After a 5 year run in the collector vehicle markets, 2023 was tumultuous, but 2024 is stabilizing and showing signs of improvement. That trend continued in the 3rd quarter, as sellers are finally coming to terms with market values and buyers expectations. With the collector truck and 4x4 markets remaining strong and balancing out, the opportunity is there for future growth in certain areas.
Generational change continues to drive the truck and 4x4 markets, as the 35-55 year old demographic fuels their insatiable appetite for these vehicles. Some years, makes and models are performing well and some are struggling due to over supply and shifting trends.

A decade ago, Stephen and Willie Holden founded Holden Brothers Diesel in the face of adversity in a cow barn. Eventually, their adversity turned into success which lead them from that cow barn to their current brand new state of the art massive build shop, with a few shops in between.
