446: The Art of the Automobile with René Staud + Porsche Market Updates
What happens when a passion for automobiles meets the eye of one of the world's most celebrated automotive photographers? And what's happening with Porsche values in today's collector car marketplace? In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, we're covering two fascinating sides of the collector car hobby: the art of capturing great automobiles and the changing values of Porsche's most collectible models. First, I'm joined by René Staud, the legendary German automotive photographer whose extraordinary work has captured some of the world's most beautiful and significant automobiles. René takes us inside his creative world, sharing his passion for automotive photography, the development of his innovative lighting techniques, and the remarkable studio he has built in Germany. From iconic Porsches and Ferraris to some of the rarest automobiles ever produced, René's photography has helped define how generations of enthusiasts appreciate automotive design. We discuss the artistry, technology, and attention to detail that go into creating images that are as memorable as the cars themselves. Then, we shift gears to the Porsche collector car market for an update on valuations across the brand's history. Using the latest available Hagerty valuation data, we explore which Porsche models are appreciating, which are experiencing softer values, and where collectors may find opportunities. From air-cooled 911s and the transaxle models to modern performance Porsches, we'll take a closer look at the trends shaping today's market. Two very different perspectives on the cars we love: one through the camera lens and the other through the marketplace. Whether you're passionate about automotive photography, Porsche history, or collector car values, there's something in this episode for you!
