What I love most about Jay Leno's Garage is it's basically a history lesson about cars from the beginning and goes so far in depth of information I always learn something from watching. Keep up the great work!

@shepherdsknoll 2 года назад

Jay is a great historian, not only of automotive, engines, motors, and machinery but also of celebrity personalities that he has interviewed over the years.

@vindivergilio3482 Год назад

Beautiful piece. As a retired Firefighter, I appreciate the history. Great job!

Andy Swift Great to see him on Jay's TV show about Keeping the these old pieces of art and history going for future generations to enjoy and learn from. I am very happy to say that he restored our fire company's 1921 American LaFrance, His craftsmanship and accuracy in his restorations is second to none. I have had the pleasure of assisting him on one of his trips to our house repair one of our emergency brake linkages. His vast knowledge of these magnificent machines is amazing.Thank you Andy

-1906 Vandervilt Cup Race & crashed into Lancia who was furious BUT had the presence of mind to take note that the guy who crashed into him (Christie) had come up with a pretty brilliant idea for the suspension to his vehicle and "borrowed" it from Christie. They are not useless facts Jay; they are pretty interesting and it shows how these geniuses inspired one another in the evolution of their vehicles.

This Christie Racer was scrapped during the war and hopefully will be resurrected soon. Thanks Jay for Keeping American Automotive History Alive!

@TheCalgarydoug 7 лет назад

When you talked about a rough ride it reminded me of working for a farmer during harvest. I was driving his IH dump truck hauling grain and when we went to the half section behind the feed lot I found out it had been harrow packed. The result is that it was like a half mile of Texas gate. I'm sure I did as many miles up and down as forward. Thanks for sharing this Jay.

@davewilliams1249 10 лет назад

GREAT video.... I enjoy driving around the northern suburbs of Atlanta GA in the former KNOXVILLE ENGINE No.9 that Andy Swift and company restored. The ALF was the first motorized apparatus KFD Company 9 had and replaced a steamer and the horses where the Christie as shown above was designed to get a few more years out of a steamer. Mine was one of an order of four 1917 American LaFrance Type 12 Triple Combination pumpers delivered to the Knoxville, TN Fire Dept delivered 31 October 1917.

@kathrynswift4198 10 лет назад

Andy Swift is one of the leading antique fire engine restorers in the US. His work can be found all over the country, including Alaska, in private collections, fire departments and museums. His work ethic, historical accuracy, beautiful craft work and fair prices have placed him at the top of his class in the restoration world. Pre 1940's fire engines are works of mechanical and visual art. If you liked this video, do yourself a favor and get to know these gorgeous antique vehicles better.
