- We’re back at Jay Leno’s shop to check out a couple of early 20th Century American luxury cars, produced in the Hoosier State - not Detroit. The 812 Cord was revolutionary when it debuted in 1936 and roused some serious excitement in the automotive world. This “Baby Duesenberg” had numerous futuristic features for the time and looked like no other American cars. It never really caught on, though, so less than 200 were ever produced. With its powerful Lycoming Flathead V8 engine and European styling, this art deco beauty is rarer than a Southern California rainstorm. We’re dodging raindrops as we take the Cord 812 for cruise through the streets of Los Angeles!
Then Jay introduces us to another rare Indiana-built automobile. The 1914 Premier is one that many have never even heard of, including Dennis! This classic motor carriage was huge and robust like a truck. With a big chassis, large T-Head engine, and beefy transmission, Jay’s Premier had the room and power for the entire family to ride in style.
We always have a great time hanging out with Jay Leno, and this trip was another educational experience. If you thought Detroit produced some of America’s nicest cars, just wait until you see this episode of My Classic Car.

Two of my favorite Car guys! Thanks Dennis and Jay! That is a beautiful automobile! Well done!
I had a model of this car when I was about 8 years old (that's 60 years ago) and to me it will always be one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
The Cord 810/812 is something so innovative that i can call it the Citroën Ds of the USA because going to the 50s american high end cars became boats on land and all needed was pure comfort by sacrificing all things else.
We have a thing we call a 3d printer LOL. Love mcc and jay together
Jay: I drive it in traffic but you got to be a bit careful, it's got the anti-stop brakes!
Yhat shift selector was a freaking slick idea. Might not have been surper durable but innovative as it gets
Cord one of the best!
Gorgeous automobile! Love the design and that maroon burgundy color! This is the car that inspired David North to design the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado.
The Styling is Art Deco but it's this mixture of train, steamship, and carriage, influencing the automobile. Roy Brizzio put a small block Chevy in one- still maintaining the front wheel drive. With a car like that I'm a purist.
@13:33: Put Dennis in a suit and tie with a golf hat, and you've taken us back in time. I'm disappointed in you guys for not accommodating me.
Although this car is stock the black walls make it look hotrodded.
Dennis, you are much more relaxed and low-key in your episodes with Jay. In others it feels like you are being rushed to get everything in - just seems that way to me.
Because jay is that guy 😂 😎
