I was blessed to see Jay's shop complex. I knew Jay's motorcycle guy. My jaw was open the entire time. Motorcycles and cars all epic.

Is it just me, or is just listening to Jay and watching him fiddle with the keys and tell his stories very relaxing? Therapeutic even? This truly is his legacy. He presents a car so naturally. Explains the technical details and the history with such a calm ease and honesty that one can not help but be drawn into the time and space and period of each particular car. This show is Endlessly better than the staged NBC stuff where they have him running around in cars with guests, etc. Fast cuts and all the normal reality-tv style shooting. On this KZread channel, this is all Jay. Jay talking cars his way and sharing the gift of the history and beauty and experience of these truly remarkable mechanical achievements and their history. Jay essentially has what is turning into the world's foremost automobile museum. Certainly the most varied. His passion shows through on every video. He is a gracious host and a gentleman to all of his guests, regardless of status. He has inspired countless new enthusiasts from all generations. He does not frown upon the old or the new. His love of the work and engineering is apparent at every turn. This is his crowning achievement and he will be remembered for this very special contribution. I can only hope that things are all set up to be made into a museum and cared for long after his and our time. Similar to Mellon or Carnegie or Rockefeller donating their collections to the museums for all to enjoy. One can not train someone to present something this well. He is a natural and he invites you into his shop in every video. Many of these videos make me think and remember those dear to me who are no longer here. Their passion for cars. The way they could take anything apart and repair it. Their appreciation for the cars, be they Jaguar, Mercedes or an old Camaro, was infectious. These memories are very special. We should all take time to slow down sometimes, and just enjoy the ride in our cars. And be grateful for the moments. Thanks, Jay.

I bet more is paid for the storage space ect in that time than the actual rebuild. Its a collection akin to a museum, where letting the items be slightly less than spotless (but all together/functional) is a labor/cost saving measure when compared to trying to keep them up to pebble beach showcar levels constantly, rather than some kind of disregard for the expense of the restoration work to redo them.

You have to understand he spends a ton of time around other car collectors and concours judges, many of whom are, to be generous, incredibly anal about every last detail of a car. What most people would never notice stands out like a sore thumb to them, so Jay is probably accustomed to hearing about the faults of his collection from these folks.

My grand-uncle, „Otto Saitz“ was his name, migrated in the late 1920s from Germany to the USA and there he later worked in the Duesenberg car factory. He was very proud of it for his entire life. It’s very special for me to see such a car.

Jay gets the “Real Man Award “ for the finger over the cam. The car is beautiful as well.

Mr. Leno you are keeping many people sane during this pandemic. My father who is long gone never quit reminding me how great the Dusenburg‘s were. Being a kid of the 60s and 70s I wasn’t very interested in them, Corvettes, Ferraris, and the like fascinated me. However I never forgot, and would occasionally remember my father telling me ‘Duesenberg did that first’. With this video you have given me so much information and such a rush of memories of my father who was indeed a car guy. He was an architect and second a car enthusiast we had several project cars on the property that I grew up on and to my mothers chagrin dad would simply build another car shed if he found another project car so we had four buildings on the back acres that had many different cars of varying degrees of restoration over the years. I know that the pandemic is affecting everyone as you stated it is even affecting you, but let me simply say to you these videos you are doing are absolutely priceless and thank you so much for sharing your passion with the world.

That was the original muffler? Amazing.

I'm loving the covid edition episodes...just Jay talking about the car at hand and all his knowledge of said car. I love the dash in this thing...would love to have every feature it has in my Jeep for off-road..from the hand throttle to the ability to change brake pressure..I have a old 10 speed gear lever setup with the cable ran to throttle that works as cruise control or just to crawl along in 4x4 on certain trails without having to touch the gas pedal. Helps with a manual...have it mounted to the shifter. Thanks for keeping these coming Jay! ✌️

The IRL part why this part of the story "seems fishy" is that by the time American soldiers entered Berlin at the end of WWII the Soviet (Russian nowadays) soldiers had ransacked the city for several days. If Jay says Frankfurt, Cologne or Hamburg I'd would believed more because the Allies (mostly American, British and French soldiers) entered those cities first, but not Berlin.

That is an absurdly advanced machine for something built in 1928. Darned impressive to this day with features long forgotten. Automatic chassis lubrication is wonderful. The styling of it is both old fashioned and timeless. Phew boy what a car.

Fascinating story of a car. 12 leaf rear springs, the altimeter and automatic timer for checking battery and oil, etc How unique!

This is the most comprehensive explanation of a Duesenberg I've had the pleasure to view!

Altimeter. Duesenberg allowed the driver to adjust the fuel/air mixture to optimize performance for high altitude locations. There was a playing card sized chart that contained settings for the carb based on the altimeter reading. This was done perhaps to sell one to Al Capone who drove his “Dusey” in Denver.

What possessed me to do it I disavow now; to drive a 1964 Pontiac, 326 with a 2 speed transmission, carrying 4 people and luggage for 5 from WI up through Denver (where my ears were the altimiter) to Los Angeles: and oh yes for a manual spark advance going mountains, and a few more metal clothes pins on the fuel line the carb. Other than that, only the pumpkin fell off after I got back to WI.

Now, that makes sense, that the altimeter had a purpose that was more than just vanity. In fact, I remember when I and a couple of buddies drove from NU to Aspen CO to go skiing and as soon as we had passed Denver, and began ascending the east slope of the Rockies...probably when we hit about 8,000' elevation...we were forced to stop at a gas station to have the carburetor mixture leaned out because of the thinner atmosphere...and the reverse on the trip back. I presume with electronic ignitions and computer-controlled fuel injection this is done automatically these days. As for Mr. Leno, it is nice to see that he is not so vain as to restore cars so that they can just sit in a museum.

What a beautiful car! Unique to say the least. The sound, the mechanics the feeling of joy it must deliver. Thank you Jay again for another spectacular presentation that outperforms traditional TV networks productions hands down.

Thank you Mr. Leno!! These episodes are like a “driving/living” history book! You have some pretty good books…

I look forward to these "pandemic edition" episodes every Sunday - each and every one have been some of the best episodes on the channel, IMO. Wish it was in 4k though! Would be cool to be able to see all the detail in the engine compartment/dashboard.

That blue color and beige combo is amazing.

i have watched this and many other episodes multiple times because i love hearing Jay talk about this stories behind the cars. i could literally listen to those stories for hours!

I received a Phaeton and an SJ model kit for my birthday eons ago and fell in love with these cars. So elegant and special. In my eyes there is nothing out there that can top them. Thanks for posting these Jay!

I had to put a fire out in my dad's 2500 Chevy in around 1994 with Welch's Fruit Punch Soda. It used a quart of oil every tank of gas, I forgot to add it on a road trip, pulled over on the side of the road, had no funnel, and hit the manifold with oil. Instant fire. All I had was a case of sodas in the back seat. It worked.

I really enjoy hearing all of Jay's knowledge as he shows these cars and motorcycles . Jay has a true passion and I love it .
