1916 Crane-Simplex Model 5 Holbrook Skiff - Jay Leno's Garage

[@MrWolfSnack]

It's not "for your entertainment". He just happens to have a show about his hobby. It has to be done if you care about the car and making sure all the money spent on restoration is not just pissed away into the garbage can. You have to drive cars regularly and often to keep the engine, gearbox, seals, gasoline, and every other part on it lubricated, exercised, and making sure it does not rust solid and lock up. There's been many a story of some idiot that restores their car for a nest egg, leaves it sit for 20+ years in their garage, they go to sell it when "the price is right", and every single rubber part has rotted away and the engine is seized up and the entire block needs a total teardown and cleaning before it will even start. So that "fully restored" car is now worth nothing because its a non-runner that just looks pretty.

[@chesspiece81]

I just watched Shmee at Manny's garage and he was wearing gloves to just open up his Bugatti and Speedtail. Then said he wears booties and gloves to drive. His cars are no doubt beautiful but they're more pieces of art than anything you'd want to drive and appreciate as the hypercars they are.

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

Speaking to the "not driving at night" My grandfather had a house with a large yard at the edge of town in 1919. "We" lived (I was born in the house) a 14 hour drive North of Chicago. (5 hours at modern speeds with modern cars) One evening a guy knocked on the door and asked if he could pitch a tent in his yard for the night. The next night grandpa put up an electric light and within a few days the whole yard was full of tents. He then hired guys to build one room cabins for people to stay. Had over a dozen rented even before they had the roof's on. The next year he built a Hotel. .....All because it was a day's drive for the new craze of automobile vacationing. Those hey days lasted until the 60's. Ah ...the good old days.

These are the JLG videos I look forward to most. Everyone covers the "new" stuff, but no one covers the "old" stuff like Jay does.

[@fishhuntadventure]

And who cares about the new stuff? There’s no mind-centric engineering that’s gonna make you say, holy crap that’s brilliant but in general they do look the crap part. Half the reason the ‘new’ corvette looks good is because of how many new cars look like the teletubbies drew them. Old cars like this?! Just awesome cuz they work (ed) so well, and then you look at them and they’re awesome sitting still. The old stuff is cool because it is. The new stuff is blah cuz it’s like a ‘format’ song on the radio. Boring and same-o.

Those air vents are called dorades. They allow air and rain to be taken in, separated, and the air goes to the cabin while the water drains out the bottom, which is not shown in the video. The name comes from the name of the ship they were originally invented for. The ship was named after the dorade fish. So the fish became a ship which in turn spawned the vent style.

But blackscotydog is right, it's because it is all mechanical, you can just get on a lathe and make any parts that cannot be obtained, and if something is stuck, whack it with a mallet. The Honda Insight EV-1 for example is a computerized car, and it is only 20 years old and already you cannot get battery packs anymore from OEM. You have to get 3rd party battery packs and at a cost of $8,000. Also the capacitors and circuitry in the digital gauge cluster start to go bad and you need to find a computer repair shop just to rebuild that.

[@mrdanforth3744]

The first cars with brakes on the front, had a safety triangle on the back fender saying "four wheel brakes" to warn following cars. The reason they did not put them on sooner was as Jay said, the mechanism was more complicated than at the rear, cars were not very fast or powerful, and they did not want to skid the front tires on mud and dirt roads and make them impossible to steer. Better tires and better brakes made a difference and today we have anti lock brakes.

[@man_on_wheelz]

@@mrdanforth3744 Yeah, no, I understand the mechanical challenges Jay explained of equipping front brakes at the time, that reasoning made the most sense, but "stopping too fast" and now you're saying they even put safety triangles on the back of the car to warn people behind them lmao!!! Man do we live in a different time... Clearly they didn't use the term "tailgating" back then, and I'm sure brake lights hadn't been normalized yet (did the car in this video have brake lights?). It's just funny to think about, that's all. lmao "stopping too fast" nowadays cars don't stop fast enough!

[@SheepInACart]

Brake feel wasn't good, and with rods that didn't feature any proportioning system, let alone ABS, merely having brakes on all 4 wheel wasn't a good way to actually stop safely in a hurry, and too much brake force was near as much a problem was too little. That said, unlike a model T or other low output cars that accounted for most sales, I'd be very scared of brake fade in this >8L 110hp motor and very heavy luxury car, hence the "emergency brake" was really expected to be used in an emergency, not merely to hold the car when parked. But this fade is also one reason not to put front brakes on, as they will heat very differently to the back, but will always receive the same force, so a balance that locks the front first when cold, might lock the back first after a few hard stops, and that drastically changes the stability... yet very hilly regions still did demand the extra brake area, so it later became an option on many cars, including the Model T (sold as "mountain brakes" for a very large addition to the base price). @man_on_wheelz from factory no, but Jay uses a wireless system that clips or magnets on, and transfers it between lots of his old cars, which gives most of the benefit, but avoids permanent modification.

If Jay wasn't "world famous comedian Jay Leno" I like to think he would still be the curator of a world class auto museum and doing a weekly garage show exactly like this.

[@suttonssuperstars7679]

These videos are so relaxing. Like watching a master perform or demonstrate. Just so awesome and appreciated.

You can call me Ray but you doesn’t have to call me Johnson! I love Jay’s “real” attitude when he is sharing the things he enjoys. Thanks Jay!

inside the engine bay it looks like a small beer brewery :)

Jay, this car was fantastic for 1916. Full electric set up, with electric start, lights, etc. And telescopic dampers on the front. Way ahead of its time.

[@VintageCarHistory]

Gotta love those vintage cars! Thank you Jay for all you do!

[@michaelmerta8956]

I am totally floored about this automobile, what a great craft man put this beautiful luxury car together. Love to see them thank you Jay.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

What a super cool car with a great history. Thanks for another amazing Pandemic Edition video, Jay! While the in-person car shows may be canceled, it's wonderful to know I've always got the next episode of Jay Leno's Garage to look forward to! You're a fantastic host and caretaker.

Franklin D Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats = Jay Leno’s Garage Pandemic Edition

[@DopravniPoradce]

Thanks a lot, I had no idea FDR fireside chats existed and they seem very interesting.

[@davidmazza3898]

I’ve waited a looonnngggg time to see this car in good quality! Thank you very much!

[@ezpoppy55]

What a fun episode! Thanks, Jay!

[@BIX-18827DCM]

There is something organic, fresh and fascinating about the pandemic version other show. The "at home" feel that we are getting from Leno is nostalgic and unlike any other show. The cherry on top is that he now has time to tell his personal stories about the car or history which is captivating. I'm glued to my seat.

[@craigm2484]

This like every episode is Awesome. Thanks Jay..

[@revolvingrider2146]

I kinda enjoy"pandemic specials" more than the regular show. One passionate man, one camera and one car❤️ You always make me smile, thanks Jay.🙏

[@billsherer9815]
