1931 Duesenberg Model J Town Car. When Jay found the last original-owner, unrestored Duesenberg in the world languishing in a Manhattan parking garage, he knew he had to call in an expert. Thanks to Randy Ema, this Woods-bodied car owned by the Strauss family is finally back on the road.

Something nobody seems to have commented on is Jay's driving skill. If that's an original gearbox, I assume it did not have syncromesh and Jay did a pretty good job of shifting. You can even hear once in a while he'd push the gear and wait for it to mesh (grinding gears) till he got the speeds matched and got'er in. That is not an easy skill to master. He's not just a rich guy with cool cars, he's a true "car guy".

I truly enjoy Leno´s reviews of older cars instead of the new ones. There is a certain charm on watching all these beautiful things with mechanic works. I get kind of bored watching the modern computerized cars, but in these, it is wonderful to see for instance the valves going back and forth in older engines. Glad Leno loves these cars and has the hard cash to keep them top notch. Maybe he should open a museum and make a return on the investment...

Tell what you want about Jay, but this guy has passion. He's not a collector of shiny and pretty cars, he has enough passion and knowledge to acquire a 1920s car in very bad shape and restore it (even through Randy) to its past glory. He is like one of these people working in museums, doing this hard work of taking something old and making it presentable, while keeping it as close as possible as what it would have been like when it was made, matching materials and replacements to match the period and the car as much as possible. You can also tell he is not just collecting shiny toys, because he actually takes the cars on the road. He is also well helped by his team and friends, trusting them enough to literally put his life between their hands, which is why you'll often hear that the brakes have been improved.

@chuckschillingvideos 5 лет назад

For those who aren't familiar with Duesenbergs and other vintage automobile makes, a Duesenberg left the factory as a rolling chassis - they did not have bodies nor interiors. It was up to the owner to choose a coachbuilder to create the body and interior components and as a result every Duesenberg on earth is a unique, one-off creation. There is no such thing as a "stock" Duesenberg.

@outspokengenius 4 года назад

Well they are considered stock if not mechanically modified. The body maker walker was owned by duesenberg. The LeBaron dual cowl phaetons are all the same except for color. Also if you buy an original and rebody it with a modern body it is still considered 100% original because of the fact that they didn't come with bodies.

The 1929 Great Depression soon killed off almost all of the many "luxury" marques all over the world as even the rich folk now had to watch their wallets.

I dunno... The Straus family survived the loss of its head (the co-founder of Macy's department store) when Isidor and Ida Straus went down with the Titanic in 1912. If the family could survive that, I'm sure they didn't have to give up THAT much during the Great Depression. No, I agree with Jay. The car was stored because it was hopelessly used up and they didn't have people back then who could restore the car economically. Well, they really didn't restore it economically in the last 10 years! The Straus heir (Isidor's grandson?) kept it because he liked the style of the car, not that he ever expected to drive it again! Heh -- "only 7,000" miles on it.

The Duesenbergs weren't built till 1929. 1929-1937. So saying the cars of the 30's were all drab isn't true. The depression hit the luxury makers of the U.S. hard but didn't put them out of business and it sure didn't affect the rest of the world.

Please Jay, would you release a 90 minute story on the Model X from the barn/garage, I remember seeing it on TV in an hour long format and can't find it anywhere. If you could release the original story, or re-do it for a DVD or streaming release it would probably sell well :)
