  • 1928 Bugatti Type 37A. The house of Bugatti is known for producing some of the fastest, most exclusive cars of all time. Iconoclastic founder Ettore Bugatti was born to a family of sculptors and architects in Milan. Rather than follow in his famous father's footsteps, Bugatti brought the family aesthetic to designing engines and racing vehicles.

      +Mahatma Coat I never really watched the show, but I can guess that I've spent at least 50 hours watching his videos on youtube. I think I know him more as the car guy named Jay Leno, than the celebrity, which is a little weird I suppose oO or maybe not, I don't know, and never really think about it, lol. ^^

      Yep as a tv show host he was good and everything, but as a car collector he is king. And the fact that he shares his collection with us the viewers, drives his cars like they are meant to be driven, and isnt scared to tastefully modify a lot of these rare and beautiful specimens where other wankers would keep the "correct" and bubble wrap them.

    • @TheGeodoctorcl

      I could not agree more! I've spent countless hours with Jay watching his videos. You could lose track of reality and consider him a friend without ever shaking his hand. It would be a priceless memory to sit and chat with Jay before I pass away, I could also run a marathon..LOL! Enjoy the priceless collection of his passion which we share, without ever going for a ride in any of the cars except through Jays cameras. TY for sharing Jay!!!

    As a boy, I looked at photographs and dreamed about cars like this hoping, maybe one day I'd actually get to see one. But, never did I think I'd get to see one run - and hard. Usually, with historic machines like this, worth so much, owners might start it or move around just above idle to show it off - making me feel terrible. What a pleasure it was to see this thing run as intended. Thank you, Mr. Leno.

  • @ABCDEFGHIJKELA...
    @ABCDEFGHIJKELA... 9 лет назад +20

    I hope more people adopt jays philosophy of actually driving these cars, and sharing the experience. it's just amazing how much more you can learn by the noise, and the steps taken to even get it started. naturally if it's a one of a kind, well...it should still be driven, just maybe very very rarely hehe. I love seeing the polished areas people would normally ignore or pan away from, seeing the stitching, and the way people solved problems we don't even see as an issue today, like leather straps to hold the hood down, wire (omg!) that actually connects the body to the chassis..wow. just wish we had smell o vision ;)

    I grew up in Anderson, IN, a few blocks from a shop that was restoring Bugattis in the 1950s. I passed by the shop every schoolday on my way to school. Back then, Americans had never heard of Bugatti. When I tried to explain to my friends the significance of that shop, they just looked blank at me. I will always regret that I never stopped and talked to the people inside.

    @rheniformer 8 лет назад +16

    Yes, yes! My feelings exactly, it is wrong for the magnificence of iconic vehicles to be wasted in a museum and not to be experienced. It's not that it is wrong to preserve the machine but the point and appreciation of their qualities ability to inspire emotion is lost if they are not permitted to strut their stuff. Art is to be looked at, machines are to be experienced. That is why I can spend so much time watching Leno's Garage, he lets these old icons stretch their legs. It is the closest most of us will ever get to relating those cars to cars as we know them today...... as I drive to work in my Honda Civic financed over 84 easy monthly payments.

    • @KlunkerRider
      @KlunkerRider 8 лет назад +1

      +Alex Green IIRC People in general were shorter and smaller back in the 20s and 30s I would have stood well above most men of that era, but even today car racers use shoes that are more like thin cycling shoes with extremely thin hard soles, this type of racing shoe was common even back in the 20s and 30s, that might explain why the clearances are so tight in the older cars, at least in racing type cars.
      I have to admit, if I had the money I still wouldnt hesitate to order the Pur Sang version of it :-D

    I don't think that I've ever seen Jay Leno as reverential about a car as he was about this one. His closing statement that he hoped a future owner would remember him as a guy "who took good care of it [the car]…" was touching and heartfelt.

    Watching this episode as well as many others for probably the hundredth time (just finished the 55 Mercedes-Benz 300SL gullwing ep. as well.. anyone who is watching this video and has not seen that episode should definitely watch it, oh and the Jag XK120M episode ). Actually all of these shows are great but what I feel is really great is when the car featured is one from Jay's own collection. His enthusiasm for these amazing cars is inspiring, interesting and a lot of fun to watch. It is simply incredible that on one channel we can see anything from this 1928 Bugatti Type 37a to an amazing Lotus Elan 26R to a sweet little Datsun 510 restored by Jay's prop guy (really an amazing Datsun 510, would love to daily drive a 510 like that). It really seems that even though Jay spent his career as a comedian and host of The Tonight Show, his real legacy will be the awesome care and admiration he has for these timeless and beautiful automobiles. So while it may be somewhat belated I would like to say Thank You to Jay the car guy for sharing his real appreciation for these very important pieces of automotive history. Good to know we have this video library as an online museum of sorts. One of my all time favorite channels.

    Cars of 20s - 30s is my new hobby and I'm still not quite pro in this entertainment.
    Judging from on design, Alfa 8C 2300 (1933) looks better. To brand Bugatti, I respect.
    And most of all I rated type 57G Tank (1937).
