Yup... Jay and Randy are two of my "Classic Car Heroes!!" I attended Emerson College in Boston with Jay, and we both graduated in 1973, but we weren't friends. We'd pass one another in hallways, and did have one small class (of about 15 people) together, which was an Advanced Speech Class in our final semester. So, even though we weren't friends, I throughly enjoy viewing episodes of his "Jay Leno's Garage" series, and as a result, have been introduced to Randy and his shop of expert restorers.....

Thank you Randy for not just restoring these magificent cars but, not making a J into an SJ or SSJ. The hard work you and your crew do will live forever.
Randy, Im so glad you are there to have all the part's, the ducuments,and the blueprits and history of all the duesenberg model's. you are such a blessing to Duesenburg owner's,.
Very well produced show. And it was great having Randy Ema and Jay Leno as guests. And Jay was very generous in opening his garage up for the show and driving his Duesenberg automobile.
Randy, this is so so incredible. I'm a big fan of the Duecenberg and I think the son made the right decision in trusting you with the history. I've seen several Duecenbergs and they outshine the rest in their beauty.
In 1977 my mom bought me a tee shirt with a (At the time.) gawdy print of Clark Gables Duesenberg, I'd wear it in high school. Then a teacher, who was a car guy, told me where the old saying, "It's a Doozy!" came from.
That Duesenberg coupe is in L.A. Noire, it's the fastest car in the game, that's how I first became aware of Duesenbergs and Cords and Auburns. There's something special about cars from the 30s and 40s.
It's too bad that it took me 30 years to start to appreciate these beautiful cars. Prior to that, if it wasn't muscle car I didn't have time for it. Since then I have evolved. Especially old Delahaye's the old rolling art.
Imagine the sheer worth of those original casting molds today. Like to be able to remake carburetors, Superchargers, etc to factory specifications is amazing. I wonder if someone’s supercharger cracks or breaks if he’ll ever reproduce a replacement for that circumstance
Clearly they should be RE-Hidden in garages around the country and I volunteer mine! Amazing intricate and ahead of their time machines, and TY all for sharing its really a story in each and beyond one of a kind, very enjoyable.
when I was a kid Ms maxon in Leonia NJ sh had a 30s Lincoln v12 Willoughby shofer driven limo only driven on Sundays .smoked a lot was 65yrs ago . always wondered if it survived.
I wonder how a Duesenberg would have looked now, 100 years after the start of the company. Such a shame they, Auburn, Duesenberg and Packard didn't survive. Now we have to deal with Maybach (just a Mercedes with a higher price tag), Bugatti (VW), Bentley (VW) and so on. Original high class limousines are hard to find.
I came to this site to see the cars. I did not come to listen to good-ol'-boys serenading each other as mambers of mutual-admiration society. Never-the-less, they are good-ol'-boys, as good as their cars, sure. --R.T. Thomes (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Duesenberg may be coming back with repeited attempts from investors but I doubt it. The last great mark to attempt a revival was Cunningham and Mercedes quickly shut that down. :(
Sadly, the value of these are just going to go lower n lower. The younger generation's want nothing to do w old cars that are as big as a limo and tough to drive.
Barry Meguiar wastes time trying to be funny and flattering instead of adding knowledge to the conversation or just hearing Randy and Jay teach him a thing or two.

I love how enthusiastic these guys are about their cars. Really enjoyed watching this
I don't usually run over the poor, but when I do, it's in a Duesenberg.
This could've been 4 hours long and I'd still say it was too short. Very fascinating

Duesenberg = Masterpiece!

Passion is such a beautiful thing.

I'm going to own a Duesenberg Model SJ in the near future, and what a wonder day that will be!

Jay is a no lie master. Lord of the cams. Creator of an open ended legacy indeed. Thanks Jay... It will never end.

I would love to go see Jay's car collection, but especially the Duesenbergs

My brother and I were in Auburn today at the museum
when I was a kid Ms maxon in Leonia NJ sh had a 30s Lincoln v12 Willoughby shofer driven limo only driven on Sundays .smoked a lot was 65yrs ago . always wondered if it survived.
bcdhifi yes sometimes tablet knows better didn't want to erase half the message to make it right.i saw that figured everyone would know it's chauffer.

Very Cool.
3:58 Where did you guys first meet? Jay: "Match.com". Lol
The host is really good
He's creepy. Needs to keep his hands to himself and stop the weirdo behavior.
21:45 listen closely, as Leno lets loose with a secret about where they usually source period correct wood for restorations.
Hope its all duplicated and stored separately.

Barry Meguia freaks me out was he an extra in the Munsters?
15:32 These are wrenches to remove the cam cover handwheels.
Sorry I meant Barry Meguiar my apologies Randy Ema.
he gets too close
Are they all still alive?
How many Duesenbergs does Jay own?
does he have his own apprentice though
THATS A DEUZEE !!!!
Restore costs more than the selling price, I don't want one then.
When yooooove got theeee BEST.....F....the rest ....Duesenberg there is no substitute.
Who is the Oompa Loompa?

@cleancab you got that right,
jay better quit talking junk on his show,and clean his show up.
The hosts sing song cute style voice doesn't work for classic cars. I know it is what it is but that's my first reaction
Sadly, the value of these are just going to go lower n lower. The younger generation's want nothing to do w old cars that are as big as a limo and tough to drive.
That Meguire guy is creepy. WAAAY too touchy!! Weirdo.
