In 20 years we will look back on these short films and realize that Jay is an "American automotive treasure". I'm watching each week and really enjoying and trying to appreciate them for what they are - Simply Wonderful! Thank you Jay!
It's not "for your entertainment". He just happens to have a show about his hobby. It has to be done if you care about the car and making sure all the money spent on restoration is not just pissed away into the garbage can. You have to drive cars regularly and often to keep the engine, gearbox, seals, gasoline, and every other part on it lubricated, exercised, and making sure it does not rust solid and lock up. There's been many a story of some idiot that restores their car for a nest egg, leaves it sit for 20+ years in their garage, they go to sell it when "the price is right", and every single rubber part has rotted away and the engine is seized up and the entire block needs a total teardown and cleaning before it will even start. So that "fully restored" car is now worth nothing because its a non-runner that just looks pretty.
I just watched Shmee at Manny's garage and he was wearing gloves to just open up his Bugatti and Speedtail. Then said he wears booties and gloves to drive. His cars are no doubt beautiful but they're more pieces of art than anything you'd want to drive and appreciate as the hypercars they are.
These pandemic videos are actually better than the regular versions because we get to hear Jay tell stories and history. It's very interesting. There's no guests to interrupt or to ask questions to so we get Jay's full attention which is very nice
Agreed, I prefer these pandemic editions by far, its just Jay and the car of the week no other distraction, far better then some new UNobtainable silly car.
Yes once this country reaches "herd immunity" Jay needs to look the algorithm for these "pandemic" videos and he will see that he needs keep this format.
Speaking to the "not driving at night" My grandfather had a house with a large yard at the edge of town in 1919. "We" lived (I was born in the house) a 14 hour drive North of Chicago. (5 hours at modern speeds with modern cars) One evening a guy knocked on the door and asked if he could pitch a tent in his yard for the night. The next night grandpa put up an electric light and within a few days the whole yard was full of tents. He then hired guys to build one room cabins for people to stay. Had over a dozen rented even before they had the roof's on. The next year he built a Hotel. .....All because it was a day's drive for the new craze of automobile vacationing. Those hey days lasted until the 60's. Ah ...the good old days.
Things were so simple back then. Or at least they seem to be simple in retrospective. Most of us who watch this video now (including me) were basically "dead" during those times, so we can't really tell from experience ^^
Jay, you’ve become America’s auto educator, giving us insights into automobiles we would never have heard of otherwise. Pray you won’t run out of uniquely interesting autos before the restrictions end. I loved your comments about sitting by the pool when there’s work to be done! Keep up the great work!
Look up Chase automobiles. That's one Jay might not be able to show, but worth looking at. Largely forgotten, one of the pioneers, and, the man behind the name, also deserves to be known.
Jay Leno is such an interesting person with a vast knowledge plus he is a gracious human being. What a treat to see these great cars and great engineering explained with Jay's enthusiasm and humor.
And who cares about the new stuff? There’s no mind-centric engineering that’s gonna make you say, holy crap that’s brilliant but in general they do look the crap part. Half the reason the ‘new’ corvette looks good is because of how many new cars look like the teletubbies drew them. Old cars like this?! Just awesome cuz they work (ed) so well, and then you look at them and they’re awesome sitting still. The old stuff is cool because it is. The new stuff is blah cuz it’s like a ‘format’ song on the radio. Boring and same-o.
Very true. I totally agree with you. Plus there are enough shows to highlight new cars but not many to showcase old cars and who better than Jay Leno himself
While the standard of video that we all enjoyed pre-covid were impressive and beautifully done, I actually like these "pandemic edition" videos just as much if not more. There is a certain intimacy involved... more of a feeling of "being there". And the fact that Jay never wants to disappoint anyone just shows what a wonderful entertainer and showman he really is. Don't think for a moment that we as fans don't appreciate his efforts and the product he turns out as a solo act. Thanks, Jay.
I find it funny that everyone seems to forget these pandemic edition format videos were how he started out these videos before inviting others to come and show off their cars.
Don’t apologize for Pandemic Edition content. It’s great. You’re so generous to share your collection with the public. We literally get to ride with you in one-of-a-kind cars. Thanks!
Jay Leno is one of the most gracious men I have ever seen. We can all learn from him. I believe it is the perhaps the biggest factor in his success as a TV personality. God Bless you, Jay Leno.
You mean 15:53? You're totally right though, he not only has a impressive inventory of cars, he shows them without reservation in all the pro and cons, and is a top presenter also! Without being pedantic or condensensing.
Wood is put into a closed box, usually metal. The steam heats the wood up to a point it becomes semi plastic and easy to bend. It is bent to a form clamped to that and allowed to cool. When it becomes cool it retains the shape it was bent to,
Jay keeps mentioning how expensive the car WAS back in the day but I imagine there aren't many people TODAY that could afford that car as it sits now. Thanks, Jay, for saving it.
I don't think Jay will run out of cars. Weren't there something like 37+ automobile manufacturers in the 1920s and 30s. I probably should have looked this up, I'm just adding the number from memory.
@@mrdanforth3744 Yeah, like some companies only made 40 cars of one variety and went bankrupt. Also, in the 1890’s and 1900’s when steam cars were all the rage because combustion engines were still in their infancy, many companies involved with factory and train steam engine production simply miniaturized their tech and put it in a horse buggy/coach chassis...
I watched some "pre-pandemic" videos of yours over the weekend. I have to say, I enjoy these more than the ones where you have guests. I'm not saying all the guests were bad; some were quite good. Still, these feel more like you're hanging with a friend who's got the ultimate man cave.
Finally, someone who doesn't assume that Jay is there alone. The entire A/V crew, including lighting and production, are out of camera. The absence of any guests certainly does make for a Jay and ME kind of experience.
@@captainbart Jay has said several times that he was alone in the garage. He also has excused himself for a moment to move the camera. You are not paying attention to the videos.
The most beautiful engine you have shown us, it could be displayed in an art museum. The interior wow! Thanks again for making Monday morning enjoyable. Stay healthy and please keep showing us these incredible vehicles.
Thanks for being the only visible historical car owner-true caretaker and also historian! At 80 I'm just getting to viewcars I've only heard or read of! So pleasureable understanding the history and seeing them from top to bottom but better even underway In typical Ca beautiful conditions! Your the best most knowledgeable car guy alive a Patriot to all!
Ha, I forgot that one from my youth.. My dad (who had a small antique car restoration business) used to say lets play "Borg-Warner" transmission. He would do the clutch and I'd do the shifting :)
Jay ,,,Do not apologize to anyone for anything when you have done nothing,your a comedian. They feed on that stuff. Jus blow them off and dont speak to any of them. Giving them the time of Day invites them in. Your to good for that stuff.Bless you.
You’ve really spent your money on a wonderful thing. Preserving these historic cars is a gift to posterity. Again, the Pandemic videos are the best. Thanks, Uncle Jay!
This is what this man was placed on this earth to do,and do it well he does ! He knows about motors (automobiles ) because he has always been interested in all of them, What better heritage is there for the job than Italian American, art and practical know how combined that's culture fusion. Well done that man!
This type of videos are the best Jay ! i think i'm speaking for all of us here when i say i could spend hours hearing you talk, no music no nothing just Jay telling stories.
I love the pandemic editions with no production added. It’s so relaxing to watch, nothing loud, no fast cuts, I just really, really hope you will continue doing your show like this ever after things open up! I need the calm!
Thankyou Jay for your time and others. You inspire a new generation to the examples of perfection in different times of existence. We appreciate and enjoy your lifes work. Please never stop. Stay safe. We love you. The world
I just got a antique car coin set that (among others) included a Simplex, so when I saw that he uploaded a video on one of the portrayed makes, I was amazed.
Besides the unbelievable awesome cars in these videos I really like the way you treat the viewers as if they were your best friends like when you say let's walk around to the other side and I'll show you... I feel like I'm in the garage with you and we're having a beverage and you're showing off your collection in a warm and welcoming way. Not snooty or condescending. Thank you Jay for welcoming me to your home and treating like a friend. Oh and for showing me your amazing car collection. I put this in the top 2 of shows on UA-cam. I reserve number 1 for chop cut rebuild because my automotive passion is in muscle cars and Dan woods actually welcomes me in his home. The best thing about watching these shows is how the hosts make you feel like you're there and not just a spectator. When I watch this I can smell the leather and gasoline. Sssmmm ahhh!
These videos will last the test of time. I can see where future historians will access Jay's videos for the treasures they are. These videos are a testament to our time and a record of Jay Leno as a down-to-earth, modest human being we can all learn from. He has worked very hard to be the success that he is, and yet never talks about it. A life well-lived.
What a beautiful car. You never cease to amaze me. Simplex made all kinds of things. Trucks, jacks and pulleys and so many other things. I knew they made a few cars but till now never seen one. So thank you for your time and effort to show us all these amazing old jewels.
Jay is the man!. I'm so appreciative I grew up with his influence .. mostly the later years but my sister used to watch him on late night. Genuine generation , I wish there were more people like this. This channel should have 10 mill subs .
Jay will go down in my memory as a brilliant car mind of my generation.... by far eclipsing the tonight show as an impressive accomplishment in his legacy for me, personally.
Man that's some manufacturers warranty "For life" especially when you factor the cost of repair. Great to see the variety of vehicles on this channel. Keep up the good work Jay you're helping us keep sane during these crazy times
LOL! I'm sure the manufacturer was aware that the vast majority of people who were wealthy enough to afford their cars were also pretty old and not likely to be around too much longer. And the "rich kid" customers would probably get tired of the car after a year or two and trade it in on something new.
I just love these old cars . It felt like this car took be back in time . And jay driving down the fenced plot looked like how it would have been in the old days . This car is so genius and complicated at the same time . Fascinating
Pebble Beach, bought it from Harrahs....no one else but Jay can talk about stuff like this without sounding arrogant or, HoityToity. Gotta appreciate Jay Leno and the down to earth nature. One of the worlds greatest collections. As always, thank you Jay, for sharing your passion with us. Pandemic or not, you are appreciated!
@@svtzeater Republicans or Democrats let them enjoy the masks 🎭 while it lasts. Sooner or later everyone will want to breathe. Can’t wait to be on track in Texas one day 🎢
Like most everything guaranteed for life, the product out lived the company. Every gearhead in the world loves these video’s, it’s free entertainment to us. Thanks Jay for making them and sharing.
110 HP at that time was absolutely insane! Good cars having like 20 HP, you were the king of the road with this beast! I would like to drive something that old!
God, I miss the car collection at the Imperial Palace. That was my absolute favorite thing to do in Vegas. My wife would go to the forums at Caesar’s and I would go across the street to ogle cars. Just an absolute wonderland of weird and exotic cars. I was heartbroken when I found out it was gone.
Hey Jay I grew up in Niagara Falls and being a car guy, I was always dreaming about the Pierce Arrows. Well about twenty years ago I went to the Forest Grove Oregon Concur d Elegance and was blown away by the Crane Simplex there. It had to be the most massive and spectacular boat tail speedster I had ever seen. The elderly gentleman owner was amazing and we had a unforgettable conversation about his Crane Simplex. I’ll never forget leather and lambs wool belts that held the engine cowl in place. I must have used an entire role of film on that car alone. Thanks for sharing your car and explaining the history of the company. Fantastic !! These Covid vids, because they are so personal and simple, are a treat. Bella !!
@@nickturner2813 It was rebuilt twice because it rotted away in private owner's museums and was never driven. But blackscotydog is right, it's because it is all mechanical, you can just get on a lathe and make any parts that cannot be obtained, and if something is stuck, whack it with a mallet. The Honda Insight EV-1 for example is a computerized car, and it is only 20 years old and already you cannot get battery packs anymore from OEM. You have to get 3rd party battery packs and at a cost of $8,000. Also the capacitors and circuitry in the digital gauge cluster start to go bad and you need to find a computer repair shop just to rebuild that.
I find just amazing, how Jay is creating some kind of a digital memorials for these extrordinary examples of beautiful craftmanship. The high times in terms of arts & craft of human mankind.
15:50 With that much trouble getting into the seat, I wonder how Jay managed to get back out. He's not as spry as he once was. "Johnson! Get over here and lend me a hand!" Hee hee... 😅 😂 🤣
Thanks not only for keeping the videos going during the pandemic, but also for doing early cars like this. I love all of them, but seeing and hearing the really old stuff on the street is a true treat, especially from someone who's down to earth and willing to share it all with us. Thanks!
You are not just a rich guy with a car collection. You are not just a car historian. Your not just s comedic personality. You are all three. Thank you for sharing!
Those air vents are called dorades. They allow air and rain to be taken in, separated, and the air goes to the cabin while the water drains out the bottom, which is not shown in the video. The name comes from the name of the ship they were originally invented for. The ship was named after the dorade fish. So the fish became a ship which in turn spawned the vent style.
Thank you Jay! Keep these going for us! I can’t help but feel like I’m listening to a good friend tell me about his car! You have a great way of connecting with your audience.
Wow! How to put a Smile on Your face !!! ;-) the clock and little wired light are nice touches, Workmanship of this era was outstanding~! Love the Story , Love going along for the Ride with M.Leno !!
phenomenally beautiful, especially the engine bay. Its perfect! Thanks again Jay for those so personal shows in pandemic mode, i guess we should never change this anymore
There is something organic, fresh and fascinating about the pandemic version other show. The "at home" feel that we are getting from Leno is nostalgic and unlike any other show. The cherry on top is that he now has time to tell his personal stories about the car or history which is captivating. I'm glued to my seat.
I love the relaxing world of Jay Leno's Garage .....
In 20 years we will look back on these short films and realize that Jay is an "American automotive treasure". I'm watching each week and really enjoying and trying to appreciate them for what they are - Simply Wonderful! Thank you Jay!
Jay’s the only guy who would drive the “only one in existence” for our entertainment. Thanks for the pandemic editions.
@@SAIFSWORLDFUN His garage is not open to the public.... unfortunately.

My father worked in the auto industry from 1931 until he died, he would have loved these videos.

I'll always be immensely jealous of Jay's collection, but the fact he drives everything he owns makes me happy knowing they are loved and cared for.
These "pandemic edition" videos are excellent, Jay. The lack of pizazz actually helps us experience the raw feel the car a bit more. Thank you!
Agreed, I prefer these pandemic editions by far, its just Jay and the car of the week no other distraction, far better then some new UNobtainable silly car.
Just order some pizzaz while watching Jay, problem solved!

As always, thank you Jay, for sharing your passion with us.
Pandemic or not, you are appreciated!
Again, thanks for the deep dive into your collection Jay. The 'pandemic edition' videos are the best.
What a spectacular veteran automobile. Beautiful
I really want this Pandemic to be over, But I really don't want these Pandemic Edition monologues to be over.
Agreed
🙂
It’s over in republican states, It was so nice to enjoy some racing in Texas last week without stupid masks
@@svtzeater Republicans or Democrats let them enjoy the masks 🎭 while it lasts. Sooner or later everyone will want to breathe. Can’t wait to be on track in Texas one day 🎢
@@svtzeater the pandemic is very much still happening in republican states. They just don’t care.
Fully documented constantly restored. This car IS a treasure. Keepin' it alive. Jay, you are the BEST.
Love these pandemic edition’s. It’s like you’re actually hanging out with Jay
Like most everything guaranteed for life, the product out lived the company. Every gearhead in the world loves these video’s, it’s free entertainment to us. Thanks Jay for making them and sharing.
Yes, just try and take it to your local neighborhood Simplex dealer. LOL.
What a fun episode! Thanks, Jay!
One of the most exiting car i'v ever seen. Greetings from Serbia.
Jay Can’t leave out the “have your man do it” line when describing these kinds of cars, it’s hilarious.
@MRGRUMPY53 he must also wash it.
Truth is, a Gentleman’s Gentleman was a master of all trades necessary for the elite life of the time. As well as a bodyguard.
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 sure why not lol.
@@concernedcitizen2766 Consider Alfred from Batman
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 yeah Alfred would the “man” referred to in those early owners manuals.
110 HP at that time was absolutely insane! Good cars having like 20 HP, you were the king of the road with this beast! I would like to drive something that old!
God, I miss the car collection at the Imperial Palace. That was my absolute favorite thing to do in Vegas. My wife would go to the forums at Caesar’s and I would go across the street to ogle cars. Just an absolute wonderland of weird and exotic cars. I was heartbroken when I found out it was gone.
I completely forgot about that til now. I never got to see it, and i went to vegas many times when they had it.
Hey Jay
I grew up in Niagara Falls and being a car guy, I was always dreaming about the Pierce Arrows. Well about twenty years ago I went to the Forest Grove Oregon Concur d Elegance and was blown away by the Crane Simplex there. It had to be the most massive and spectacular boat tail speedster I had ever seen. The elderly gentleman owner was amazing and we had a unforgettable conversation about his Crane Simplex. I’ll never forget leather and lambs wool belts that held the engine cowl in place. I must have used an entire role of film on that car alone. Thanks for sharing your car and explaining the history of the company. Fantastic !!
These Covid vids, because they are so personal and simple, are a treat.
Bella !!
Thanks for the effort Jay. These brass era cars are so interesting, and well made 105 years old and still going!
It's only still going because *it was completely rebuilt 25 years ago* ...Jesus
@@nickturner2813 It was able to be rebuilt because its not made out of plastic and microchips.
@@nickturner2813 It was rebuilt twice because it rotted away in private owner's museums and was never driven. But blackscotydog is right, it's because it is all mechanical, you can just get on a lathe and make any parts that cannot be obtained, and if something is stuck, whack it with a mallet. The Honda Insight EV-1 for example is a computerized car, and it is only 20 years old and already you cannot get battery packs anymore from OEM. You have to get 3rd party battery packs and at a cost of $8,000. Also the capacitors and circuitry in the digital gauge cluster start to go bad and you need to find a computer repair shop just to rebuild that.
I find just amazing, how Jay is creating some kind of a digital memorials for these extrordinary examples of beautiful craftmanship. The high times in terms of arts & craft of human mankind.
15:50 With that much trouble getting into the seat, I wonder how Jay managed to get back out. He's not as spry as he once was. "Johnson! Get over here and lend me a hand!" Hee hee... 😅 😂 🤣
I watch him and think I wouldn't be much better...at less than half his age!
And that's not exactly a "roomy" seat, either!
Thanks not only for keeping the videos going during the pandemic, but also for doing early cars like this. I love all of them, but seeing and hearing the really old stuff on the street is a true treat, especially from someone who's down to earth and willing to share it all with us. Thanks!
Thanks for the automotive history, the views of a car I would never have heard about or seen otherwise, and the top-down drive and chat! Great stuff!
You are not just a rich guy with a car collection. You are not just a car historian. Your not just s comedic personality. You are all three. Thank you for sharing!
Those air vents are called dorades. They allow air and rain to be taken in, separated, and the air goes to the cabin while the water drains out the bottom, which is not shown in the video. The name comes from the name of the ship they were originally invented for. The ship was named after the dorade fish. So the fish became a ship which in turn spawned the vent style.
Every days aschoolday .Thanks
Thanks, I did not know that.
@Martin King Damn. You are a fount of information. Kudos to you
"Spawned" Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!🤣🤣🤣👍
@Martin King thanks for the info! I wonder if the boat maker copied them from the car?
I am totally floored about this automobile, what a great craft man put this beautiful luxury car together.
Love to see them thank you Jay.
Gotta love those vintage cars! Thank you Jay for all you do!
Thank you Jay!
Thank you Jay! Keep these going for us! I can’t help but feel like I’m listening to a good friend tell me about his car! You have a great way of connecting with your audience.
I prefer these pandemic editions. They feel more personal.
This video was therapeutic for me.
♫ Forget all your troubles, c'mon get happy. ♫ 😀
These videos are so relaxing. Like watching a master perform or demonstrate. Just so awesome and appreciated.
That is the most beautiful motor I have ever seen.
This like every episode is Awesome. Thanks Jay..
Thanks Jay! These videos are my weekly drug for years now! God Bless you!
Wow! How to put a Smile on Your face !!! ;-) the clock and little wired light are nice touches, Workmanship of this era was outstanding~! Love the Story , Love going along for the Ride with M.Leno !!
Our ancestors were pretty smart people
Jay Leno sticks in there. Does it himself. Thanks bud.
phenomenally beautiful, especially the engine bay. Its perfect! Thanks again Jay for those so personal shows in pandemic mode, i guess we should never change this anymore
There is something organic, fresh and fascinating about the pandemic version other show. The "at home" feel that we are getting from Leno is nostalgic and unlike any other show. The cherry on top is that he now has time to tell his personal stories about the car or history which is captivating. I'm glued to my seat.
inside the engine bay it looks like a small beer brewery :)
Thank you Jay. I really appreciate your videos - it's like going to Car University.
Beautiful car, that is a peace of art just beautiful.
I’ve waited a looonnngggg time to see this car in good quality! Thank you very much!
SOOOOOO interesting and informative. Really appreciate these shows
Thunks Jay for keeping the dream going through this pandemic. Keeps me smiling. Cheers
I love that in 5 hours, Leno can garner 52,000 views on a beautiful machine produced over 100 years ago.
You're a treasure, Jay. Thanks for sharing your world with us.
absolutly stunning the engine bay is almost like steampunk love it
Wonderful fun, as usual. Thank you for going back into your garage and featuring the cars you’ve had a long time. These are the best.
