Fatty Arbuckle's Torque Monster: Nethercutt's 1923 McFarlan Model 154 - Jay Leno's Garage 

LOL 😂. "your primer cup is open." (Dufus checks his fly) My what is what? 😂 OMG some guy is touching the engine! They're gonna kill me!😂

That's definitely what he was thinking😂. You're my hero Jay!

That was SO awesome. 100 year old car, first time seeing it ... starts it and immediately correctly calls out an issue & gets it fixed. Yeah ... absolute boss.

@@THE_BaconPirate "Dufus" is a VP, he was in front of the engine, which is much louder than what you get, because someone is equaling their mikes and the sound from the camera. And it's not 'some guy', he's one of Jay's most experienced employees. Guys breathes this stuff, like Jay. That shop's probably one of the most knowledgeable on old cars in NA. They inherited several archives and worked with many experts who are now long gone.

@@aserta apparently sarcasm is lost on the super intelligent.

He is in my opinion. The worlds number 1 Motorhead. Tons of respect.

@@willemp6432 I agree

He used his money the right way. Like jay always sais, it's cheaper than cocaine and hookers kkkk

@@willemp6432 Jay is Car God.

Anyone should have picked that up, it was very obvious.

Give the kid a break!

Dammit Jim, I'm a curator, not a mechanic.

He does this on a bunch of videos- His cars, other people's cars. He even fixes a steam,-powered car, unassisted, on the roadside. He genuinely knows his stuff. Not one of these fake Hollywood ""car guys"". (i saw a video of """car guy""" Tim Allen, talking about his 56 Chev, "this is my FAVORITE car!! Look at this hood ornament!! So cool!" Then the interviewer asks if it's a 6 cylinder or v8, and Allen couldn't answer lol)

He did look like the deer in the headlights when Jay said "loose primer cups". Great man to share the collection, enough bad mouthing

Very common, very loud and Leno’s no doubt heard it a million times. It’s common because you adjust them all the time.

i bet he heard it before on one of his cars. yet i still agree.

Man it's not for everyone chill

It's an unmistakable sound. My car occasionally has one open up. It will not only make the sound but the engine will miss from lack of compression.

Simply one beautiful piece of history that car is marvelous and shouts Hollywood ⭐️

Same here, that’s one of my life goals is to own a car from Back then, thankfully many people out here love and sometimes sell their stuff out here often

Queixudo é gente boa demais, fato!

How can this comment be from before the video released?

A museum car can still be put on video and driven just like this. Not mutually exclusive, but Jay already had an audience and is obviously a pro presenter/speaker. Best is for a museum to showcase their cars here. I will assume after Jay's gone, he'd want his collection to be public. Will be a great museum.

​@@wyskass861 this channel does primers (let's people know when the show will be going live, say like 24 hours before) during this time you can make comments.

Nobody but Jay would have known that a primer cup was open.

JayLeno is a national treasure!!!

Nope, INTERNATIONAL! Greetings from Spain.

It could be a little better if Jay had had a top hat, walking stick and monocle to lend to Cameron if the guy's expected to ride in the back. Those accessories should well with the golf shirt, jeans & athletic shoes.

Atlas was the senior son of Poseidon and Cleito and would likely have been very large and posibly what they sometimes call Annakin as a result of God and human hybrid. Genesis called them mighty men and heroes of old. According to Otto Muck Atlantis was centred on the current day Azores and according to old Egyptian legend sank beneath the sea in a terrible day and terrible night. Think of the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains named after Atlas. It is legend.

Annakin = God/human hybrid? Why didn't I ever hear this in star wars lore?

@@brandywell44 , as a result of demon and forced women, making hybrids, Genesis 6: 1 - 4. KJV.

Definitely Atlas, demonstrating his strength by literally shouldering the weight of the world. Appropriate for a powerful car ... and besides, you'd need a road atlas to find your way😁

That'd be a sucky job. You HEAR about places like San Moritz, Venice, Yellowstone, Taos or Maui, but you can't take ONE MINUTE to go visit them, or the whole shebang is gonna fly off into the cosmos.

Awesome, going to have to make a trek over there from Elizaville. Used to live in ECI but never spent much time in Connersvile.

Not nearly as knowledgeable as Jay. Jay is the ULTIMATE car guy! What other collector has both Stanley Steamers and McLarens?

Respectful yes, but knowledgeable in a vehicle that he has little to no information on is not very knowledgeable. The McFarlane was an automobile and coach building company that had every model as a unique choice. Now a lot of people get the impression...well a lot of people have never studied anything in their life other than the Model T, but people don't understand that the luxury ideal of the time was never a tudor top Limousin or sedan. The big luxury thing was the enclosed limousine, sport sedan, or enclosed stationary top coupe/cabriolet. If you look at a rubay (HIGHLY expensive automobile company beyond cadillac lincoln pierce arrow you name it) you'll see a beautiful long sedan body, cut short roof, beautifully angled front windshield, large fenders and white walls in the 1910s. Very art deco design around 1916-1918 and a 150 wheelbase. Then you look at a Winton, with gorgeous curvature, long open window from front to back with little slits for the door openings, came in a variety from cherry red, cream vanilla, to an early metallic storm blue. Pierce arrow had this fanciful carriage esk window design, large large tires that were about 2.7/4 the size of a 6 foot man, classical colors of the early automobile days, and amazing embellishments. These are vehicles that everyone should have known about, but were covered up by the Model T, in all its absolutely charmless clash.

Knowledge?😂😂😂

Cameron is one of the best guests. It's Jay's show, people don't realize it's edited so Jay can say the stuff. We're pretty lucky to have a 'Rich Kid' that grew up with these autos and really does understand what is great about cars, and these old cars in particular. He doesn't have to have every tech detail, he knows a ton and talks to people all the time. I'm jealous of 'the kid' but pretty glad he's taking care of the collection.

True that. When I lived in Aptos, CA I was witness to two Bugatti's at a gas station. They were being toured after the Concourse de Elegance in Monterey. The owners were super cool and talked with us for a while, showed us cars and the engines. Fun times.

@@CharlesEngbers If you drive something like that, I expect you have to expect to do an instant car show when you gas up.

And fixes Cameron's cars, too, apparently.

Do you remember "Believe all women"? I've seen some of his footage. His comedy holds up. Still funny after all the years.

@@SBCBears Aye, I do. Legendary. Do you recall when he had to change his name? For his last three films, he was billed as, 'W,B, Goode'. Yeah, Will Be Good. I could rant on, but best restrain myself.

Really...Wasn't there quite a few children involved? I'll have to research your claim.

Courts don’t prove people innocent, the defense lawyers attack the prosecutor’s case in order to discredit it and return a verdict of not guilty. Significant and important difference that you and all people should learn and know about for your own sake.

@@ramblingsadrift6477 No- no children were involved.

Had Jay's NBC career been NYC located and not Burbank CA, he'd know immediately the radiator cap is Atlas holding up the world. Rockefeller Center has a building (Fifth Ave. side) fronted by a sculpture of Atlas holding an open version of the globe.

@@jackmorrison7379 Yeah that's a primo modern sculpture.

Ya but once the media gets hold of a story,they are like a dog with a bone,they never let go.He was tried in the media before he ever saw the inside of a courtroom.Ruined his career.

Fatty liked the ladyboys.

yea, i cringed as well. Really, channel locks on a car of that value? I wont use them on a cheap car.

@user-ji6if2nh4o If you were to look up confidence in the dictionary it would just have his picture as the definition. I am amazed by the engineering of these early American cars and how advanced they were.

​​@@user-ji6if2nh4o: Apparently you didn't pay close enough attention...they were Knipex smooth jaw pliers, not channellocks! Knipex makes some of the best tools on earth.

@nomenclature9607 thanks I nearly called them water pump pliers but thanks for the education 👍.

I cringed, too - until the mechanic paused for a moment and I recognized the smooth jaws (and adjustment mechanism) of Knipex "plier wrench". I discovered those fairly recently. I think it's less likely to damage the faces of the hex than an open-end wrench.

true

I dont think so!!!! The knowledge is constantly being passed down to others, Even though Jay and his mechanics are awesome and extremely knowledgeable, none of them were born with the knowledge pre-installed in their brains. They became this knowledgeable by doing alot of research and by hands on trial and error experience. As long as automobiles exist, there will also be very knowledgeable people to fix them.

Some are bringing along younger apprentices.

Nonsense. There are people all over the world working on old cars, with just as much knowledge.

Even Jay had to learn. I mean obviously this car was made way before he was born so he had to learn stuff himself. There will always be people that learn and know and pass down, at least as long as these car exist.

Growing up in the 60's, 70's, 80's on a farm, my dad's mechanic said all our tractors had Armstrong steering 😂😂

At one time there was an accessory starter for a crank started car. I was a spring would device. You would it up and then push a button to crank the car. Armstrong Starter

He needed more leg room..driver comfort afterthought

Parking that car is like going to the gym.

@@mrm1885 😂

They'll have to get Fallon to fill the job.

Nethercutt is not only cars, so we can't expect their VP to be a mechanical wizard anyhow.

Yes, Fatty was a car guy who had gas in his veins with just enough blood to make it look red. He did all his own work, too. He didn't believe in bring his cars to the shop. HE was the shop.

@@michaelbenardo5695 That's amazing and awesome! I always love finding out new things about the actors I've adored for a while! Especially the silent film ones (and, of course, I also believe he was framed)

I am glad that people are starting to reconsider Fatty Arbuckle's (Well there's a non politically correct name to start!) his career ending scandal in context for the time. I read old scrapbook news pieces of The Scandal in of all places, a junior high study hall in 1969/70 held in a Social Studies Classroom Thank God for the not particularly well monitored classrooms and curriculums of yore.

I just read about his life. Never heard of him before, truly tragic.

I concur 100% 👍 "What happened to Arbuckle was criminal and wrong. Long past time for his reputation to be rehabilitated."

@@JerryGarcia-fj8ol uh-huh. cowardly bot w a dispoable account. boring.

And the society of the time - polite, honorable (the ones who were), when a handshake meant more that a written contract.

Jim Comey is the one who locked up Martha Stewart. Things start to make sense, if we look at them with an investigative mindset. Comey and Brennan ran the spying operation on Trump.

Your mom was right. It came out later, but his reputation was already destroyed by that time. Just like today, there were those who refused to believe the later findings.

@@paulfogarty5040 Sounds like a movie title.

On those kinds of engines, which Jay owns several of, it’s as common and familiar as a flat tire sound. Hardly something to salute about, lol.

@@DoctorShocktor just that this in not a car Jay owns.Never in any video it was a subject, by the way

50 years ago I went to an auction where a Model T truck was for sale. Didn’t have a lick of paint left on it. They were still using the truck for feeding out if there was a lot of snow or water about. Would go where the more modern Land Rovers couldn’t go.

My random thought while watching this was "My house was already 50 years old when that car was new".

Yup, for a century old, it's in near-new condition.

Exaggeration. What look on his face?
