This newly discovered footage from our first visit to Jay Leno's car collection was recorded on February, 12, 2000! Jay showed us his 1930 Duesenberg LeBaron Barrelside and took us for a spin.
We went on to film many more wild automotive adventures with Jay. Watch them all below and stay tuned for more surprises from the MCC Classics Vault.

COOL Jay Leno's Car Collection | The Early Days at Jay's

@rogergoodman8665 3 года назад

You gotta love Jay! He not only saves some of the most incredible classics ever built from oblivion, He also restores some & pampers his collection. Most importantly though...HE DRIVES THEM. It don't matter to him if it's a $5,000 car or a $500,000 car, you gotta get them out of the garage or museum & get them on the road & that you gotta respect.

@davidlogansr8007 3 года назад

Cars are meant to be driven! He has the right idea with his MASSIVE collection! I wonder what will happen to them when the inevitable happens, hopefully many many years from now. His parents lived well in to their 80’s from mentions in other episodes.

@johnschlaefflin2100 Год назад

If kids today can’t drive a simple manual transmission, who in the hell will know how to start up up any of these classic cars? Spark, retard, clutch, oiler, hand brakes? Wait can I even use the word retard without getting stoned by the PC police?

It's absolutely stunning to me that this was 1929. It sounds like "Yes. Keep it at 70 and I'm gonna do this all day." ... In 1930. Crazy.

Jay is a true *steward* of the hobby - he willingly takes on the responsibility of properly restoring, caring for and sharing his cars with all of us and does so the right way, at every opportunity. The cars - and the history they represent - are served well by him; it's true bucket list stuff to dream of visiting his shop one day. -Ed on the Ridge

Jay takes a limited number of people on rides in his cars, at least from what I've seen on videos. This is the first time I've ever seen him offer anyone to drive any of them and one of his Duesenbergs no less. But then Dennis is a car legend all his own so it makes total sense.

Exactly. The only thing missing is Jay's "Canadian Tuxedo", denim on denim.

@litigioussociety4249 3 года назад

@Modern Classic Collectables Yes, but the stylization seems more on par with RU-vid to me. For example, the Jay Leno's Garage episodes that air on television are very different, and usually worse, than the RU-vid ones.

@The_Curious_Cat 3 года назад

Don't compare people that drive their cars everyday to work, plus have limited amount of money to maintain them. To a guy that is a millionaire, has a team of mechanics that keeps the cars in great condition. Plus cars that don't drive that often compared to an everyday car.

@creepingjesus5106 3 года назад

@@The_Curious_Cat That's pretty much the perspective I'm thinking of. Albeit that the over engineering of a Duesenberg doesn't compare to any car built in many years...

I watched Jay pull the starter , adjust the spark, and finally, the car started. You actually had to have some sort of skill that has been lost over the decades. Imagine someone trying to figure out how to start it, who was used to fuel injection and automatic transmissions, a car that does all the work Jay did.
