Industry, mobility and the resulting freedom, self-sufficiency and individual initiative, plus character and a little bit of style. Ken Burns could hardly have done better with a half-hour history lesson. Congratulations, and thanks to Jay for recognizing a special car and talent.

    This episode just re-inforced my opinion of Jay Leno. I think Jay is truly an average Joe that just happens to have a lot more money to do things than I do. That doesn't take away anything from Jay. I love Jay Leno and the fact that he has a passion that we all share. He wants to share with us the things he has been blessed with. You can't ask anybody to do more than he does for us. He is a good guy and we need more good guys in the world.

Well, one day he got a Ford V8 and said "now I can catch you guys". Well they baited him into chasing them and he wouldn't give up and blew the engine in his car.

    The joy Jay & Clayton show in each other's company and this old car is what being a true car guy is what life is all about. Clayton's involving his boys in the car reminds me of my dad and me doing the yearly tear down on his pumped up '53 V8 flatty coupe. 1953 Ford Customline. Dechromed. Grey. (You could call it battleship grey. He worked for a pipeline company and used leftover paint from a project.) 1BA flathead block with Offie heads, Edelbrock twin carb intake manifold with 2 Strombergs, and Fenton cast iron headers with cut-outs fed into a 4 speed manual. The steering wheel had Lincoln markings on it. (It was a big wheel, a knuckle banger, no power steering.) He was always looking for ways to take a few more ounces off that car. Fast? Oh hell yes! For it's time.

    That is wonderful and inspirational. My Father is 81 years old and fulfilling a lifelong dream. He is currently building a hot rod from a 1926 model T (T bucket). This thing sat upside down in a field for over 50 years, but as a testament to the quality of the vanadium steel, the body is still straight and solid. As the car had no drive train in it, he is putting in the LT1 engine and complete drive train from a 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood, and the front end from a 48 Ford. He custom built a new frame for it, and is putting in the back seat from an '88 Lebarron. It fits perfectly as the front seat for this model T, like it was made for it.
    I am so proud of my father for realizing a life long dream at his age, and am constantly surprised to see the cars progress every time I visit.

    In 1962 our father bought a 1926 Ford touring car, and my two brothers and I were introduced to the Model T Ford. Dad passed away last year, but three years ago he surprised us all by buying another '26 tourer. Riding with him into a busy intersection could be terrifying. He'd say, "O, they'll stop." Thank God they always did!

    Clayton knows Model T and A cars inside and out, all the improvements/enhancements, the backstories of all the inventors that figured out how to get more HP out of that engine block. Plus, the guy fits his build within a budget, but knows how much money it would take to do any and all variations. This was 6 years ago. I hope Jay and Clayton keep in touch and maybe Clayton can bring another cool build on. I applaud Clayton for involving his kids. Imagine being his son at 15 years old getting to drive this car.
