What's this? Comedian Jerry Seinfeld consigns 18 cars from his collection with Gooding & Co. for this years Amelia Island auction in March. This isn't really a joke, but we think it could be funny watching the auction activity.

When great cars come to the auction block, things can get really interesting. Jerry's cars are very interesting, and we can only assume the bidding will be even more interesting.

The comedian offers some insight, “Each one of these cars is a pinnacle of mechanical culture to me. Many are the best examples that exist in the world,” stated Jerry Seinfeld. "I’ve loved being entrusted with their care, and I’m proud of the level to which we have brought each and every one of these wonderful machines. Honestly, if I had unlimited time, space and attention span I would never sell one of them. And the reason I wanted to bid these cars farewell in this way is really just to see the look of excitement on the faces of the next owners who I know will be out of their minds with joy that they are going to get to experience them. My enthusiasm for this pursuit remains quite insane and I am very fortunate to have many other cars I get to look after.”

As Porsche enthusiast, this will be a real treat. We love the comments from Seinfeld, and we are glad he is sharing part of his car collection with other enthusiast.

Any of these cars would be great to own. One of the cars on the list was a surprise to us.

This is a 1958 Porsche 597 Jagdwagen, an interesting and a little unknown to most Porsche automotive enthusiast. Porsche developed the prototype in 1953. This 5-speed, air cooled machine produced 50hp propelling its 2,178lb frame to a little over 60mph. A total of 71 were produced. What a treat! The Jagdwagen, a Porsche military vehicle was a car we really (honestly) didn't know Porsche made. At first, we thought it was a WWII Volkswagen and the Porsche name was a Gooding&Co typo. Why did Porsche make a Military vehicle in 1958? We can only assume it was an attempt to expand a vehicle offering to help fund the racing addiction.
