    What a cool experience! A great memory you will cherish. I don’t have a favorite Duesenberg. In fact I don’t have a Duesenberg. Back in the late 70’s I lived in Oklahoma City. Jokers comedy club was nearby and my two goofy buddies and I would go there to see Jay Leno perform when he was in town. We were always on or near the front row. Years later, Jay was on the Tonight Show sharing some of his fondest memories of his club touring days. He said that his favorite place to do his act was at Jokers club in OKC. I silently said, “You’re welcome”. 😉

    Jay would have been a car guy even if he never hit it big. Working at Mercedes as a kid... owning & driving his '50's Buick in the '70's... this kept him "real". Having hit it big, just gave him a chance to indulge his passion for things automotive and the people & stories behind the engineering. But being down to earth and a true gentleman has given him... and us, the chance to be blessed by his generosity and spirit of love for all, and to share his love of cars and engineering. God grant him many long years, and much joy! So wonderful your dad got such a special moment. Give Jay a big thank you from the rest of us too!

    Steve, what a gift and blessing for your father ! In that era, my favorite cars were the Dussies. Fell in love with them the first time I saw one at the Harrah's Auto Collection Museum in Reno, NV a few decades back. They had 3 huge warehouse buildings of cars...unfortunately, all of that was sold off years ago. You have to have an eye for craftsmanship and engineering to fully appreciate what the Duesenberg brand was all about. Just amazing cars and they were fast for the era. We are about 30 minutes from Jay's Big Dog Garage and have never been there....yet.
