Car museums have a heart attack when Jay drives 3/4 of a million dollar irreplaceable cars in rush hour LA traffic.

It's seriously a pleasure to hear a car of this age running, nevermind getting a history lesson and actually seeing it drive. Absolutely adore this kind of museum tiered content.

Life was boring back then, that's why people didn't fear to die.

One of the best episodes of Jay Leno's Garage yet. EMF was a little known company that did big things. Walter Flanders (the F in EMF) was a genius engineer and factory designer that ultimately saved the Maxwell Motor Car Company, the forerunner to Chrysler. Detroit wouldn't have been the same without him.

My prayers to Jay as he recovers from his burning accident with that dang gone Stanley steamer that always used to blow up on tv. Jay is the man. His people are great. His collection is great. His passion for cars and automotive history is great. Couple that with his reach and unique personality, Jay has the capacity to inspire people. young and old to remember our history through his museum, his KZread channel, and his team’s ability to incubate and keep these relics in everyday drivable form. The way cars were intended to be. Hats off Jay and crew.

My great grandfather owned a 1909 EMF 30. We have 3 photos of it when new, and photos of it as Pickup truck about 8 years later. The back seat was removed to make a pickup. The acetylene gas generator tank was removed and a pressurized acetylene tank was added. Loved hearing an engine I’ve never heard before. 👍

Full respect to Jay for jumping into this piece of history and driving it round LA like it was a modern car.

Love these rare antiques and cars with actual history so much more than the latest shiny thing.

Jay lenos passion for Cars is contagious. He has so much car Knowledge/Experience

Great to see Jay recovering from his injuries so well.With every episode he seems a bit quicker and agile.

THIS is the kind of Jay Leno's Garage episode that matters. Jay SO knows his automotive history, and no one tells it like he does.

Jay, please don’t ever stop what you’re doing. The world needs to know and appreciate the amazingness that is cars of the past. Keep it up!

Mr. Leno is national treasure. Thanks for bringing us content like this.

Love it when Jay takes out these old crocks. They were still figuring out how to get reliable combustion. Always trying different methods to make the stuff work. I grew up with old tractors and listening to those slow turning, low compression engines has a certain music to my soul. Thank you, Jay, for all the variety of things you share with your fellow gearheads.😎😎😎😎

Well done Dale Critz in continuing to share not just this Great Savannah Races EMF 30 racecar, but keeping the history alive by showing it constantly and when the iron strikes his fancy, racing it as well! Privileged to know this car, the gent who owns is, and all the Critz Motorsport team that care for it!!! Thanks also to Jay Leno for featuring the car!!! Proper show, this one!!!!

You can't call yourself a carguy ,if you can't appreciate something about all cars from all era's .this is a beautiful car ,and it's over a hundred years old running great . give cars another hundred years, this car will still be running while people are looking at pictures of cars from today.

So impressed with Mr Leno's knowledge of history of automobiles, and his way of describing situations of the past from many different times...... Just so interesting to listen to him.....

What a beautiful piece of automotive history. Thanks Jay 😊

I spent part of a summer scanning and cataloguing all of the provenance for this car. I wonder if any of my scans will be used 😂. Looking forward to the video! Edit: They definitely are! My high school summer job's handiwork is part of a Jay Leno's Garage video lol.

15:00 just an excellent shot! That's a wonderful piece of drivable history. I dig the guests SMP on sharkmesh also, nice watch.

Just amazing what they could build with what they had back then. I cant get enough of the early stuff you show. Thanks sooooo much.

Wow, that's minimalist! Beautiful car; it's amazing that after all these years, the basic design of the automobile has essentially stayed the same. Thanks for bringing this car out for us, Dale, and thanks to Jay and the Crew (who must've reeked of burnt oil!) for another great episode! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

100% YUM! Love this episode. Could have been 20 minutes longer and still would have felt too short.

fabulous looking car in black and brass, sounds superb too. Many thanks Jay, a highlight again!The Jet moment was epic!!!

That's really cool, thanks for preserving and sharing such an iconic piece of auto racing history!

This shows you every automotive advancement comes from racing and engineering love this EMF racer 😊

Love to see this piece of history and these two gentle men enjoying this together!

Beautiful car. Hilarious, the flywheel looks like an actual 5 spoke wheel. 🤭👍

How cool would it be to be driving down the street and see Jay out for a drive in one of these amazing vintage racers.

That vintage sound is incredible

That is one awesome machine. Thanks for sharing.

-Makes me want to go back through the watchlist and see the steam engine automobiles to compliment this video; like the Stanley steam Vanderbuilt Racer. Way Cool Video Jay!! Just awesome!! Hope you and your whole crew are doing well!! Take care.

Thank you for the ride along. It brought back memories when I rode in my father's T speedster.

EMF - Every Mechanical Fault, Every Morning Fix-it. I have a 1912 Flanders 20, little brother to the EMF 30. The primer cups work great. Mine starts easily on battery, then you switch it to the Splitdorf low tension magneto.

I couldn’t help but giggle every time they showed these gentlemen from behind. Was expecting/hoping Jay to “stop-short!” Beautiful automotive History right there.✌🏼

Thank you for sharing. I had never seen or heard of EMF. It looks so purposeful with rakish proportions.

Jay, great brass car. I subscribe to Classic Motorsports magazine & in a recent issue I think your buddy Tim Suddard test drove that car on a track in Georgia.

Very good Mr. Leno!👍👍👍

Man, thats cool! Im always blown away bybthe engeneerimg solutions those guys came up with back then!

My absolute favorite type of episode!

Its hard but fun to try to put your 1911 thinking cap on, to try to imagine the technology. It makes you ask about solutions that seem so obvious to us today, that is it difficult to understand how it was not thought of earlier. We know there were brilliant men back then, but it is difficult to imagine not understanding certain concepts - things we think of as perfectly logical today.

I always love sound of old engines and transmissions.

I also heard "every morning fixit" for EMF. They merged with Studebaker. Great to see it run. Thanks Dale and Jay.

Love it Jay Thank You

That old car makes my 1927 model t look like a modern car. At least i dont have a shifter. and i have a starter. Myn still had a crank on the front, but i have a 6 volt battery and a starter to get her going.

Random comment,I know, but the outside engine belt reminded me of my husband and his father going to Baja in a truck with a little trailer. The hitch was causing problems so my Father in law took off his belt and used it to pull the trailer the rest of the way. 😳☺️Ingenuity, necessity and a whole lot of something.
