ABOUT JAY LENO'S GARAGE ON CNBC
Hosted by legendary comedian and “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, the series explores our obsession with all things automotive. From classic cars to supercars and everything in-between, Jay is hitting the road to discover the most exciting, weird and wonderful vehicles ever made and meet the passionate people behind their wheels. Each one-hour themed episode features a mix of stunts, challenges, reviews, and celebrity interviews that showcases the colorful history of the automobile. Whether he’s exploring the story of an iconic brand, road-testing the newest super car, or investigating the latest automotive innovations, there is no wheel Jay won’t get behind to tell the story of our love affair with the car.
About Jay Leno: Acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, much-in-demand corporate speaker, lovable TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist…it’s no wonder that Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

I grew up next to Marysville and read about this car. C.H. Wills invented the Oilite bushing when he worked for Chrysler. Jay there is another very rare car built in Port Huron you might like. The Havers was an automobile built in Port Huron, Michigan by the Havers Motor Car Company from 1911 until 1914. The company was established by brothers Fred and Ernest Havers in 1910, with the first cars being manufactured within the Port Huron Engine & Thresher Company's premises. In 1912 Havers bought the old E-M-F factory (also in Port Huron) and moved production there.[1] The factory suffered a disastrous fire on 7 July 1914, destroying almost everything apart from the offices.[2] While originally planning to resume production within a month, Havers were unable to sway their creditors who forced the company into bankruptcy.

Basically all cars are made for driving, so it’s really nice that there is guys like Jay Leno who really drive his cars every now and then. Few years ago I met older English guy in Calais who has been driving from England to Switzerland and Italy and he was driving back to English with he’s 1925 RollsRoyce. He said that he haven’t been any issues on that trip. I really like to see these prewar cars on the road much more than in museum.

There's a guy in my country (Romania) who's a pretty famous businessman in Europe, a former tennis player and one of the richest men in the country, if not the richest. He has an amazing collection of cars from all eras, including one of the largest collections of Rolls Royce Phantoms (multiple generations) in the world. The thing is he's a bit of a grump and he used to be pretty reclusive (still is, compared to other celebrities) and he would hardly ever speak about his collection, let alone allow people from the media into his garage. There were only a couple of features in magazines or shows when I was in my 20s. I used to be so frustrated and, while I respected his privacy (I used to be an automotive journalist), I was genuinely sad that he wasn't sharing his collection with the world. Luckily, he came around and opened a museum a few years ago. He can't fit all of his cars in there, because he has over 200 (EDIT: 350 cars, looked it up on his Wikipedia page), but he swaps some of them around every now and then. It's so cool what Jay does and I love when people like these put in the effort to let other people enjoy their wonderful cars.

Wills was also a designer and is credited with designing the script "Ford Blue Oval" emblem that the company uses to this day.[1]

Hello Jay, a great segment. My grandfather, a native Michigander, invested $10,000 in the Wills company back in the day. He felt that the Wills car was a much superior car to the Ford. Of course he lost this money when the Wills company went under. It was great to watch and learn so much about this rare car that was a part of my family history.

Jay; those locking floor panel screws are Dzus Fasteners designed and patented by an American of Hungarian origin, Volodymyr Dzhus in the early 30's. They were discovered to be just the thing for aircraft cowlings and inspection plates that had to be removed frequently for servicing internals as their 1/4 action kept the screw itself under spring tension so vibration couldn't loosen it. They shone during WWII. Basically; every pieces of motorized military equipment had some of these things installed somewhere. Interesting story behind th guy himself.

They still are used just about everywhere. Aircraft, race cars, trucks, boats even spacecraft. If you need to attach something to something securely but in a way that facilitates easy removal there is no substitute. Those particular ones are not Dzus tho, this is a 1922 vehicle, I nearly fell for the same trap until I remembered the age of the car. The ones used here look the same externally but have a different method of fastening. Such fasteners existed before the dzus, it's claim to fame and the reason it soon dominated the market is the spring tension system it uses to fasten whereas the ones you see here would have relied on the give in the rubber floor board seals.

I know Jay is a multi-millionaire, and some ppl just don't like ppl who are rich and successful, but what a great guy! How many famous millionaires out there will actually invite you into their very own homes (or garages) and take the time to show you their passions & hobbies?? Seriously there aren't many. Love the un-scripted vid and just listening to him talking about his passions! I HATE hot-rods so restorations are my favourite, and Jay Leno is a walking encyclopedia of the history of cars in the same way Tarantino is an encyclopedia of the history of films... this is better than any TV shows if you ask me! :-) 2 Thumbs UP

Well some people accumulate fortunes, some do not. Jay did nothing illegal I know of to get rich and he got some fortunate breaks no doubt, and he worked at it some too. Enjoy your success Jay. I can appreciate his hobby and knowledge that he freely shares with others. I have no issues with Jay nor his success.

I love Jay too but you ask how many famous millionaires are willing to share their collections. I don't know about famous ones but it's been my limited experience that rich collectors are happy to show off their stuff to new people. You just gotta ask .

When you have an opportunity, and the bucks this is the very highest level of a return on your dollar?? This cat loves them cars man, but he at least puts on a good show.
