Thank you for remaking this video. I know you've said these old cars don't get the views of the new ones, but these are an archive for people of the world who are unlikely to ever see/hear them. Thank you for sharing your world!
ChubbyMcHungry I like the way they look but my bank account says it will be a long time before I can buy a real one @ 60+k$$ so I guess I’d have to settle for a knockoff one instead especially the touring Phaeton models or a roadsters
Love the 80's auction footage. Adds to the great story.
Iggy Blissful couldn't agree more and you can see Mavis as well!
no denim
Iggy Blissful that guy was talking without moving his lips hahahaha
Jay Leno became blonde hair since then...
She probably enjoys doing car events with Jay more than watching his stand-up. Nothing against his act, but cars just make him so happy.
This is the type of video I like best when Jay does them.
A simple tale of man enjoying his machine, complete with history.
He often has said that's it's the stories that each car comes with that he likes.
Any real car guy gets that. I surely do.
I just don't understand how anyone dislikes this video, honestly.
moparedtn Well 19 out of 2000 votes isnt bad. Can't please all of the people all of the time.
I could not agree more. This is my favorite video from Jay so far. I love the older cars.
This man is really leaving a legacy for us all. Love Jay for this.
@@Anth230 "19 out of 2000 votes isnt bad" is 1% typical missclick ratio when people trying to click like and pressing wrong button. It is lower only when movies are made for guys with scientific minds, in case of something like popular music it is 1.5% or even more.
@@Bialy_1 true...
If you ever have a crappy day - watch Jay. Heals all anxieties.
There was never any doubt how passionate Jay is about automobiles. At the end, you can see it nearly brought a tear to the eyes. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing machines with fellow enthusiasts. You are a good man Jay Leno.
Everyone should have a life like Jay's! What a guy. What a car!
Just 15% would be enough.
Give me a few hundred million dollars and I will.
It is a privilege somehow that Jay Leno shares his cars with us... This video is simply outstanding.
You went 70mph with a 102yr old vehicle with chain brakes?? That is awesome you have that must trust in your vehicle. One of the reasons why I like the show a lot.
That vintage footage of Jay was amazing. It's weird seeing him wear something other than a denim shirt.
+IndyHelis Yet the 80s was when denim jackets and denim clothes were most in fashion, lol...
Maxey He wore a different suit every night on the tonight show for like 20 years. Why would seeing vintage footage of him from the 80's without a blue denim shirt seem weird?....lol
das 1988 I bet you're a lot of fun at parties. It was a joke.
Maxey The written word is different. You have to use one of these...😄....now go back and change it...😂
These are my favorite videos of Jay's. The older cars are way more interesting to me in this format. Not that I don't like driving newer cars, but the older ones and there systems/engines etc. are just so interesting. Thanks Jay.
most people probably enjoy the videos of the newer cars more, but i absolutely love the old machines jay shows, each one is a wonder unto itself, another amazing car, jay. really great work thank you so much for all the incredible history
Totally agree! If he did nothing but old cars, I'd still watch this channel. Those, and motorcycles. My favorite is the one on steam cars.
this youtube channel is a museum - these cars and their stories will never be forgotten
That car looks so cool today, in 1915 it must've been absolutely insane.
Well, it didn't exactly exist in this spec in 1915.
The startup procedure is so extremely satisfying
@ .... or if you stall the engine in the middle of the city XD.
Why can't i see this video but the other one's i can see ???
I absolutely love the whole ritual before actually driving the car, its like the pre-flight procedures, a true experience ^_^
wonder how many of those randoms on the freeway said ''hey Look, there's that Jay Leno guy''
Sadly, most are probably looking at their phone to even notice what is going on around them.
Peter House My friend in California has seen him driving one of his steam cars, and saw him at Cars and coffee.
james w yep
I live in socal in the San Fernando Valley, and have seen Jay several times. Best time was his steamer.
Peter House o seen him driving an open wheel f1 looking car on the I5 fwy once another time in a vintage blue bugatti
Jay as a younger guy(25) and I'm a real working stiff and I've got toys but nothing close to these I must say thank you for making quality videos on not only the history of the cars like this you have but also showing videos of them in motion and how they sound. You can look at a car in a museum all day long but to see it move and come to life is bliss. I'm not much for the pebble beach kinda crowd but the cars are top notch. Someday I'll get my hands on another straight 8 Buick(preferably a stick shift 320) and build a speedster around it so I can get as close as possibly to feeling like you did driving your Pursang Supercharged Alfa speedster.
Driving to work... "Oh, there's Jay Leno in a 103 year old car going 100 MPH"
Thank you Jay for sharing this automotive experience, you are truly appreciated.
What you need is a leather head cover that the pilots wore and some goggles there Jay , awesome vehicle and beautiful restoration.
yes that would be cool to see
Wardrobe, on the set!
That dash is just a nice thing to look at.
God bless Jay. In the middle of describing this bizarre collection of instruments on the dash, "Here's something unusual!"
Hahahahah
I love a car that requires a checklist for starting.
Very chuffed to hear there is an Aussie connection with this magnificent car 😁 Also glad you bought it Jay as I can't think of a better custodian! Thanks so much once again for sharing your car collection with the world Jay as it's as close as 99% of us will get to cars like this 👍
18.5 liter = 1,129 cubic inches or a bit more than the displacement of two and one half 427 Chevies/Fords. My goodness does that sound sweet. Another incredible machine and as always thanks for sharing these videos with us gearheads.
Amazing that Jay Leno is the ONLY one that tells you about how the car works!!! Answers the questions that you would want to know about the car, how the engine works, and the transmission, and the brakes.
Most of the ones about cars are goofy - that tell you about the price and how they haggle back and forth. Who cares? And then when you look thru the comments a lot of people comment on the price - what does that do for them?
I greatly appreciate it I could just hang out with Jay and talk about cars all day!
I like the horn sound
Thanks Jay. From the grown man who's teenage room was filled with Car & Driver, Road & Track, and sometimes Motor Trend. Thanks, that was fun.
Jay driving his cars makes for the best videos. A calm, knowledgeable car guy, sharing his love for the automobile. Perfect.
Driving this car is a complex procedure, full focus required. Masterpiece!!
I was in Monterey in I think 1990 when he bought that at auction. I was inside the convention center where the cars that had just sold at auction were driven in and parked. I heard that loud, unmuffled engine chugging and in it came with Jay at the wheel. As the previous owner was showing him all the features like the cable-operated brakes Jay said, "I must have been out of my fucking mind".
Steve Sestrich
What did he spend on it?
1915? It looks so 1930's. So advanced looking. Amazing.
I have a feeling you don't know what either years look like. In 1915, most Automobile models, except the select few and the model T, had streamlined design, since 1912 the introduction into body following hard top became a big thing amongst the rich. The front hood sweeped up to the window, which followed back and curved elegantly at the back, the top was often very adorned in style, usually in a no straight line shaping which made for an incredibly elegant new look.
The model T is the vehicle everyone names, but it was hardly impressive by any means. Just a dinky car that got famous for two things, notably paying homage to the war by sticking with black paint....and making everyone think that all cars were black in the 1900s to 1920s which is the biggest lie ever conceived.
WOW 1915 and that just fires right up, no smoke, no problems
When one smiles all the way through a twenty minute video you know you're watching the best content out there in cyberspace. Thank you Jay for sharing your childlike joy in appreciation of all things automotive.
Just an amazing machine and an amazing video. start my week with Jay Leno's garage and a smile.
Jay Leno the worlds coolest and badass grandpa
The beauty is overwhelming
Jay is just soooo knowledgeable and knows all the detail about his vast collection, to the smallest detail!!
Amazing car, I love the mechanical ritual of just starting an airplane engine or even an early automobile. Great video and car!
I wish I was able to watch this episode. I can watch all the other ones but this one is unplayable for some reason.
This video is the only one that will not play.
its not working because jay only wants it viewable on that dumb "my classic car tv" channel. He's trying to help that crappy channel i guess.
That other channel, not my cup of tea.
@@davidplants exactly. the host is annoying and the show is poorly done.
When Jay started the car it reminded me of the sound of the old prop driven airplanes at start up. The rough, loping idle sounds great.The shaking steering wheel and, in fact, the whole shaking car, added to the effect and spoke of great pistons turning over slowly. One of the best of Jay's videos.
Well done Jay, you set an excellent example of how to do things thoroughly, correctly, and with a love for what you do.
EASILY THE BEST "JAY LENO'S GARAGE" LINE EVER SPOKEN: "Out on the L.A. freeway, if I could put a propeller and a machine gun on the hood of this, I would have the time of my life!" Haa Haaa Ha!
I mean I have laughed a million times at Jay's jokes over the years but I have never laughed harder than I have at that one! And that one he told with a totally straight face! There might have been a trace of a surupticious grim... I love you Jay!
That's why the belt has multiple holes, for strapping the Spandau mg on it
You said it for me. Lolled loud irl 😊. Except I'd say that sentence was one of the best I have heard in a while 😃 hahahaa!
Hispano Suiza made the most air planes´s engines for the allyes in the Worl War I so the engine (and the sound) of this car is the same as a airplane of that time ;)
Jay Leno is my hero!
Thank you Jay, I know many commenters say the same thing, but being able to enjoy these amazing cars along with you, is very cool!
21 minutes of deep joy and happiness. Thank you Sir Jay Leno.
All those vehicles with unconventional controls, pedal arrangements, quirks.
I wonder how Jay keeps track of them all.
I know right? And it's even worse with classic motorcycles.. left hand throttles on old Indians, suicide clutch with toe-to-go or heel-to-go and hand shifters, right shift or left shift transmissions on later bikes, first up or first down etc.. I guess he thinks for a second before he makes a move...
jay west He probably just doesn't just jump on any of his vehicles without re-familiarizing himself with it. Remember everything is not just off the cuff when its filmed.
I wouldn't be surprised if he had a piece of paper taped to the dash that says "fucked up controls, drive carefully"
Its called Passion
Joseph Ryan I wasn't aware that gave you a better memory
This was great thanks Jay
There is almost as much sense of anticipation and drama starting up that car as Jimmy Stewart starting up the Phoenix in that famous movie. Love it!
Thanks Mr Leno... If it wasnt for you a lot of these old girls wouldnt exist anymore. I know that this is a custom. But I have seen some of your old steamers which got me interested in your channel. What is nice is you drive them and show them that you love them. They arent just show pieces. Thanks for keeping these old girls alive.
My father was in the Luftwaffe in WWII he said the Hispano Suiza and Gnome Rhone engines were so smooth and sounded more like sewing machines they were so well made.
Different engine generation. He probably was speaking about the V-12 line of Hispano Suizas that were the center of their aero products in the 1930s. Indeed a great engine, and very well built (Hispano Suiza had a reputation of high quality which also came from their line of high-end cars of the era). That engine served on several high performance french aircraft (the Dewoitine 520 being the most famous), and a licenced version was the basis of the most produced inline engines of the Soviet Union (powering the whole Yakovlev series of fighters, amongst others).
The Gnome-Rhöne was also a good engune, yet much less refined. It was a well built radial air cooled workhorse, not a high performance engine. Meanwhile, the Hispano V-12 was up top there with the Daimler-Benz DB600 series and the R&R Merlin in power outputs and general specs. A tremendous engine for it's era.
noice
That's a rather brave admission. Trump voter, are you? Have a big supply of tiki torches?
@@ramjb you make my eyes happy.
I wonder if Rhodesian Wojak gets stalked by FoCoPuffs, that's such an out-of-place reply, you would think it's a bot.
I love how he had no qualms about modifying an antique car in the name of making it more drivable
It was just a chassis, really. The engine, rear end, etc, where all cobbled together, and the body was built by that man who sold him the car, if I understood the video correctly. So it was more of a hot rod than an authentic antique automobile, even in the condition he received it in.
Yes- It's impossible to overstate that what Mr. Leno is doing isn't a MUSEUM, it's a GARAGE. These cars can be driven! Amazing collection.
As always, thank you for sharing your collection with us Jay. I've been watching you since I was a kid and now you're continuing an already legendary career by sharing your automotive side with all of us and I never miss an episode.
Amazing....driving a 1915 engine, in LA traffic, on the freeway....amazing. Such a wonderful old machine. Thanks for sharing it with us Jay.
Soo awesome jay. Must be pretty amazing to drive these pristine classics ✌️
MICHAEL NOLAN and all the more satisfying, knowing it's running on the blood, sweat and tears you put into making it pristine.
The tags are amazing " Horseless Carriage"
I share your passion and love of the automobile era Jay and you do an outstanding job of showing the world your collection! Kudos!
Hello Jay, I can understand why you say this is one of your favorite cars to drive. There are not too many people out there that have the understanding, I know I wouldn't have. It like you said you almost have to be a pilot.
This was a good video for me. I just started watching your youtube channel recently. I am very happy for you that this gig is working out for you. Your old show changed and its better that you left. It'll never be the same. Please keep making this show.
that was the fastest car in the world in 1915...awesome..and its still faster then most cars today.
Jay is awesome
Great piece of history. Glad you can keep these guys alive Jay.
this video is one of the reasons I love jays videos, look how much fun he is having........
just need the red scarf, a leather skullcap & those old aviation goggles then you might as well be flying around the 405, lol. Great video & awesome car. Definitely an old timey hot rod!
My great grandfather flew with Eddie Rickenbacker in french Spads during the great war.
Modelleg, can you recall any stories passed around the family about your great granddad and his time in the Spads with Eddie Rickenbacker? You must let us know - in detail if you can - as these stories get lost in time and that is a great shame.
Thumbs up to your great grandfather.
Facinating car and story Jay, especially given it came from down under! As an apprentice mechanic I met its previous owner John Ould who was passing through Alice Springs in the 1980s driving a 1930s Lagonda in a rally. John called into our garage for repairs, he was very friendly and generous with his time given I was then still a young lad still pretty wet behind the ears when it came to vehicles of this calibre. In hindsight the experience helped spark an interest into the amazing history of motoring, and an appreciation for the custodians who keep these vehicles on the road. Thanks for sharing your passion with us Jay.
Thanks for continuing to share your amazing collection of unique vehicles and their histories with the world! This is a really spectacular piece of automotive enthusiasm.
What happened? Why was this video taken down? It's these type of videos I really enjoy watching because cars were at the golden age of engineering where you could be innovative with whatever engine layout and body style you wanted unlike modern ones which are basically the same due to all these government and environmental regulations
I had the same problem for the last year, but it seems to be working again!
badass Jay!
2 number 1s in auto care jay Leno n Kermit weeks without you guys this knowledge and education is never passed on . nothing to do with money but it helps .all the very best
Viva Jay Leno,you are the best when it comes to talk about special cars!
So no matter what I try to play this video on - desktop, laptop, iPad - I get "This video is unavailable on this device" ???
Is it just me, or does this video not play and come up with an "error" every time you try to watch it too?
Yes
its not working because jay only wants it viewable on that dumb "my classic car tv" channel. He's trying to help that crappy channel i guess.
It does it for me as well. I’m starting to get impatient with this
Me too. 😥💯
@@samuelwallisjr.6526 Piss on you. Dennis Gage is the ish. 😡
Thanks for this clip. I really enjoyed watching these old machines literally bomb down the freeway. It should be a real spectacle watching (and listening) to this car go down the freeway! Made my week.
the fact that he can recall all of this information, even if he has filing cabinets full of it printed out, is impressive. gotta love this guy
"Video not available on this device". I'm on a desktop PC. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.
Still not viewable. And one of my favorite episodes of JLG
Wow 18,500cc with polyphonic Horn sound and a fridge compressor! it needs a Gatling gun installed on the dash !
Work of art, its great to see you driving these cars on the street and the condition they are in, amazing
What an incredible piece of machinery/art! So amazing! Thank you!
I cant watch this episode in any device, PS4, Windows 10, Android, dont know why!!
"This was used in the SPAD aircraft.. in France". Yes sir! René Fonck, the French Ace (second most victories of WW1 behind the Red Baron) and the American Eddie Rickenbacker flew the SPAD.
Spad VII, XIII and the SE5+SE5a+SE5b
150hp (Spad VII and SE5) and 200hp (Spad XIII and SE5a>onwards).
There were a few examples with the Viper motor as well.
Either way, not quite 300hp.
Aloha-airhead l
René Fonck, not Richtofen, was the ace of aces of WWI. Not to mention that he came out of it alive. The homologation system of the french was much harder than the german.
Problem with Fonck is tha he wasn't really a nice person. He was a loner, quite aloof. But he shot down enemy airplanes with less than half a dozen bullets. Also during WW2 he kinda chose the wrong camp, a least in the beginning , and that left some bad memories.
@@ToreDL87 Wartime Hispano 8 engines were good for 150-220hp depending the version. Those were the ones on board Spads and SE5s.
By end war (mid 1918, bullets still flying at the time) the Hispano 8F was rated for 300hp and several sub-versions of that model reached power outputs of 350hp. That engine was used in several prototypes for a new line of french fighters that might have made it to the front had the armistice not stopped the war, but instead were introduced in service in the early 1920s.
So if anything Leno understated the actual power the engine configuration could effectively put out.
I really enjoy the older, slightly off the wall, but useable cars of yours. This video I will be watching over and over! I love hearing the history behind the motors and WWI (in this case). Thank you for sharing these magnificent pieces of history. Wow.
A top 5 car in Jay's Garage. Beautiful.
Beauty😍
The belt have multiple holes in case the car lost some weight 😝😅🤣
XD
In case you put a bigger engine ...
It's like a chitty chitty bang bang car. It's wonderful, thanks for sharing Jay. Truly scrumptious... john
i love the sound it makes
Quote of the season: "- - - and you feel like you're about to dogfight on the 405 freeway, if you had a propeller in the front and a couple of machine guns - ah - we could just have the time of our lives in this thing - - - - ." An animator needs to put Jay in a leather hat, googles & white scarf with him zooming down the 405 in the Hispano Suiza mowing down the slow pokes in the passing lane.
I hope he brings back the old 2 cylinder coal truck too.
I love the sound of the gears winding up and down. The car is beautiful.
Thank you Jay for making this video. I love these old "mechanical" vehicles, and the sound of that engine is great.
I look forward to every upload, at the point the vehicles have become inconsequential
Mickey Knox amen to that.
love the car, thanks for sharing.
If theres any further history on these sorts of cars from before Jay owned it, would be good to hear. a car from 1915 winding up buried in sand in Australia? sounds like an interesting story.
LeroyPeterson I was also wondering what the story was there! I actually live in Western Australia where I believe it may have been built according to the plaque on the dash and can only really think maybe someone bought it and used it in the days of the Caversham Grand Prix track.
OK, that's officially my favorite brass era car ever. what a mean looking stance! Rivals the later Stutz DV32 in its purposefulness. And, it did not lose the old piston aircraft sound in the transition to a car. The detailing in the resto is awesome...the little bits of brass highlighting the alloy. Thx Jay for sharing.
Jay Leno is just too cool. One of a kind.
Close your eyes and you can almost hear a propeller while it's idling. All he needs to complete the image is a leather helmet, goggles and a long scarf blowing in the wind.
But will it do a burnout?
with 300hp and those tires? yeah
and all that torque helps too
Theoretically, yes. Not with those terrible front brakes though... Maybe up against a really solid brick wall? haha
Jay, your videos with early hot rods are such an enjoyment to watch. All the details about the oil reservoirs and contraptions to boot.
Jay, you and your team ALWAYS nail the first 30 seconds. I'm just hooked every time. Keep it up man!
