Kendall Jenner breaks age-old Kardashian tradition as she’s spotted in a ‘new’ vintage car
Kendall Jenner was recently pictured behind the wheel of a vintage, 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 through the streets of sunny Los Angeles.
While her half-sister, Kim Kardashian, is typically seen driving around in more gaudy vehicles like her $96,390 Cybertruck and 2024 Rolls-Royce Ghost, which starts at $354,750, the supermodel, 28, looked at ease in her more low-profile car.
Her SUV, which is know to be a very reliable automobile, was purchased from Brian Corsetti’s company, Corsetti Cruisers, over the summer.
Corsetti, 44, confirmed to DailyMail.com that his company built the car for Jenner.
‘She knows way more about cars than anyone thinks. She’s not just a collector. She’s a true gear head with style,’ he said of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum.

As for her car, Corsetti said ‘everything was meticulously restored to turn this classic SUV into a modern daily driver with better power, better handling, better gas mileage and boosted technology.’
He noted that he designed it to give ‘her the coolest driving experience that she loves about cars.’
The footage showed every angle of the beige four-door wagon, which was restored four years ago and has racing stripes down the sides.
Last month, the 818 Tequila founder ‘liked’ a video of a 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 on Corsetti Cruisers’ Instagram account.
Jenner, whose extensive car collection is estimated to be worth around $2.3 million, previously told CNN Style that buying vintage cars is her ‘weird addiction.’
‘Some people get addicted to tattoos, I’m addicted to cars,’ she admitted back in 2017. ‘If I love it, I love it. If I walk in and it really gets to me, I’m like okay, I need that car.’
The Vogue cover girl explained that it is ‘kind of an LA thing to love cars because all you want to do is drive when you’re younger.’
As for how her obsession with cars started, Jenner said she ‘was raised to be a tomboy’ by her father, Caitlyn Jenner.

‘My dad raised me to love stuff like this. I was always into dirt bikes, four-wheelers. I don’t know, I’ve just always been into it,’ she recalled.
Additionally, she has acquired a ‘tiny collection’ at her house, which includes a ’56 Corvette, the Mustang and a Rolls-Royce, gifted to her by a stranger on her 21st birthday.
The reality star also reflected on how ‘every car that’ she gets into changes her mood in a different way.
‘Like my Corvette, even though it technically is a muscle car, it’s a ’50s car, so it doesn’t feel as muscular, and I feel very girly in it, and I feel I have to dress a certain way, like wear very winged sunglasses,’ she mused.

Despite already receiving the vehicle, she failed her driving test, twice, as a teen for forgetting to use her blinker.
After more than a decade with her license, she has become a pro on the road and can even drive stick.
