1930 Duesenberg LeBaron Barrelside - Jay Leno's Garage

[@collinscody57]

Do people actually complain the engine isn't clean enough? He took probably 4 hours out of his day to show us this car for no other reason than he wanted to so say thank you and watch

[@chuckschillingvideos]

You have to understand he spends a ton of time around other car collectors and concours judges, many of whom are, to be generous, incredibly anal about every last detail of a car. What most people would never notice stands out like a sore thumb to them, so Jay is probably accustomed to hearing about the faults of his collection from these folks.

Jay Leno has a great personality I think he's someone we can all relate to

[@brandonenn7052]

Is it just me, or is just listening to Jay and watching him fiddle with the keys and tell his stories very relaxing? Therapeutic even? This truly is his legacy. He presents a car so naturally. Explains the technical details and the history with such a calm ease and honesty that one can not help but be drawn into the time and space and period of each particular car. This show is Endlessly better than the staged NBC stuff where they have him running around in cars with guests, etc. Fast cuts and all the normal reality-tv style shooting. On this KZbin channel, this is all Jay. Jay talking cars his way and sharing the gift of the history and beauty and experience of these truly remarkable mechanical achievements and their history. Jay essentially has what is turning into the world's foremost automobile museum. Certainly the most varied. His passion shows through on every video. He is a gracious host and a gentleman to all of his guests, regardless of status. He has inspired countless new enthusiasts from all generations. He does not frown upon the old or the new. His love of the work and engineering is apparent at every turn. This is his crowning achievement and he will be remembered for this very special contribution. I can only hope that things are all set up to be made into a museum and cared for long after his and our time. Similar to Mellon or Carnegie or Rockefeller donating their collections to the museums for all to enjoy. One can not train someone to present something this well. He is a natural and he invites you into his shop in every video. Many of these videos make me think and remember those dear to me who are no longer here. Their passion for cars. The way they could take anything apart and repair it. Their appreciation for the cars, be they Jaguar, Mercedes or an old Camaro, was infectious. These memories are very special. We should all take time to slow down sometimes, and just enjoy the ride in our cars. And be grateful for the moments. Thanks, Jay.

[@rcpmac]

Altimeter. Duesenberg allowed the driver to adjust the fuel/air mixture to optimize performance for high altitude locations. There was a playing card sized chart that contained settings for the carb based on the altimeter reading. This was done perhaps to sell one to Al Capone who drove his “Dusey” in Denver.

[@Imtahotep]

What possessed me to do it I disavow now; to drive a 1964 Pontiac, 326 with a 2 speed transmission, carrying 4 people and luggage for 5 from WI up through Denver (where my ears were the altimiter) to Los Angeles: and oh yes for a manual spark advance going mountains, and a few more metal clothes pins on the fuel line the carb. Other than that, only the pumpkin fell off after I got back to WI.

[@Dennis-lx9mo]

"Duesenberg allowed the driver to adjust the fuel/air mixture to optimize performance". And so did the Model A Ford...

[@robertmcduck6712]

@@Dennis-lx9mo But did it have a chart and altimeter to do the settings optimally???

[@Dennis-lx9mo]

Chart and altimeter are not accurate enough. You would also need to factor in the weather (temperature, moisture, etc.) WE do it by the seat of our pants!! and how the engine is running... haha. (all in jest).

[@olensoifer9901]

Now, that makes sense, that the altimeter had a purpose that was more than just vanity. In fact, I remember when I and a couple of buddies drove from NU to Aspen CO to go skiing and as soon as we had passed Denver, and began ascending the east slope of the Rockies...probably when we hit about 8,000' elevation...we were forced to stop at a gas station to have the carburetor mixture leaned out because of the thinner atmosphere...and the reverse on the trip back. I presume with electronic ignitions and computer-controlled fuel injection this is done automatically these days. As for Mr. Leno, it is nice to see that he is not so vain as to restore cars so that they can just sit in a museum.

I bet more is paid for the storage space ect in that time than the actual rebuild. Its a collection akin to a museum, where letting the items be slightly less than spotless (but all together/functional) is a labor/cost saving measure when compared to trying to keep them up to pebble beach showcar levels constantly, rather than some kind of disregard for the expense of the restoration work to redo them.

Mr. Leno you are keeping many people sane during this pandemic. My father who is long gone never quit reminding me how great the Dusenburg‘s were. Being a kid of the 60s and 70s I wasn’t very interested in them, Corvettes, Ferraris, and the like fascinated me. However I never forgot, and would occasionally remember my father telling me ‘Duesenberg did that first’. With this video you have given me so much information and such a rush of memories of my father who was indeed a car guy. He was an architect and second a car enthusiast we had several project cars on the property that I grew up on and to my mothers chagrin dad would simply build another car shed if he found another project car so we had four buildings on the back acres that had many different cars of varying degrees of restoration over the years. I know that the pandemic is affecting everyone as you stated it is even affecting you, but let me simply say to you these videos you are doing are absolutely priceless and thank you so much for sharing your passion with the world.

@@axellundgren6151 You probably know first hand how those diamonds got in that bank in the first place. They could have been robbed as well. Not justifying those soldiers. But let's not forget what Germany was and did back then.

Jay Leno's Garage, Harry's Garage and HubNut are by far the best car channels there are imo. Real genuine car guys that seem real down to earth and friendly to others. While Jay and Harry do the more high end cars (very well), I find HubNut the best for your everyday forgotten old cars. Nothing like those spoiled kids and there ferrari's. I thank all three of you for making these great video's!

[@mikehotchkiss8975]

When you talked about the keys being all different I felt you were just talking to me. The current style of videos are more personal. Love your collection and thanks for taking such good care of them and sharing them with us

[@briankearn3965]

"This is not a show car," says Jay, "It was, it won Pebble Beach in 1992." That was a very classy flex!

[@afriendtoo6971]

" I think you should restore them 100 points then drive them down to 5 and restore them again. " Sure beats letting them sit in a garage and collect dust.

[@bradmarkell12167]

Yeah. His '30 was so amazing, it won the golf tournament

[@garyallen7868]

The Duesenberg has always been my favorite car ever made since I saw one as a kid in the 60's.

[@nadronnocojr]

Mr Leno may have a lot of cars but his passion and love for history is humbling , real car guy just has a lot of them .. a true custodian to history , thank you for all your time and passion sir

[@jordancook1668]

Hey Jay, I always wish you’d include the sound of the engine starting up and idling in the shop in these videos. Maybe throw in a couple quick revs too. The sound of these great engines is one of my favorite parts of these cars.

[@olliefoxx7165]

That's a great idea! Sometimes it's hard to translate the sound of the exhaust/engine through digital media bit its still worth a listen.

[@ward7588]

My father was an automotive mechanic for 51 years. I would love someday to be able to take him to Jays museum to take a tour of the cars and other finds he has. I know that he would just be over the moon to see something like this.

[@mikekeeler6362]

Doesn't he also have just about every year of the Corvette I don't know where he puts all these cars nice problem to have

[@bigbouncer75]

Duesenberg has been my favorite car since I was 11 years old. My step dad bought me a duesenberg model car and I was hooked. 34 years later and I still have never seen one in person.

[@Ashcrash82]

My very first hot wheels car was a 4 door Duesenberg given to me by a cousin when I was around 5 years old. I loved it before I even knew what a Duesenberg was. I do not have that first one any more (I played with my cars in the dirt a lot when I was young), but I have since replaced it with another one that is even the same color. That one diecast hot wheels car started my love of classic and vintage cars.

[@wrightsublette1701]

You must tour to the museum in Auburn, Indiana. I visited it last year and it’s well worth the trip.

[@Troy_nov1965]

I had a radio that looked like a Duesenberg when I was a kid . Used to listen to it every night going to sleep.

[@karaDee2363]

I've always loved and thought of the Duesenberg as the most beautiful , stylish and best car ever made since I was a child, and I'm 65 years old . I loved your demonstration of this car Jay.. it was so honest and did not hide anything. And I loved it defects and all, just wonderful and I can't thank you enough for that. Yep she's a doozy❤❤❤

[@HarpersInfiniteSystems]

The outro finally matches!

[@zyxwvut4740]

I always wondered what that car was! For some reason I thought Jay's Duesenberg was green, but it seems I was wrong.

[@darylreed7771]

I love how mechanical things were back then. That dashboard is unbelievable. And the hubs are so cool. Jay is so thorough and is really knowledgeable about all his cars. Awesome show!

[@mattm2837]

Amazing story I could listen to this stuff forever

[@askunz1]

Beautiful car, fantastic story (!), fascinating engineering marvel. Jay, what a fun fellow you are, to share all of this with all of us.

[@davidlegg9690]

Isn't it great when your passion is your work, great shows Jay.

[@edpoell2876]

Thanx very much Jay. I am in my sixties and had yet to see as thorough a presentation about a Duesenberg and what an absolute beauty she is too.

[@spaert]

Finally! I've been waiting a long time for a review of the car shown at the end of each episode and here it is. Didn't disappoint. The car is just as cool as it looks. Great episode.

[@wheel1775]

@jayleno Jay, I’ve always considered myself to be a car guy, but you are just on another planet. You’ve given me a newfound appreciation for the older cars. I didn’t know anything about Dusenberg until I watched your videos. Even watching the Packard videos leaves me in awe. Those cars are truly engineering marvels. It’s really incredible to see all of the technology in those cars. The fact that a Dusenberg had an oil change light is amazing for an 80 year old car. I especially love how you show the minor details of these cars. So much of those small details are just unthinkable in todays market.

[@tbillington]

Jay going through his own collection is the best thing to come out of covid.

[@deejayimm]

I remember when he first started doing this show, and for the first time in my life I liked Jay Leno. This should have been the show that was on television.

[@mrtyreus0]

These intimate Jay episodes are literally the only reason I wish the epidemic doesn't end. 🤣. Please don't stop what you're doing, Mr. Leno.

[@kennethdavidii2734]

These pandemic videos are epic. I love the stories that go along with the cars.

[@palmlimit9297]

World War II soldiers gold diamond motorcycle in a Duesenberg what a great movie!!!!

[@xceler8auto]

Vehicles are meant to be driven not carted around on trailers like a pretty trophies... I like Jay Leno cause most of his vehicles are drivers cars... Thanks for showing the world cool and unique motoring icons!!! P.S. Thanks to all the behind the scenes mechanics, Technicians, volunteers, detailers etc... A fleet like this isnt easy or cheap to maintain.... 😁🏁

[@williamfeldner9356]

Jay, I miss your show at night so much… You were a pro, you brought us together with your humor and did not tear us apart……….

[@bravofoxable]

Just amazing, thanks Jay... I always wonder?.... What happens to all that knowledge and passion in such a person, pass it on, I can only hope. You are much more than just a walking encyclopedia, so much love for life... Great work 👍🏻

I also love old cars with hoods like this. Makes it so accessible and easy to work on

Love the covid editions Jay, it feels extremely personal

[@MRBoatwrights]

[@MRBoatwrights]

The regular episodes seem way over produced. These episodes seem a lot more real and personal.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

It's good to know there are guys out there that don't want to turn everything into a hot rod or a resto-mod... It hurts me beyond anything to see a perfectly good vintage car of any decade torn apart and made into some abomination.

[@MRBoatwrights]

@@Will_DiGiorgio I know what you mean. I am into hot rods and customizing as much as anybody but I don't like to see anything rare or all original torn apart. I believe it is best to use something to rough to ever be original again.

[@CuritsFabbi-m3z]

It’s amazing how Jay has acquired such an extensive knowledge of cars and all the moving parts that are involved in making them roll on four wheels. Some of the stories behind particular vehicles are amazing and he tells them with such precision it captivates the audience.

[@alejandrocruz2547]

“Subsequent Duesenbergs I got” Hahaha. Much love, Jay! You always put a smile on my face

[@VintageTechFan]

The Doble steam car, too. They built like 40 of them at all, 10-20 are still around and he has 3 or 4 of them.

[@doctorgille]

I feel like it's just me and Jay taking the Duesie for a spin around the block. Such magnificent engineering. I bet it will still be blasting around in another 90 years when everything built today is long-gone because the electronics crapped out and all the plastic bits turned to dust. The locking wheel hubs are quite a theft deterrent without the frammis wrench. Super cool!

[@josephgaviota]

There's a lot of truth to that. All this electronic stuff will bite the dust _way_ more quickly than the old metal and gears kind of thing.

[@seanfoster1980]

Thanks for finally doing this car. Always wanted to see more of the vehicle in your closing segment for these videos. Keep the Duesenbergs coming

That's what I noticed as well after not watching him for a long time and now when I'm back I can see changes when he talks about stuff. Still lovely listening to his stories though

[@houseofno]

Amazing that even the tire wrench reflects the level of engineering that went into the car itself. The curved design of the top of that dash looks remarkably advanced for the 1920s automotive design.

[@somannacs]

ecactly... designing that part. Production planning and bring up to finished product would have been a lot of work. Or that part could have been adopted from any other existing special purpose machine.

[@garrygballard8914]

Beautiful Jay, thanks for keeping it alive. Much appreciated for those down the road and the history.
