I love that show, and I have a soft spot for the Deusey. My husband and I started watching when he was still using YouTube as his primary platform, and we still watch whenever we see it on.
His garage is my dream garage. Hell, I wouldn’t even have a house. Just the garage with a tiny attached kitchen and a bathroom. And another garage for gun storage.
Jay Leno is the classiest guy on TV.
That he’s a gearhead is just icing on the cake.
His collection is incredible, and his weekly videos are a blast to watch.
I love the Duesenbergs. Those vehicles are the epitome of 1930s luxury and a glided age.
I’m pretty easily pleased. I’d settle for just his bike collection.
Nice Work,
If you can get it!
Excellent post. Thanks!
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 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.
