 hp engine that powered its race car derivatives to several endurance racing wins.

2 1969 Lamborghini Miura

Miura

Initially starting out as a secret side project of Lamborghini engineers, the widely celebrated Miura is a car that has kept its mystique and charisma many decades after it was first shown to the world. Considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made, this Lamborghini is one of the main reasons why Seinfeld's car collection is envied by even his fellow collectors.

1 Porsche Carrera GT

Carrera Gt

With the many classic Porsches in Jerry Seinfeld's collection, perhaps one of the best is a not so old 2004 Carrera GT model that showcased the styling and performance evolution of the brand. With a 5.7-liter V10 engine producing 612 hp, the Carrera GT is a 208 mph supercar that brings its Le Mans racing pedigree to the streets.
