How To Start A Steam Car 1909 White Model M | Jay Leno's Garage - Авто та транспорт
Insurance Company: "Does the car have any anti-theft device fitted?"
Jay: "The car IS an anti-theft device!"
@lexani no, sorry, even having watched the video...good luck starting it!!
@@schumannresonanceswithverte exactly dude. imagine "so we've gotta pressurise the fuel... good thing i brought this pressurised tank. okay light the pilot? uhh yeah i brought a blowtorch. okay get the steam up to pressure, uhh, and then get the engine to roll over somehow. and uhh whats do all these pedals do? and why is there two steering wheels. and why are there three fuel tanks?"
yeah good luck getting one started if you're not a professional mechanic who has actually studied how the damn thing works
Ford model T's are like that to. I'd prefer steam power though preferable with a boiler I can just throw wood, coal, spray most any fuel into to boil water and off I go.
meh, it's easy to steal. if you just wait around for an hour as they get it ready. Just hop in before them and drive off lol.
@@Getorix Theres video of you driving one of these?
This really makes you appreciate modern engines that start in 5 seconds.
Name a modem engine that requires 5 seconds to start. That's a long time.
You're so right.
I don't even have to hold the button for 5 seconds to start my truck from inside the office.
if our modern car takes 5 secs to start you got a problem !!!!
@@mwilliamshs diesel
Ridiculous, a Gulfstream screaming by as Jay drives his steam car. That car is almost older than powered flight. So cool to see them coexist. Thanks for showing us how advanced things really were.
yea that was a great contrast shot
@@paultrigger3798 goes to show, new tech can coexist with the old. Jay does a great job of educating us on car history.
You can enjoy the nerd factor of a Tesla and also enjoy the cool factor of a classic Firebird or a steamer.
I enjoy the tech of the new 8RX but our 3020, 4230 and our old Super H will always have a soft-spot in my heart.
Cheers.
And they run on essentially the same fuel, the "oil" can be diesel, jet fuel, or kerosene!
The steam cars are really the most enjoyable and interesting of all Jay's cars. So glad he took this one for a spin!
What i love about jay is that he actually takes the time to learn about the history of every vehicle as well as learning come of the complicated processes of operating some. And to take these cars out to drive them keeping them alive. Hell its what they were made for. I definitely respect the mans passion.
Funny thing is, I've never really been into cars, and I never really liked Jay Leno. But his passion for these vehicles and their history makes this very enjoyable to watch.
Would be alot of fun to learn to operate something like that, very mechanical in a romantic way
@@sKraat528 Watching the.
old master is fun
@@Scott-tm4ez I bet he doesn't make any profits from his garage show tbh. He may make 'some amount' on certain platforms but probably not enough to offset the costs of filming crews and production. I am thankful he shares with us, these well-structured adventures with mechanical history x)
Meanwhile cousin George left at the same time on his horse and made cross country by the time it's started ..in 1909...lol...
That was cool when the train whistled at you! Retired steamfitter and big fan here, superheated steam is very powerful, it is wise to have your own personal steam mechanic on hand due to the high pressure and temperature! Love the brass gauges.
I had already watched it. Just commenting to show support to Jay and the crew for providing us unique high quality content.
Very cool. I got to watch it again and click thumb up again. The sound is synchronized now.
@@nathankaufman9559 sound went out of sync half way through on the old version.
@@nathankaufman9559 Jay's ventriloquist act sucked
same here amigo! watching steam engines on the road doesnt bore me!
@@nathankaufman9559 Jay Leno wants Elon Musk to watch this and bring back this super efficient engine back into production!
I just love how much he is into the cars in his collection ... that amount of passion is just unparalleled. A lot of uber rich people have fantastic collections but you can tell that Jay Leno actually loves and collects these for what they are and their historical value rather than to simply show off his wealth.
60-65 mph in that must be absolutely terrifying :)
I love all the brass and wood! This car is a magnificent piece of art!
Those brass hood latches caught my eye. Such a beautiful detail
This guy is a national treasure. It's very clear that Jay absolutely loves what he does and loves sharing it with the world. Thank you!
Jay never disappoints with good technical info on his cars. I wouldn't want to start the White every day. I really appreciate what Jay and George went through to show us how it works.
As he said, a lot of that would not have to be done on a daily driver!
6:45-6:55 Jay predicted his burn accident. Get well soon Jay!
I once saw two steam cars driving down the road, it was awesome! We have terrible weather in my city so one reason I love summer so much is people bring out their cool vintage cars more.
Several months ago, I was driving SB on San Fernando Blvd close to the noon hour when I came upon what at first I was sure was Mr. J. Thaddeus Toad speeding NB in the fast lane piloting a monstrous bright green motor car with huge brass head lamps and a white plume of steam escaping from the undercarriage. Upon closer inspection, I determined that the driver of said motor car was none other than that well known auto adventurer and bon vivant Sir Jay Leno. Sir Leno had a huge smile on his face and his grey hair was flying in the wind, headed no doubt for some great adventure!
Tally Ho, Sir Jay, Tally Ho I say and well done!!!
This is what makes UA-cam special. This is top notch quality viewing,
People are so lucky and fortunate to get to watch this for free or even at all. There is no ways a regular person can get to watch this level of engineering history and also car history. Thanks Jay!!!
I love that Jay is cruising around town wearing his mechanic overalls!!!
Thanks Jay, for doing what almost no one in the world is willing to do…restore a steam car from 100+ years ago, and show us how it works, while driving it on the streets of LA. Amazing!
I always appreciate that Jay, when talking about these vehicles . he says WE....never I...... a true gentleman that realizes all of these vehicles require a WE to accomplish the end goal
Like every good racer
He has a lot of people and a lot of skilled craftsmen he calls on to help him restore his cars. He has the Amish to restore and rebuild the wooden spoke wheels for all his antique cars. They can mimic the factory wheels with extreme precision so much you can't even tell it wasn't an actual OEM wheel.
I’m not into steam cars. I watched this video because I knew Jays passion would be entertaining. However, this machine is really interesting. Jay is doing a service to those of us that know nothing of these types of machines.
Jay jokes about the dangers of " being burned " 6:40 ... Get well Jay . 🙏
What a beautiful showpiece. Thanks for sharing Jay. I prefer most of your private collection, the antique motorcars are second to none.
This was reuploaded probably because the original had sound sync problems.
you know the content's good when you don't care about the audio sync!
@@P51 exactly! I looked past the minor glitches, as these Jay Leno Garage videos are my favorite when it's just him and his automobiles.
I was wondering why it was re-uped. Thanks
Thank YOU Jay!! My son loves trains, and this made his day (and mine). What your show does is amazing! You are bringing the mechanical arts and engineering arts to a new, and younger audience (& a few old guys🙂). Thank you again!!!
Thanks for bringing back some memories of my youth, Jay. My Great Uncle, my grandmother's brother-in-law, had a Stanley Steamer. Uncle Wayne used to visit once in a while and of course we all had to go for a ride. I think the whole family could fit in the back seat the car was so big. he used to toot his whistle for us as we rode down the street.
Tragically Uncle Wayne and my Aunt passed away and 3-4 passengers were badly burnt and his Stanley Steamer destroyed in a fire while in a parade at Knott's Berry Farm due to a propane tank leak. The propane was used for the pilot light. This was back in the late 60's.
F
Lol
I was there when that happened. I was there with my grandpa and I was young but remember a couple of young girls being baby burned too
Get well soon, Jay!
This is some super hot, steamy, blow-the-whistle stuff Jay's packin'.
@@datingzoneo798 reported
I just want to say you're an amazing man for restoring all of these cars and the knowledge that you have You're very intelligent and very well spoken You have a fantastic collection of all sorts of things and you should be proud thank you for sharing your hobbies with us
All the sounds it makes really adds to the charm of it.
I love how you tinker and know by heart everything on all of your cars! I enjoy the fact that you don't have a problem getting your hands dirty and and this, dear sir, means true passion!
Second time I've watched this,that was an amazing machine for 1908
My grandfather traveled from Philadelphia to Ontario Canada in a Stanley with his grandfather somewhere in the early 1920s always said he drove the whole way while great great grandfather drank whiskey he was 9or 10 at the time. Like a time machine these living history vehicles and their stories should never die . Thank you Jay 😎
What season was it when they made that awesome trek? I'm from Sudbury Ontario by the way.
20:22 the history of powered transportation in one screen shot!
Jay, you are so much like my dad who has sadly passed away.he was an aircraft and autobmobile mechanic. Watching your videos gives me great comfort. He yoused to find comfort In them as well. You may not even know what your truly doing. Thank you
I believe this is the car that caught fire and sent Jay to the hospital with serious burns. Get well Jay !
George is putting the hood on and Jay is laying on the horn like a kid.
That's what I like about Jay, knowledgeable but fun.
Loved it when you tooted your horn at the train and he did it right back 😅👌
6:47 revelations
yeah I think all the long time viewers of JLG thought of the White being the cause of the flash fire when George was interviewed and said it was the steam car.
Jays older cars are always my favorite. Thank you for keeping steam alive!
I just love how everyone salutes Mr. Jay and he wave them back. I mean who wouldn’t!
jay leno is a real car guy
It's so great that Jay teaches us about these incredible old, very specific, steam cars and how they run. Thanks Jay.
*Prayers and best wishes for Jay and his family, he is currently undergoing treatment for severe burn injuries he received while starting this steam car.*
Ya know most 70+ year old multi millionaires dont do this sort of thing. Jays enthusiasm is simply contagious and inspiring ❤
That whistle gets me, love it! Like you said, there is a romance with steam, has to be how involved you are with the machine, the opposite of our cars now. This car has more personality than every car made in 2022 combined.
Oldiest but goldiest.
Loving the steam cars Jay, thanks for sharing these beauties and explaining how they work. Many books on early cars gloss over steam as it saying they didn't work vs gasoline once electric start came along. Very true but this brings the trials and joys of steaming to life! The White and the Doble were highly complex for their time. I think of steam cars like the Chrysler turbine car.... an interesting road not taken but fascinating in any case. Electric cars were written off for dead once and are now coming back as batteries improved ... maybe steam will someday too
It sure would be nice to see a modern styling of a steam car. Abner Doble came the closest to what a modern steam car could have been.
Taconic66, once people start loosing electrical power like is already happening on the left coast, and people suffer or even die due to hot day traffic jams, the electrical fad will be over.
I wish you a speedy recovery Jay! I hope the White Model M 40hp wasn't irreparably damaged and you can now have a restoration project for your show. Stay cool and stay healthy!!!
Me too. I hope him and the car are doing well.
But yeah, it would be a good restoration project for him.
Pretty easy to see in this video the point where the gasoline may have sprayed Jay during the startup.
Very enjoyable, a marvellous steam car,; I love steam the brass the lot, steam whistle and all. Thanks 🇬🇧
_"the nice thing is it can't overheat, that's the cool part"_ ~ nicely done Jay
Love the videos Mr. Leno, and I truly appreciate the time, money and energy that has gone into purchasing, restoring and maintaining your collection.. I especially like the older cars you show.. Someday I would love to take a tour of your collection.. ✌♥️🇺🇸
Thank YOU Jay, for being who you are - one of the very few all-round car enthousiasts/collectors/mechanics of this magnitude. I AM a steam-train lover as well, and any steam car you cover is enormously fascinating.
Jay Leno literally created the best Car and motorcycle show ever created.
Always a great host since the tonight show, always laugh at his jokes. So hard for comedians these days to be funny these days without profanity and todays environment of political correctness but Leno makes it look easy.
Beyond that, the show is binge worthy, the perfect mix of old and modern and it’s literally the right pick me up when I’m down or depressed. It makes me happy that even though I’ve lost everything I was able to scrounge up and by myself a 2004 Yamaha Yzf R6!
Take it from Leno, if you spend your time on hobbies instead of vices and drugs women and drink, you’ll be able to keep a illustrious head of hair! Just like his favourite category of cars, his hair is original and unrestored
I could listen to him explain things for hours, I love his car related catchphrase’s!
I Pray for Jay to have continued health and longevity! As a lover of motorcycles, Truck’s and cars of all kinds!
Thanks for this show, you have no idea how much it keeps me through difficult times!
Thanks 🙏
Had the pleasure and privilege of riding in a 1910 White , lead car , for the 1984 Brighton Beech run in New York . It was a "race " that began in Bay Ridge Brooklyn and proceeded down Ocean Parkway over the Brooklyn Bridge to Herald Square and back to finish in Brighton Beech !
Thanks Jay!
I was having a hard time starting mine this morning. Almost got late to work.
have a great day at work!
Thank you! Now i finally know how to start my 1909 White model M Steam Car! Been staring at this thing in my garage for weeks... OH and don't bother checking up on yours.
That's so fascinating! You have an amazing car collection. Ran into a guy just before a car show started in Florida about a decade ago that had an old vehicle you wanted. He said only 2 excisted. Believe he was from Texas. He seemed joyful you didn't have it and wanted it. Thanks for sharing your collection. Especially these super old cars.
I really enjoy a little alchemy to get the car started for a ride. I also love that Jay wears coveralls and safety boots. Having worn those as an aircraft mechanic in the military it takes me back....
Now I understand why you needed to be an engineer to operate a train. To drive one of these, too. :0) Too cool.
If this car was built today, all of the efforts Jay put into to start it would be handled electronically. The gas gauge would be on the dash too.😃
FASCINATING!!! I’m a serious gear head and love every single motor vehicle in creation, I swear it’s a sickness...😁
My pops even got to meet Henry Ford obviously way before I came along, (I’m 49) and he was a mechanical genius. (Pops-but also Mr. Ford. 💥)
And I never knew these type of vehicles existed!! It’s beautiful. And the engineering involved in this....I don’t have the words. How bout WOW...?
Jay Leno is a serious scholar when it comes to all these amazing vehicles and I’m so happy that there’s a “normal” relatable person who obviously enjoys all these fascinating machines, to learn all these things. Thank you, Mr. Leno. 👏👏👏
This is absolutely amazing! One of my most favorite videos of his!
Oh thank god... I've been waiting 90 years for the internet and someone to do this how to video. Thanks Jay.
Now I can finally pick up my date for prom.
I've enrolled in a course on how the car operates. After that I get an apprenticeship on how to start the car. When that's done, if all goes well and I pass all my exams and qualify I'll eventually be accepted into the rigorous driving exams.
@@olliefoxx7165 I used to know a kid who knew steam engines. Bright lad named Samuel Clemens... look him up if you need an able hand.
@@rothloaf1980 Seems I've heard of this kid. I think we share a class in Mr Watts or Mr Saverys course.
@@olliefoxx7165 He's a longhair and takes too much of the tobacco, but very funny. Always wears a white suit...
Starting this car is no more laborious than hooking up a four horse hitch.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us !!
God Bless you Jay, Happy New Year and thank you for sharing such great car history with all of us
WE LOVE LENO'S STEAM CARS! -and how great to see a segment with those again! it's been so long and he's been working on them for a long time it appears! what a great way to end/start the year!
One of your best efforts Jay. I am blown away there are still 167 extant world wide. Simply a beautiful piece of engineering / art.
I hope you get well soon🙏🏾
one of the first episodes I've watched! Shows the amazing depth of knowledge he has with vehicles.
Thank you Jay for the fantastic videos! 👌
The White Steam car is one of my all time favorite vehicles. I remember going to the county fair as a kid some 50 plus years ago and have always been fascinated with the steam engines. One time there was a White Steam car, I think it was a maroon, red, and gold color. Don't know if it was a 40 horse or not, but it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thanks for the reminder of a great childhood memory.👌🤙
Love the train solidarity and the tidbit about president Taft.
Really cool. I love the way you have not only saved rare cars like this, but that you also get them out and drive them. Its important that old cars are seen.
Thank you Jay for the joy you spread
I love J dude. He really puts me in a good mood
Thanks, Jay, for taking us along with you.
Absolutely amazing. This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while! You had to be a smart person to operate this car.
@XANA🎀 reported
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing it and showing us how to start it.
Love it Jay. Thanks for taking us along.
I already watched this a couple days ago with the wrong audio sync. But happy to watch again
Wow! This is so cool! A train-car! Thank you so much for showing this to us! Happy new year, Jay! 😊
This is soooo fascinating, I am so blessed to have seen this episode. I am so grateful. It makes me appreciate mechanics, engines and American History in automobiles
Love how they showed the effort to fix a video. I love you jay!
It's amazing all the knowledge Jay has and his ability to work all of it. I've thanked him before for giving all the info to history.
Thanks for showing and teaching people about Steam Jay!
Imagine going to work and seeing jay leno drive by in a steam car
This will provide useful to future owners and museum curators wondering how to start their steam cars. Thanks for keeping this jewel in working condition and driving it instead of just gathering dust in a static display!
Thank you for doing this Jay! It is so interesting this day and time, thank you for keeping it alive
I enjoyed hearing the history of the White steam car and seeing you put it through its paces. By the way, your shoes also took me back in time "a few years." Thanks very much!
Very interested Thanks you Jay I always wanted to know how a steam car worked. The brass and the wood worked absolutely beautiful
Imagine running late for work and forgetting to start this thing lol
thank you for reuploading and fixing the delayed audio!
love Jay's lane discipline! lol
What an amazing car! Thank you for showing it, Jay.
Oh that's great 👍🏻 That's History 👌.
Thank you Jay for all Classic ones
Respect , I like the Engineering of steam engines .
American steam technology was the Most beautyfull on earth .
I still Love the wild West steam Train model
Greetings from Holland .
I had to laugh as I found my self listening carefully , Just in case I ever get one of these beautys, LO, and lets face it George is the main man in Jay's garage, Thank you Jay , for all the great vids.
Wow, how cool is that?!?! Love how well Jay knows all his cars.
LOVE the steam! And Jay's knowledge
