Deuseys are nice, but Ive been hooked on the Cadillac V-16 ever since I heard one being started up. No noise or vibration whatsoever.

When I was a kid I had a metal toy Dusey of some later vintage(i thnk).
I wonder what it would be worth today.

My grandfather was a chauffeur so I know what it was like from his pictures and stories. He drove a Duesenberg and a 16 cylinder Cadillac.
So cool!
I wrote about these cars and their chauffeurs in this book, "Stretching It: the Story of the Limousine" -- FRmail me and I'll send you a copy.

Both feet firmly on terra firma.Yup. My bro-in-law ran into him on some ride in the LA area. Said he was just a regular guy, standing around and talking cars with everyone ... even got under some guy's car to fix a minor problem. Miss him, miss his show ... Kimmel couldn't carry his toolbox.

My buddies and I ran into Mr. Leno a few months back while having lunch at Taste Chicago in Burbank. This place was owned and operated my Joe Mantegna. We where there a couple of months ago on the last day of operation. Mr. Mantegna was nothing but a gentleman.
Jay was driving a 1918 Pierce Arrow, and, since we were not being autograph hounds, but rather auto enthusiasts, he gave us the most gracious tour of the car. He is a gear head, unpretentious, and a genuine nice guy. My understanding is that his “garage” is near the Burbank airport, and watching his videos it’s obvious he’s driving around that area on every show. He is also a real gentleman. I’m lucky to have met them both.

“Kimmel couldn’t carry his toolbox.”
Kimmel secretly wishes he was good enough to be in the same room with Leno’s toolbox.
