After a banner year in 2025, the first quarter of 2026 continued to build momentum—demonstrating strength and setting new records. In this episode, Chris is joined by Brian Ellis, Co-Founder and CEO of Fourbie Exchange. Together, they discuss recent market performance and share their outlook on the broader collector vehicle, truck, and 4x4 markets, including marketplace dynamics and which vehicles are emerging as winners, losers, and present buying opportunities.The collector vehicle market remained strong through Q1 2026, led by the truck and 4x4 segment. Our outlook has shifted to cautiously optimistic as the macroeconomic environment evolves, with global unrest driving inflation and increased volatility in the equity markets. While these pressures are impacting certain pockets of the collector vehicle space, the majority of the market remains resilient.Overall, the market continues to favor sellers, though strategic opportunities still exist for buyers. Ongoing generational shifts are fueling demand and supporting values for trucks and 4x4s—further solidifying this segment as the emerging “blue-chip” category within the collector vehicle market.Follow, Like and subscribe to the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and your podcast listing platform.  Check out our website at classic4x4.com and reach out if we can help you sell your classic, vintage or collector truck or 4x4.
