ABOUT JAY LENO'S GARAGE ON CNBC
Hosted by legendary comedian and “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, the series explores our obsession with all things automotive. From classic cars to supercars and everything in-between, Jay is hitting the road to discover the most exciting, weird and wonderful vehicles ever made and meet the passionate people behind their wheels. Each one-hour themed episode features a mix of stunts, challenges, reviews, and celebrity interviews that showcases the colorful history of the automobile. Whether he’s exploring the story of an iconic brand, road-testing the newest super car, or investigating the latest automotive innovations, there is no wheel Jay won’t get behind to tell the story of our love affair with the car.
About Jay Leno: Acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, much-in-demand corporate speaker, lovable TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist…it’s no wonder that Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

@gadsden1957 3 года назад

I grew up next to Marysville and read about this car. C.H. Wills invented the Oilite bushing when he worked for Chrysler. Jay there is another very rare car built in Port Huron you might like. The Havers was an automobile built in Port Huron, Michigan by the Havers Motor Car Company from 1911 until 1914. The company was established by brothers Fred and Ernest Havers in 1910, with the first cars being manufactured within the Port Huron Engine & Thresher Company's premises. In 1912 Havers bought the old E-M-F factory (also in Port Huron) and moved production there.[1] The factory suffered a disastrous fire on 7 July 1914, destroying almost everything apart from the offices.[2] While originally planning to resume production within a month, Havers were unable to sway their creditors who forced the company into bankruptcy.

Few years ago I met older English guy in Calais who has been driving from England to Switzerland and Italy and he was driving back to English with he’s 1925 RollsRoyce. He said that he haven’t been any issues on that trip. I really like to see these prewar cars on the road much more than in museum.

Wills built a town based around the plant . Many of the homes are still there . Chrysler bought the property and the Chrysler distribution center is on the location of the Wills plant . With a nice view of the saint clair river . If this little company had survived Marysville could have been big city . There is a little museum in Marysville with some wills cars and photos and history on the company .

@mgee6331 3 года назад

As a metallurgical engineer, Wills was an aide of Henry Ford. Wills introduced vanadium steel for the production of the Ford Model T; it was the first the large scale application of the alloy. Wills was also a designer and is credited with designing the script "Ford Blue Oval" emblem that the company uses to this day.[1]

@mirceamitch 3 года назад

There's a guy in my country (Romania) who's a pretty famous businessman in Europe, a former tennis player and one of the richest men in the country, if not the richest. He has an amazing collection of cars from all eras, including one of the largest collections of Rolls Royce Phantoms (multiple generations) in the world. The thing is he's a bit of a grump and he used to be pretty reclusive (still is, compared to other celebrities) and he would hardly ever speak about his collection, let alone allow people from the media into his garage. There were only a couple of features in magazines or shows when I was in my 20s. I used to be so frustrated and, while I respected his privacy (I used to be an automotive journalist), I was genuinely sad that he wasn't sharing his collection with the world. Luckily, he came around and opened a museum a few years ago. He can't fit all of his cars in there, because he has over 200 (EDIT: 350 cars, looked it up on his Wikipedia page), but he swaps some of them around every now and then. It's so cool what Jay does and I love when people like these put in the effort to let other people enjoy their wonderful cars.

Jay; those locking floor panel screws are Dzus Fasteners designed and patented by an American of Hungarian origin, Volodymyr Dzhus in the early 30's. They were discovered to be just the thing for aircraft cowlings and inspection plates that had to be removed frequently for servicing internals as their 1/4 action kept the screw itself under spring tension so vibration couldn't loosen it. They shone during WWII. Basically; every pieces of motorized military equipment had some of these things installed somewhere. Interesting story behind th guy himself.

They still are used just about everywhere. Aircraft, race cars, trucks, boats even spacecraft. If you need to attach something to something securely but in a way that facilitates easy removal there is no substitute. Those particular ones are not Dzus tho, this is a 1922 vehicle, I nearly fell for the same trap until I remembered the age of the car. The ones used here look the same externally but have a different method of fastening. Such fasteners existed before the dzus, it's claim to fame and the reason it soon dominated the market is the spring tension system it uses to fasten whereas the ones you see here would have relied on the give in the rubber floor board seals.

Oh and yes Jay you are lucky to have those employees; you have gathered about you a very skilled little group of craftsman and artisans that together can pull off the restoration of just about anything mechanical. At the same time they are lucky to have you. I've heard on the grapevine about the way you are taking care of your employees in these COVID times and I'm sure they are more than grateful for your generosity. Thank you for being a decent human being.

Dang my Hope's of becoming a Jay Leno Millioniare have been dashed. Lol. But in all seriousness I am loving another New Yankee Workshop style episode. I could never get tired of those and never get tired of watching Jay do his thing with these old cars. With all the craziness going on politics, pandemic, and panic. It's nice to watch some pure innocent, good old fashion car project episodes.

I’ve anxiously followed progress on this car through several Restoration Blog videos - thanks, Jay, for preserving another piece of automotive history and sharing it with us.

@matthewbrown2037 3 года назад

It's great to see the finished product after following a restoration. Especially on such a rare and unusual car.

The colour the fire provides is just amazing, and maybe a little terrifying

@ClayLoomis1958 3 года назад

When you live here, the "amazing" wears off pretty fast, and you're just left with orange skies, ash in the air, and aching lungs. California has about 1000 miles of coastland , and almost all of it is covered with this crap right now.

Jay, I like it when you show unfamiliar cars. Continue the good work. Stay safe. Steve in Canada. Foot Note: I'm keepping this video for keepsake. I love stories about decent persons who care about their employees and their families. Need more of those. Thank you, Jay.

Thank you for posting your video. You usually upload your videos around midnight and when I didn’t see your new video I thought you were sick or something had happened to you.

Makes me want to go detail the heck out of my old Escort which just turned over 333333 miles on the way home last night, long may it run . one of the last of the many. thanks to Jay and his incredible team of craftsmen for saving this car and all of the others as well.

I remember this jewel. Jay had this one the same way he does anything? No holds barred!! This is a car that a gentleman who used too work for Henry Ford,and it was miles ahead from for it’s time. When you have an opportunity, and the bucks this is the very highest level of a return on your dollar?? This cat loves them cars man, but he at least puts on a good show.

Thanks Jay, for getting more of these treasures up on the lift and getting some great shots of the driveline and undercarriage. It's so rare to find pictures/videos of classics from these angles that I think your documentation and input is a HUGE contribution to history!

@RockstarBruski 3 года назад

@RadeonMasterRace97 3 года назад

clem52 Us Italians, especially in my town where traffic laws often are more like a suggestion, always do rolling stops unless there is no possibility of not stopping. It’s wrong, and I know that, but it’s very difficult to unlearn bad driving habits😅
