1931 Duesenberg Model J Chassis - Jay Leno's Garage 

Exactly, Cars are meant to be driven no matter the cost or the rarity. And when he wants to mod a certain car, he almost always has a perfect example alongside the custom version.

Josh Shaw 100% correct. I’ve been around many a car (nothing with nearly the cool factor of those of Jay Leno), and the one thing that *will* absolutely kill a car, no matter what it is, is if it sits still for too long. Whatever it is, it has to run!

@@F-Man An object at rest, stays at rest. I would so rebuild engines every few years, just to drive i car i love.

Zues Toots That’s why I rebuilt my 1989 Jeep- I like to drive it. The new ones are not appealing in the least.

fishhuntadventure An ‘89 Jeep? I’d love one of those!

What is a Deusenberg?

@@huaba8804 If you watched the video it was the thing you were staring at for 20 minutes.

@@huaba8804 And where the hell did I ever spell the name? My comment is pretty short and its not there.

@@huaba8804 You also need to be using "it's". Since you want to play that game.

ellomdian you mean 99%

Smoothly slurping slurry feeder gears rounding blow up and out down around blasting powered swaggering

Anybody try to make a top fuel drag racer out of a Duesenberg engine

I think he said "I used to," not "nice to." Statute of limitations, you know.

@@homercarey8951 The engine would be weight prohibitive.

​@@homercarey8951nope but it would make a great motor for a wheelie monster

Agreed no talk show host since have even been worthy enough to shine his boots with all their classless hate filled dribble they spew on TV every night of the week.

So is his car collection!

He likes Trump

Buttkiss....lol

I really enjoy the fact that he's apparently become a regular character on Last Man Standing.

He is wearing a seatbelt, but it must be fun when the uncovered front tires throw up a rock right at his head.

What you mean? Looks completely safe to me....LOLOL

He rides his motorbikes too!!

He bought a mansion in Newport Rhode Island ! Maybe we will get a chance to see him ride by ,

He doesn’t have life insurance.

I...ain't got no booooooooooody!!!

Jay is a pretty common sight around L.A. and up in the hills. No one is surprised to see stuff like this.

His warehouse is pretty easy to find too.. 🧐

Yes and no number-plates

@@BeingMe23 Yes, my girlfriend and I took a drive over to his garage one Sunday morning last July while visiting L.A. We found him there unloading boxes out of a Range Rover with the help of some friends/employees. A few minutes later out he came behind the wheel of a black Ferrari. I smiled and waved at him and he smiled and waved back. It was the highlight of my trip to southern California!

They are cast something, and hollow !

And maybe add subtitles.

fatt Guy add subtitles?? He seems easy to understand.

@@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT that's not for you to judge. I want subtitles also.

glad to see you survived your career as a spy

Well daily the Nissan but take the D out for the weekend..

@@adityachandrashekhar525 you know spies, buncha bitchy little girls..

You need to work harder and get something better.

ME TOO THOSE KIND OF CARS WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL I,M THROUGH DRIVING MY 2004 MALIBU !....////

The car's pretty nice too

Nailed it.

Still sings that sweet sound too.

So is your 90 year old Granny. Can I have her number?

Thicc

jim sink Made me lol

The car's insurer, same deal "WADDYA MEAN, TAKE IT OUT ON THE FREEWAY???" "75, 80 MPH???" "WITH OTHER CARS???" Instantly falls over dead of an embolism. XD

My dad loves samurai's haha

And "a mile a minute", "family of four", and "end of the world"

My liver won't survive that, and I'm former Navy! xD

You'd probably fall out! There isn't any seat belts on it!

wildman510 10:46 - looks much like a seat belt,- it's just that Leno likely isn't using it much

Cadillac surely has failed. Not that they arent great cars, but their marketing (and interior design) has been ineffective. Lincoln might get there, but seems a lot of stuck up Brits still dont see the quality. Bringing back D, now that would be epic. So long as it's not run by ford or GM, who would "ruin it" in the eyes of foreigners by building them on existing platforms.

@@mitchellsteindler You mean like how GM did with Saab?

@@sped6954 exactly lol

RaceGrooves Hello!

@@isaacsrandomvideos667 Hello!

Do you own one?

Jay loans cars to the museum. I don't know if the general populace knows...

Several of the cars at the museum were on loan. Very generous to loan out so others may enjoy such rare art & history on wheels.

The building itself is amazing too. It was the headquarters for ADC and is an Art Deco treasure. Only place where I've ever walked into a restroom, took a startled look around, and then pulled out my camera and took pictures.

@@JeffDeWitt -- I love Art Deco and the styling of 1920's and 1930's cars, buildings, bridges, etc. I wish modern styling was as artistic. I'll put it on my bucket list to go see this museum and bathroom !!

@@IronClad292 You won't be disappointed, it was on the second floor, same floor with the restored corporate offices.

When I was a kid my dad had a deal with the curator where I could go into the original draft room upstairs and use trace paper to copy some original blueprints such as the bell housing and cam covers. Even at twelve years old I knew what i was doing was sooper cool.

Or the cop will ask if they can ride shotgun.

@@BIGBLOCK5022006 I know I would xD

jay and the cops have mutual agreement, they let jay drive without tickets if he lets the cop sit on the car.

My first thought was that a body would get blood everywhere and ruin the car.

@@BIGBLOCK5022006 I would totally ask Jay for a ride if I were an officer. "Mister Leno, please follow me back to the office, so I can clock out and not get fired for this." :D

Some guy you've never heard of in a town in the middle of nowhere... certainly no one with his level of media exposure

He is a one off for sure! I mean not just his knowledge, but his attitude, he knows car guys want to see n hear these rare old beasts running, or they will become static sculptures, not cars.

There are plenty of people. The problem is not many that are famous. Anyhow I don't see what your point is.

Sankofa NYC very few and far between

@@Anth230 you gotta think harder... The point is obvious.. it's that Jay is unique and a special individual.. but more so this was a question than some profound point being made... It's wild you couldn't figure that out... Are you ok? I know it's early

Yes as a way of reducing air turbulence on the front end.

YEH IF YOU HAD THE MONEY THEY HAD THE TECHNOLIGY ,EVEN THEN !....////

Good tech never goes out of style

And Harley came back to belt drive's

There’s nothing new under the sun

I know the feeling man, I'm driving a 02 Ford F-150 crew cab that was left to me by my late step father, and I'll be doing the best I can to keep it going til the wheels fall off working for a bi weekly paycheck from a non profit org.

Hope you get the funds And get her running perfect 👌🏾

Those old Fords last forever... keep 'er greased up

ty dude.... we live our life

@777jones ty :) 235,000 miles. runs great. Ball joints are ready to pound through tho

I had to come back to reply to this 2 minutes after I read it because I finally got what you were going for. Well done.

Yea, Its Almost completely see-through.

It's a John Cena built body.

Kudos and Bravo, Sir... .LOLOLOL

Nah, its vanishing cream

Even the chassis looks stylish af

New RR's are just fancy BMW's these days anyway.

So many things that weren't used for years or early versions of things uncommon for decades. For example my 2008 is only 2v they had this back in the late 20's. The idea of brake modulation to prevent lockup that early in the automotive era is astonishing. Besides the tremendous attention to detail and quality.

Rollers and some trucks used louvered grilles. International prime movers with Cummins had them among others.

@@ldnwholesale8552 RR used a louvered radiator too.

I've love to see someone like Mark Henry, or the Big Show come by the shop as a challenge, and try to crank it by hand lol!

Sorry, It's Duesie for something really great and doozy for a big lie.

@@noahvale939 So sorry to have confused you; I was doing a play on words. In fact, there doesn't appear to be a consensus on spelling or etymology. Here are just a few examples: The origin of the American slang word "doozy" or "doozie", meaning something excellent or powerful, is unknown. Merriam-Webster completely rejects any attribution to the automobile, noting that doozy originally appeared as "dozy" in eastern Ohioin 1916 - four years prior to the production of the first Duesenberg vehicles. They also claim there is little evidence connecting the Duesenberg and doozy during the 1920s and 1930s, when the car was most popular. "Dozy" is akin to the verb "dozen" that is semantically and etymologically related to "daze" and that is attested in slang terms such as "the dozens." What is a Duesy? Something outstanding or unique of its kind. it's gonna be a doozy of a black eye. Edit: Here is what wikitionary.org has to say about the etymolgy of the word doozy also spelled duesy: American, from daisy (the flower), also 18th century and onward English slang for something excellent.Jul 5, 2012 ALSO: American, from daisy (the flower), also 18th century and onward English slang for something excellent. May have been influenced by Eleonora Duse, Italian actress. Wiktionary seems to rely on World Wide Words:Doozy for this information. IMO, it's silly to discount the influence of Duesenberg automobiles, too. The Duesenberg name may not have been the genesis of the term doozy, but the Duesie nickname may have reinforced the meaning and made the term even more common. It's been quite a while since I read it, but I think I remember a reference to Duesenberg as a source for doozy in The Great Cars. - Caleb Jun 20 '13 at 15:02 ALSO: A Zulu word meaning "close, next to, near; nearly; alongside; close shave". We used this word in Rhodesia in the meaning "close shave" when conversing in English. That was Duzie. = "That was close", e.g. "He was nearly bowled out". When comunicating with the Africans, we referred to all the Zulu meanings in the correct context of speech.

@@bimercatracho no.

Most likely they will all be auctioned off for estate sale

It would be great, if he would make a public museum from his collection or give it to some kind of already established museum. I think he does not have any kids, so it would be kind of logical to establish a non-profit organization to do this....

The collection should stay just that.

From what I have heard his collection will become a museum
