1930 Duesenberg LeBaron Barrelside - Jay Leno's Garage 

Jay's finger obstructing the iphone shots of the chassis gives me life. Don't change a thing Jay. These back-to-basics videos are gold!

The only thing possibly better than Jay's collection is the stories that he has to go with it.

When you realize that this is the car shown at the end of every "Jay Leno's Garage" video!

Is it just me, or is just listening to Jay and watching him fiddle with the keys and tell his stories very relaxing? Therapeutic even? This truly is his legacy. He presents a car so naturally. Explains the technical details and the history with such a calm ease and honesty that one can not help but be drawn into the time and space and period of each particular car. This show is Endlessly better than the staged NBC stuff where they have him running around in cars with guests, etc. Fast cuts and all the normal reality-tv style shooting. On this RU-vid channel, this is all Jay. Jay talking cars his way and sharing the gift of the history and beauty and experience of these truly remarkable mechanical achievements and their history. Jay essentially has what is turning into the world's foremost automobile museum. Certainly the most varied. His passion shows through on every video. He is a gracious host and a gentleman to all of his guests, regardless of status. He has inspired countless new enthusiasts from all generations. He does not frown upon the old or the new. His love of the work and engineering is apparent at every turn. This is his crowning achievement and he will be remembered for this very special contribution. I can only hope that things are all set up to be made into a museum and cared for long after his and our time. Similar to Mellon or Carnegie or Rockefeller donating their collections to the museums for all to enjoy. One can not train someone to present something this well. He is a natural and he invites you into his shop in every video. Many of these videos make me think and remember those dear to me who are no longer here. Their passion for cars. The way they could take anything apart and repair it. Their appreciation for the cars, be they Jaguar, Mercedes or an old Camaro, was infectious. These memories are very special. We should all take time to slow down sometimes, and just enjoy the ride in our cars. And be grateful for the moments. Thanks, Jay.

Do people actually complain the engine isn't clean enough? He took probably 4 hours out of his day to show us this car for no other reason than he wanted to so say thank you and watch

'The engine is not pristine'. Opens the hood of a 90 year old car and shows an engine that is cleaner than the inside of my refrigerator.

Pandemic edition episodes are my favorite, Jay seems alot more genuine when hes alone with his thoughts and a camera. I really appreciate you pumping out these videos Jay thank you.

At the age of 41 I've spent my entire life in shops. Jay reminds me of a few special older guys that always took the time to explain something or just tell a story. It would be a dream come true to see his shop

"They tend to leak fluids and things like any old person, i guess " LOL

"you restore them to 100 points and then drive them down to 5 points and then restore them again"

Jay is such an incredibly genuine person. He & Mrs Leno deserves all they have and long happy lives. Thanks for everything Jay.

My grand-uncle, „Otto Saitz“ was his name, migrated in the late 1920s from Germany to the USA and there he later worked in the Duesenberg car factory. He was very proud of it for his entire life. It’s very special for me to see such a car.

Amazing how this dude can talk so easily about stuff and makes it so nice to listen to, truly an old school talent. Thank you Mr. Leno.

Most of us would never know this masterpiece of a car exists. But thanks to Jay now we do, know its story, and even went for a ride. I'm genuinelly grateful to this man.

Little does Jay know that we enjoy these “pandemic” videos more than the regular videos

It's amazing to watch Jay just casually drive this jewel of a car while telling you great stories about it.

Mr. Leno you are keeping many people sane during this pandemic. My father who is long gone never quit reminding me how great the Dusenburg‘s were. Being a kid of the 60s and 70s I wasn’t very interested in them, Corvettes, Ferraris, and the like fascinated me. However I never forgot, and would occasionally remember my father telling me ‘Duesenberg did that first’. With this video you have given me so much information and such a rush of memories of my father who was indeed a car guy. He was an architect and second a car enthusiast we had several project cars on the property that I grew up on and to my mothers chagrin dad would simply build another car shed if he found another project car so we had four buildings on the back acres that had many different cars of varying degrees of restoration over the years. I know that the pandemic is affecting everyone as you stated it is even affecting you, but let me simply say to you these videos you are doing are absolutely priceless and thank you so much for sharing your passion with the world.

I'm loving the covid edition episodes...just Jay talking about the car at hand and all his knowledge of said car. I love the dash in this thing...would love to have every feature it has in my Jeep for off-road..from the hand throttle to the ability to change brake pressure..I have a old 10 speed gear lever setup with the cable ran to throttle that works as cruise control or just to crawl along in 4x4 on certain trails without having to touch the gas pedal. Helps with a manual...have it mounted to the shifter. Thanks for keeping these coming Jay! ✌️

How can you not love Jay? He's so unpretentious and relaxed as he describes one of the most valuable and beautiful vintage cars in the world. I'd be speechless and drooling just to stand near the thing!

I love how car manufactures back in the day made such awesome cars and attention to detail, like a painted engine, the craftsmanship is amazing.

Jay the SHOWS ARE BETTER when you just roll on your own! Yeah they are!! Trust me!

Jay, these intimate video tours you’re so generously offering during the pandemic mean everything. THANK YOU

God I just love this man. My grandma passed away 15 years ago and one of my fondest memories was staying at her house and watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I can’t remember what day of the week it was but he’d do a weekly segment showing funny news clippings. It’s great how even though she’s gone I still have this national treasure of a man in my life. ❤️

I respect and appreciate Jay for not only owning and showcasing these special cars, but for also being willing to show us how it all works and for driving them as opposed to hiding them away. A true steward of automotive history, with a great sense of humor no less :)

28:20 never drive your Duesenberg without this tool.” Okay Jay, we’ll all remember that when we drive around our own Duesenbergs

Jay broke out a Dusenberg, he must be in a good mood.

It’s kind of amazing that this machine is nearly 100 years old.

I sure do appreciate the time, effort and generosity Jay affords us, where else could we have a window into such rare and special vehicles not to mention hearing some of the fascinating stories of these automobiles. I smile each time I hear Jay say that this or that vehicle is driven fairly regularly...I hope Jay does indeed exercise his beautiful collection either personally or by hiring a drive team to keep those wheels turning. It would be nearly impossible to keep 200 + vehicles regularly exercised by oneself, but it would definitely be fun trying also. Anyway, thank you for graciously sharing your prized possessions with us Mr Leno, it is appreciated more than you know!

"The only car that could pass a Duesenberg was another Duesenberg, and that was with the first owner's consent." Absolutely gorgeous

Altimeter. Duesenberg allowed the driver to adjust the fuel/air mixture to optimize performance for high altitude locations. There was a playing card sized chart that contained settings for the carb based on the altimeter reading. This was done perhaps to sell one to Al Capone who drove his “Dusey” in Denver.

This is the most comprehensive explanation of a Duesenberg I've had the pleasure to view!

This is THE best RU-vid channel! It's so great to see Jay talking about his cars and the stories behind them! It all makes them so much more interesting!

I look forward to these "pandemic edition" episodes every Sunday - each and every one have been some of the best episodes on the channel, IMO. Wish it was in 4k though! Would be cool to be able to see all the detail in the engine compartment/dashboard.

Jay, If you read your comments you should know by now everyone really likes the format of the pandemic addition. It's a lot more personal than the ones with the camera crew. Keep 'em coming

Love Jay's attitude about cars - made to be driven and enjoyed, not trailer queens

I love how mechanical things were back then. That dashboard is unbelievable. And the hubs are so cool. Jay is so thorough and is really knowledgeable about all his cars. Awesome show!

Jay really likes his cars but he really loves this one, you can just hear it.

Can you imagine sharing that story of that one shift at 7 11 when Jay Leno rolled up in a big ol old car straight on fire threw money at you and proceeded to shoot sprite at his big ol on fire car to successfully put out said fire! Legendary

These “pandemic editions” are probably the only good stuff happened to me during the COVID-19 pandemic. Love to see more of your garage coming up Jay!

I can feel your passion for Duesenbergs through this video. Thanks for sharing Jay, this car is amazing and definitely decades ahead of its time!

Every other youtuber: "The best car story!!! Nazi diamonds in a motorcycle, fire and 7up" Jay: "1930 Deuesenberg"

He finally did the outro car, Many people have been asking for this for years. And he didn't even mention the outro. We watch it every week,he may have forgotten it after so many years.

"This is not a show car," says Jay, "It was, it won Pebble Beach in 1992." That was a very classy flex!

29:20 I like how he made this like a little tutorial. Thanks, Jay. I'll remember this for when I need to change the wheels on my Duesenberg.

why not put an "L", "R" and "B" on your keys to take the guesswork out of it? that BLUE is to die for! what a phenomenal car!

Jay- "This is a "working car" so there are some oil drips, dirt etc." Jay then shows us an engine cleaner than the kitchen counter in most of our homes. : )

The story with the emergency soda fire extinguisher made my day! Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful vehicles and the knowledge you have on them!

Grew up watching Leno late at night and my dad would tell me about his car collection and how impressive it was. Here I am 30 years later still learning about it. Just inspiring.

What an incredible legacy that Jay has built for himself.

"What's your PhD in?" "1930s Dusenbergs Wheel Removal"

Jay Leno is a generous man to share all of his great cars and history with all of us.

The outro finally matches!

Jay warns us that the engine bay isn't very pretty. Most of us wish our engine bays looked that pretty.

That blue color and beige combo is amazing.

I watch Mr. Leno's "Jay Leno's Garage" all the the time. Mr. Leno is truly amazing his attention to details of not only his cars but knows every detail about the History of the car and ownership. I could and have watched his videos all day. I enjoy watching his videos so much, I think he just a really good person.

Jay gets the “Real Man Award “ for the finger over the cam. The car is beautiful as well.

What other guy would admit to being in such a panic, that they did not see the fire extinguisher and put the fire out with 7-UP!!!!! Jay you're awesome!

The stolen diamonds part reminds me of Kelly's Heroes and their bank heist.

Jay is one of the best interview hosts, genuine interest in people and machines. Brilliant person

What a gorgeous piece of machinery! Love the sound of the engine! My grandfather worked for Dusenburg. He was a mechanicsl engineer and he also raced cars back in the 20’s and earlier. I wish I knew more about him.

I can just imagine that 17 year old original owner driving around with the top down wearing a full length raccoon coat, looking to pick up chicks.

So comprehensive! This video is over 44 minutes long and not a second of it is boring! Every small detail is so fascinating!

He's the car guy every car guy wants to be. So glad he shares his knowledge with us. Thank You Jay.

World War II soldiers gold diamond motorcycle in a Duesenberg what a great movie!!!!

23:43 he pocket dials someone. I love these back to basics videos, just Jay telling the story of the car.

This is the car that scares the living daylights out of you at the end of every episode.

Just re-watched this episode. Classic car, classic Jay. These pandemic ones are some of his best.

Jay Leno and Gene Winfield. The only real car-guys of the past. Absolutely love videos like this keep it up, Jay!

“Subsequent Duesenbergs I got” Hahaha. Much love, Jay! You always put a smile on my face

"My first rule: Don't Panic" Did we just find out Jay is a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

I think it's funny when Jay says it's not very clean under the hood and it looks better than any vehicle I have ever owned. I think about my 72 IH Scout with a 345 V8. I used to come out from under the hood looking like a guy who just discovered oil on a rig in the 1880's. Gotta love Jay. These videos are awesome.

There's something particular about this episode that I'm thoroughly enjoying. Jay just gets lost in this car in the best way. A lot of time and attention has clearly been given to this beautiful machine

Hahaha Jay said “Welcome COVID enthusiasts!” 😂 Jay you are hilarious and educational simultaneously. Never change Jay!

"Check my altimeter... see how high above sea level I am"... Commodore Jay Leno

Thank God the car world has Jay Leno to honour and care for these iconic cars of olden days.

The Duesenberg has always been my favorite car ever made since I saw one as a kid in the 60's.

Duesenberg has been my favorite car since I was 11 years old. My step dad bought me a duesenberg model car and I was hooked. 34 years later and I still have never seen one in person.

Jay restores a Duesenberg to pristine condition, but can’t label the keys.

Beautiful Jay, thanks for keeping it alive. Much appreciated for those down the road and the history.

Amazing that even the tire wrench reflects the level of engineering that went into the car itself. The curved design of the top of that dash looks remarkably advanced for the 1920s automotive design.

Hey Jay, I always wish you’d include the sound of the engine starting up and idling in the shop in these videos. Maybe throw in a couple quick revs too. The sound of these great engines is one of my favorite parts of these cars.

"The gentlemen who raided German banks" Wow! that's a lot of respect for robbers

That engine is a piece of working sculpture! Absolutely beautiful!

My father was an automotive mechanic for 51 years. I would love someday to be able to take him to Jays museum to take a tour of the cars and other finds he has. I know that he would just be over the moon to see something like this.

When you talked about the keys being all different I felt you were just talking to me. The current style of videos are more personal. Love your collection and thanks for taking such good care of them and sharing them with us

Leno's blurry finger on the camera is oddly adorable. Someone teach dad how to film with his phone!

Thanks Jay. Really enjoyed your in depth tour of the 1930:Deusy. The locking wheel nut and oiling computer are a masterclass in inventions. It’s a beautiful car Jay and your attitude of restoring to100 and using till 5, is great to hear. All the best 👍

Jay at a cars and coffee meet: Fan: "So what did you bring today?" Jay: "A LeBaron." Fan: "Eww, a Chrysler?" Jay: "No, Duesenberg." Fan: "Sorry...I should've known better."

Amazing story I could listen to this stuff forever

Thanx very much Jay. I am in my sixties and had yet to see as thorough a presentation about a Duesenberg and what an absolute beauty she is too.

Beautiful car, fantastic story (!), fascinating engineering marvel. Jay, what a fun fellow you are, to share all of this with all of us.

This is Jay’s idea of a dirty engine bay. Let that sink in.

Finally! I've been waiting a long time for a review of the car shown at the end of each episode and here it is. Didn't disappoint. The car is just as cool as it looks. Great episode.

Love the covid editions Jay, it feels extremely personal

I love this car. And the Duesenberg was my Dad's (RIP) favorite car when he was a young man back in those days and told me stories of some. He was born in 1916 so whatever the math is.

Restore em to a 100 points, then drive them to 5 points and then restore them again, GOLDEN WORDS. Everybody else please take note

God Bless Him, Jay is still pluggin’ away, even at 70 under covid conditions.. I see he’s slowing down a bit, and that’s ok.. plus no Vegas gigs.. he surely deserves it, and he still has great hair.. ;-)

These intimate Jay episodes are literally the only reason I wish the epidemic doesn't end. 🤣. Please don't stop what you're doing, Mr. Leno.

Mr Leno may have a lot of cars but his passion and love for history is humbling , real car guy just has a lot of them .. a true custodian to history , thank you for all your time and passion sir

I also love old cars with hoods like this. Makes it so accessible and easy to work on
