On this episode, Chris, Stephen and Willie discuss how two brothers from the Texas hill country with nothing to loose went from fixing diesel trucks in a cow barn to a brand new massive build shop that produces epic trucks. They also chat about how their humble upbringing and creativity has been instrumental in their success and lead them to a nationally syndicated TV show, Holden Bros. Restos on MotorTrend TV.
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. Willie's relentless drive and Stephen's creative vision have driven their success to become one of the top truck builders in the country!

Mid Year Truck & 4x4 Market Update with Chris Picconi, Classic 4x4 & Brian Ellis, Fourbie Exchange

On this episode, Chris is joined by guest co-host Brian Ellis, Founder and CEO of Fourbie Exchange. They talk about the performance and their outlook on the truck and 4x4 markets, winners and losers in the market and marketplace integrity.
After a tumultuous 2023 in the collector vehicle markets, 2024 is stabilizing and showing signs of appreciation. Generational change continues to drive the truck and 4x4 markets, as the 35-55 year old demographic fuels their insatiable appetite for these vehicles. Though certain years, makes and models are performing well, some are still struggling due to over supply and shifting trends.
Not all marketplaces are created equal! Marketplaces are essential to bringing liquidity and transparency to the collector vehicle markets. Efficient and respected marketplaces operate with balance, integrity and trusted buyers and sellers. Unfortunately, as the popularity of the collector vehicle markets has grown, imbalanced marketplaces with compromised integrity and untrustworthy buyers and sellers have started to plague our enthusiast community.
