Yeah man. I said the same thing on one of his other videos. Its cool hes spending his money on a hobby he enjoys but actually leaves history for posterity to enjoy!
both of these guys, wow!! never realized how interesting these old cars really are, amazing quality and simplicity, seem to last forever in the right hands.
I'm always impressed that Leno did not just buy lots of cars, had them fixed by someone and put it in a room. He actually knows his stuff about them. Even with that many, and even considering he might do some research before a video, it's impressive.
Excellent for all the right reasons! I drive a 1950 car on a reasonably regular basis; there's nothing like an old-timer to teach a person how to 'drive' Thank you, Jay..
Love the coal truck. Happy to see history from my home state being preserved. I'm sure most of the guys that still deliver coal at home are glad they don't have to shovel or throw bags of coal around anymore. Today the truck beds have a scissor lift/dump system on them.
Thank God someone with a lot of money saves and restores these old historical treasures. I think Jay has made a place for himself in automobile history.
Awesome that Jay is willing to film and share these cars online, it preserves the cars history. I would be scared to drive them in LA with the crazy drivers there
There’s something so beautifully simple about this truck. Can’t imagine how many loads the old girl has carried over a century. Even if it was just a coal truck, it’s a beautiful work truck.
I remember visiting an uncle in Phoenix when I was 15, he restored cars like that. He had a 1915 Packard. It was off white and black. Beautiful car. Didn't get to cruise it because of a hole in the radiator. We did get to cruise his 1913 Marquette though. I also got to learn to drive a stick in his 1937 Ford. Fun stuff.
The rear suspension on the coal truck looks quick fancy, the rear ends of the longitudinal leafs connected to each end of another transverse leaf pack? Whoa, that's clever thinking by the engineer, probably has great articulation and the ride quality looked to be very good considering it's rolling on solid rubber. Very nice.
In about 1968, I drove an Autocar hauling steel. Mine had a 250 Cummins with two four speed transmissions, which gives you 13 forward gears and four reverse. Even with two gearshifts I never ground gears the way Dennis did with only 3 to shift. I'd almost say that that Autocar was my favourite truck of all time.
Those little spark checking levers could be used to clear a fouled plug often also , by opening the gap the voltage from the coil will not bleed off though the shorted or fouled plug and build up enough voltage to fire, sometimes the plug will clear itself and your good to go. old boat 2 stroke trick .
When Jay said "let's start it up", and reached up by the wheel, I stupidly expected to hear the starter cranking. I love that Jay isn't afraid to take his rides out on the street now and then.
They have to be driven, otherwise all the seals, grease, gaskets, oil, etc will go bad and rot away. That's why if you go to a car museum, look for the drip pans or carpet pieces under the cars, that is a museum that doesn't exercise its car collection.
Missed the opportunity to have Jay polishing the truck and playing it off as his love for such a great classic car. He was just standing at the back of it in the intro!
Dropping oil on the ground... This must be where most modern automatic transmission manufacturers got the idea. Long gone is the convenient dipstick, now you've gotta warm up the transmission to a specific temperature, remove a bolt and if transmission fluid drizzled out you're good. If it's low then you have to find a fill bolt usually located somewhere impossible and pump fluid in...
That's true for quite a few automatic transmissions. The difference now is, when you do that, you have a bucket or some other thing underneath to catch the fluid.
I love Autocar trucks. I've never had the pleasure to operate one. But they are a gorgeous vehicle. And Rival Mack for toughness. And haul many loads of coal out of Appalachia.
Jay, the Boxer engine, (we'll use a 2 cylinder here) both pistons go in and out at the same time. On the bottom of the stroke, the pistons are quite close to each other. Both pistons reach TDC, or BDC at the same time. Something like a VW Beetle engine, both opposed pistons are "about" the same distance apart, regardless of where they are in their cylinders. (When one is at TDC, the other is at BDC.) steve
Two Cylinder head castings were to avoid warpage when it gets hot . better head gasket sealing the 855 Cummins .. Minneapolis Moline and Case Engines were built this way in modern times.. 1103 Cubic Inch Murphy Diesel has a one piece 6 cylinder head because it has double over head cam shaft and 4 valve heads . The 4 valve per cylinder part is not a factor for warpage though just a cool feature..
My pop and uncle owned a '32 Packard . The depression bankrupted the original owner and dad got it fairly cheap as a young man working as a steam pipe insulator in New Orleans for about $9.00 a week. Later dad and unc were in a furniture moving truck business they got word from an old aunt who wanted to give them a few of those old chain drive trucks that had belonged to her then deceased husband who was in the drayage business back in the ~ early 1920's. The had to turn the truck offer down because the old trucks were way obsolete. They hated to reject the old aunt's offer but it would have been burdensome in those days for two young guys hustling to make a living.
Its funny I remember my father buying one of those Packards brand new when I graduated from high school and he did own a few of those "coal trucks" for the lumber business him and his brother owned
2:15 actually, in a boxer, the opposite pistons move towards each other at the same time and away from each other at the same time. more like what Americans would call a "fist bump". the way that Jay depicts could just as well be any in line engine on it's side.
As a kid coal delivered with a model b Ford crank to lift bed no doors on it coal delivered with a sack over his back.we were only house on block blizzard 47.
Years ago bout 30 I drove an outocar 18 speed in the oil field. Most powerful heavy-duty built truck with two peace windshield. One hell of a puller. Wish I still drove it.
Thanks to Jay Leno for preserving history not only for me but for future generations.
Man, I was just thinking that.
sail1999 ..Yes,Jay Is the best.I missed his ,,Tonight Show,,.I was always happy with his show . HI Jay ,Cheers !.
Jay's one of the few people who makes good use with their millions. He preserves some of the most fascinating history.
Yeah man. I said the same thing on one of his other videos. Its cool hes spending his money on a hobby he enjoys but actually leaves history for posterity to enjoy!
I really hope Jay turns his garage into a museum someday. I mean he practically owns a historical record of the automobile
I think it is a museum now.
I hope he leaves it to his staff
Obviously this will be his legacy
Love how Jay knows the history of every car he collects
Love how he drives them all
Jay is the only man who could take care of TopGear in my opinion:)
Maly Pivo Top Gear is a joke. It was a joke with the original hosts and still is now. It was great when I was a child, but now it’s just stupid.
I think Jay Leno and Harry (of harry's garage) would offer something new to topgear, and bring back viewers.
@@Championsocks1 yeah and keep chris harris so at least one can drive :) sorry for the pun :)
No because I don't think Jay would needlessly destroy cars like the Top Gear team regularly did.
That mustache has a guy on it's back
That guy has a mustache on his back
He probably bought it at a police auction. That's where I got mine.
Mhm lol
That back has a mustache on his guy.
both of these guys, wow!! never realized how interesting these old cars really are, amazing quality and simplicity, seem to last forever in the right hands.
My dad was born in 1920, he told me that when he was a kid, some cars still had solid rubber tires mounted on rims.
Hey Jay, where's your licence plate?.
I love that opening. These two always have fun together.
I'm always impressed that Leno did not just buy lots of cars, had them fixed by someone and put it in a room. He actually knows his stuff about them. Even with that many, and even considering he might do some research before a video, it's impressive.
Jay is awesome... He knows so much about the each car in his garage .. Everytime I switch to this channel there's always so much new to learn...
Excellent for all the right reasons! I drive a 1950 car on a reasonably regular basis; there's nothing like an old-timer to teach a person how to 'drive' Thank you, Jay..
Got to give the detailing guys lots of credit here.

He's amazing!
Jay was a great late night host but this is way better. Dude's love for cars is palpable.
Thanks Dennis and Jay....so facinating to see 1916 era....so so cool.....
Jay is doing the world such a good service keeping these beautiful cats alive for us to see, and in working order too! Well done jay
Cats?
Thank you Jay for the video. Massively over built honest and straightforward I love it.
That Packard is a very nice car. Impressed all of these vehicles are able to be driven on the roads
Jay always is trying to avoid Dennis
Congrats to your caps getting a cup, now i need my canucks to win one
It's their skit...if Jay & Dennis didn't like each other they wouldn't be doing it...
@@garyschultz3483 obviously
i love the episodes with dennis and jay together
Very rare and antique collection by sir jay Leno
There’s something so beautifully simple about this truck. Can’t imagine how many loads the old girl has carried over a century. Even if it was just a coal truck, it’s a beautiful work truck.
I thought it was a truck that ran on coal
Same.
Then they'd call it a steam lorry.
ME TO at first but it did deliver coal to the people that had coal fired trucks meant for real men. Hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe.
The Desk Well you could have a steam lorry with a boiler fired by oil, diesel, wood OR coal. Technically.
I love it lol
“You know who makes these wood wheels well, the Amish, it is a little hard to reach them on the phone though.”

When I was a kid here in West Virginia Autocar and Brockway were everywhere hauling coal from every hallow.
I get to work on a crane built in the 1890s, cool stuff...
guess who im going to rob next... LOL
This Old Chevy who?

Dennis and Jay, they Always have fun whenever they're together.
As a man who loves simple things, I love that this car has virtually no electrics in it.
Fascinating, Jay. Close your eyes, and it's the 1900s
I love that Jay keeps these going!!!
The coal truck is like a gas version of a steam tracktor
This is an awesome concept, a car show about cars not some scripted " reallaty show".
Those little spark checking levers could be used to clear a fouled plug often also , by opening the gap the voltage from the coil will not bleed off though the shorted or fouled plug and build up enough voltage to fire, sometimes the plug will clear itself and your good to go. old boat 2 stroke trick .
Big difference , compared to looking at cars in a museum. Jay takes you to school on every car he owns
That coal truck reminds me of a locomotive with car tires 🤣🤣
That was hilarious. I can tell you guys have a good time with one another. LOL. Nice cars and trucks too. Be safe!
When Jay said "let's start it up", and reached up by the wheel, I stupidly expected to hear the starter cranking.

I can only image being one of his neighbor... You'd never what's going to drive out next.
Getting some serious chitty chitty bang bang vibes from the front end of that Packard
Jay Leno appears to be as permanent a fixture on _My Classic Car_ as Dennis’ Handlebar Mustache
that's a mustache? i thought it was a squirrel
Now that we arrived, grab a shovel and shovel coal !!.
You could write to the Amish about those spoked wheels.
Jay's neighbors are always entertained by his cars.
I have a 1948 2 door original Tiltle with 26,000 miles and it is awesome!!!
Probably because it's been past 1'000'000 several times. Really it's probably like 3'026'000.
SmartassX1 no car can survive a million miles
Unusual tread pattern on those tyres. Everyone would look at tyre tread patterns before there was so many of them.
its mad that one man can have so many amazing cars :)
Missed the opportunity to have Jay polishing the truck and playing it off as his love for such a great classic car. He was just standing at the back of it in the intro!
Now that's what I call Rolling Coal.
I have a 54 packard patrician. nice smooth I-8. needs restoration, but the radio still works!!
Pulls nicely. - Jay Leno

Dennis' trademark hat and mustache look period correct in that Packard.

luv the flat bus drivery steering wheel in the thumbnail
Jay knows his cars !
I grew up in the NE... COLD Winters... delivering coal from an open cab, when snowing... I bet that driver HATED his job !
Its funny I remember my father buying one of those Packards brand new when I graduated from high school and he did own a few of those "coal trucks" for the lumber business him and his brother owned
AutoCar ,King of American Truck's and most Beautiful too.
the ultimate wampa-dampa truck
Jay Leno loves cars
These guys are amazingly entertaining. With all the passion Jay has for cars, how the hell did he find time to do what he's known for?
2 1/2 tons huh? The first Deuce and a half.
Lmao
2:15 actually, in a boxer, the opposite pistons move towards each other at the same time and away from each other at the same time. more like what Americans would call a "fist bump". the way that Jay depicts could just as well be any in line engine on it's side.
1:44 I thought that by 1916 electric starting and lighting would be standard. Ford added both in 1914.
He says the design comes from 1907 or so and wasn’t changed until 20’s
I seem to remember Laurel and Hardy selling fish from one of these..... :>)
Jay Leno for president 2020
Awesome cars.
He love his cars
love it!! more!!!
Love these videos
I'd love to see what Jay would do with a Lanz Bulldog. Wonder if he owns one?
Love Jay ❤️
Love those steam cars 😍
Keep in mind they were delivering coal most likely in winter. No cab, no windshield, and no heat. That's when men were men!
What a beautiful car
Wow J.. What a bad look you gave that man after that man showed his thumbs in muscles.
the love these too have for each other id never let a friend drive my Packard if i had one😂😂
Love it! Impressive!
This truck must have a lot of torque! only 18 horsepower... Crazy
What kind of brakes on that 1916 Autocar coal truck?
Best workshop video :D
Jay has the best toy shop in the world 🌎
1950model no 1sir verry beatiful verry nice you are great sir
I had solid rubber tires on some of my bikes as a kid and hated them. Im surprised those tires dont fly apart.
I love this show I never get a chance to watch at home...
Thank God for work
Love that car
During the zombie apocalypse Jay might be the only guy still driving around L.A.
Someone should make a replica Model 38 with CNG or batteries. Be great to drive that couch around town. Looks super comfy.
Такой грузовичек и сейчас в деревне был бы хорошим помощником, ну паккард, коечно шикарен!
As a kid coal delivered with a model b Ford crank to lift bed no doors on it coal delivered with a sack over his back.we were only house on block blizzard 47.

So did my dick
