16:18 I think every person watching this show can agree what Dave said was perfect. Thank you Jay for appreciating, understanding and promoting the history these cars are. This stuff is really valuable. We are lucky to have Jay show all this to us around the world.

[@richardjames9091]

Well said I'm a fan in Northern England

[@cee128d]

My grandfather used to drive the rolling chassis down to the coach works in Connersville, IN and the finished ones back to Auburn, IN. He figured he drove more different Auburns, Cords, and Duesies more miles than just about anyone as it was about a hundred miles each way. The rolling chassis didn't even have seats so he strapped a milk crate to the chassis and sat on that.

[@kevinhiggler2896]

Isn't it illegal to steal milk crates? College kid dorm room furniture....Just kidding. Good piece of history!!

[@MicrophonicFool]

I can imagine what that mustve looked like 😂😂imagine seeing a man on a milk crate overtaking you, absolutely fantastic!

[@donniefronterhouse7793]

Jay could sell a Duesenberg any day. He loves them you can tell. My dad ( like Jay he was a car guy's car guy) used to talk about them but I never really knew about them really til I discovered Jay and his garage. Thanks Jay. I'll never afford collective cars but you have helped pass the torch. Since dad died I don't really have anybody to talk cars with. You are more of an older brother but you help with the void. Thanks for sharing all these pieces of unique history with us.

[@DM-wp9vq]

There are tons of us in this space/fans of this show, that would love to talk about cars/vehicles with you any time!

[@mikew2256]

I love the way Jay brings a car to life, putting them into perspective against their contemporaries and showing his passion for them all rather than just showing one as a well preserved ol' car.

[@nferraro222]

Oh man, this is so badass. The Ford/Duesenberg hybrid was featured in a "boys fiction" book from 1952. I never thought I would see one. Thanks, Mr. Blake and Family for saving it, and thanks, Jay for featuring it.

[@Redmenace96]

That car is something else. Absolutely amazing. Not a hot rod nut, but the history and engineering are something to behold.

[@CerebusTV]

What a great episode. Sometimes the more things change, the more they remain the same. In this case hot rodding's past is still the future. Now this is a real doozy!

[@hawlikd]

I love the look of vintage hot rods.

[@WS-gw5ms]

This is one of the most amazing hotrod I've ever seen. Maybe the most.

[@herbertwilliams1608]

The conversation is another jewel.

[@pointlessgimmickyusername9196]

That thing is incredible. Perfect mix of 'oddball' and 'traditional hotrod'. Jay says "I'm not a hotrod/custom car guy", but the hotrods/customs he features are top tier. More early rods like this, Jay. This stuff is why this is KZbin's best car channel.

[@rogerhoward7104]

Jay you are thee most enjoyable host of a Car Show than any other; because your heart is in it all in. This car is interesting because you leave no stone unturned about it's history. In my opinion you are the Best (clean joked) living comedian in the World. You find every little thing you can turn into a joke and making people happy. Thank you Jay Leno for being "The Best!" We NEVER get tired of you OR Your JOKES!

Jay's worth $350 million, 50 of that in cars, so yea, there's no car he can't afford, but this is a family heirloom, so unless they fall on hard times they will never sell it, and Jay knows that.

@@donh1572 , Reminds me of the guy riding the cow... MMMmmooooore!

[@jeremythompson9122]

This car is so awesome. Duesenberg's I think are the greatest American cars ever produced. They were literally decades ahead of their time in the 1920's and 30's. They had a Straight 8 engine in 1928 that made 320 horsepower. A 1932 Ford Flathead V8 had 85 horsepower. That is just so amazing. One of the coolest hot rods I have ever seen

[@volkscom]

Recipe for rich and simple French Onion Soup: Melt butter with olive oil in an 8 quart stock pot on medium heat. Add onions and continually stir until tender and translucent. Do not brown the onions.Add beef broth, sherry and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 30 minutes.Heat the oven broiler.Ladle soup into oven safe serving bowls and place one slice of bread on top of each (bread may be broken into pieces if you prefer). Layer each slice of bread with a slice of provolone, 1/2 slice diced Swiss and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Place bowls on cookie sheet and broil in the preheated oven until cheese bubbles and browns slightly.

[@AtZero138]

Nice... you didn't mention the Cams Grind Profile, i.e. lift or duration etc.. no worries, to each his Own..

[@sambaritone]

Jay was salivating over this car the whole time, just as I would have been. This is one of the coolest cars I’ve ever seen, thank you for preserving AND DRIVING IT.

[@jbpyper]

I really appreciate Jay's enthusiasm and knowledge. It comes across. Thanks Jay. Love ya.

Jay Leno you are the top's thank you very much,I are old now 75 years 0ld.....

[@lavonwatson8814]

I think Jay's Garage is far better than his comedy or late show work. His passion, appreciation and broad understanding of cars such as this gives us so much insight that we might not otherwise have about automotive history. Greatly appreciated, I just wish I wasn't a poor Kia owner, haha.

[@garryfrater7536]

The name of the man is Jay Leno and his show is called Jay Leno's garage so why Kay?

[@lavonwatson8814]

Haha, missed the typo, hopefully that's only a misdemeanor, correction made.

[@donnabanning3747]

Lavon Watson I used to watch him all the time back in the day. I even went to a taping of the Tonight Show when Jay was still there back in Oct. '13. He even sent me an autographed picture once. Speaking of Kia's, I'm going to go look at (and probably buy) one today.😄

yeah you are correct!! heres one more documentary on this lovely car brand!! Spain emperor and Indian maharaja's loved them too!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpOQk5ueit6lh8U

[@fidelcatsro6948]

these cars cost 30 times more than the normal price of cars back then!!

[@KeyWestChrisRehm]

Great piece! When I was writing my book, Time Traveler, I used the Duesenberg SJ with the supercharger option (1932 on). In researching the various cars of the era, I was floored when I saw the specs on the Duesenberg's engine with double overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and 320 horsepower! By comparison, a Mercedes 540K (k = Supercharger) of the same era, put out 180hp. The "State of the Art" Mercedes 540K was capable of 110mph, while the supercharged Duesenberg could actually do 137 mp!. No knock against Mercedes-Benz at all, it's just that the Duesenberg might have well been from another planet in the late 20's and 1930s! Totally amazing!

[@jamesholz1151]

That was awesome. Never knew it existed.

[@63mrl]

Blake Machine knows its craft; their 36 Buick Century fits with a normally aspirated straight eight has made it to six high speed runs at the Bonneville SpeedWeek, and captured four high speed class records. It's a pleasure to know Mr Blake, and his insight to American racing history.

[@SchaferTheRicer]

14:05 that sure looks like smoke. Good thing for that radiator fan

[@172-e5s]

Ya, I replayed that about 5 times to get a better look. I think it's steam because they talked about the radiator RIGHT after that.

[@marvindebot3264]

It would never be a Dusesy engine (I'm not that well off any longer and never will be again) but I've love to build a straight 8 rod like this. Long, low and beautiful. Truly one of the most extraordinary early 'rods.

[@roberthoffhines5419]

I noticed it too, kinda funny. I wonder if they were thinking the audio of the questions asked during the drive might not come across so good with the open cockpit and roaring J, and ran the same q&a afterward to be sure they had it, then just included if because they had it for filler

[@MrBothandNether]

I love how Jay looks to see the reaction to the offer at 10:00 ....we were all thinking the same thing, hoping beyond hope

[@TheFogLakeshore]

Jay has spent a lot of time on concourse and at auctions. This particular model is a no-ceiling car. My opinion is worth less than a pro appraiser, which is worth very little, and I'd say this is a $400k car easy. If the right old guys show up on the right auction day, it's a 7-figure car. He clearly would love to have it but he doesn't want to bid against it. He's also buffing the value for this guy cause that's how Jay rolls.

[@GETUPANDGO]

I was gonna say, seems like an offer needs to be much much higher than that

[@rogerhalt3991]

He was saying himself that it’s a family heirloom then in the car he made an offer. Come on Jay, that’s not even joke worthy, have some respect.

[@sdry]

Yeah good one. Jay knows this is worth millions these and this gentleman probably would not sell it :D (even that Jay could afford any price).

[@6h471]

That engine was manufactured by Lycoming for Duesenberg, as were a lot of Auburn and Cord engines of that period.

[@tracerloenan8020]

Yep, My Dad and I, with a good friend, once built a log splitter with a 4 cylinder Lycoming airplane engine to power it.

[@IronClad292]

Tracer -- Holy crap, talk about overkill, LOL..... I bet it was cool though !!

[@barryervin8536]

E.L. Cord bought the Lycoming engine company in 1927 and made it part of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenburg manufacturing company. Auburns were using Lycoming built engines even prior to that.

[@queenofyeay]

You are right Lycoming did manufacture engines for Duesenberg but it is fully a Duesenberg design. It was probably a wise decision to have Lycoming manufacture their engines as Lycoming was a well known engine manufacturer after WWI, but just about any willing engine manufacturer could have produce the Duesenberg design. It's the design itself that makes that engine so spectacular.

[@dougfielding8215]

Lycoming produced engines for the 50 Tuckers produced also. They used helicopter engines because they were overengineered. Another groundbreaking Tucker innovation that the big three couldn't compete with.

[@andyharman3022]

I keep coming back to watch this video again and again. The car's proportions and color are just so right. I love the way the shape of the radiator shell is almost a perfect offset of the straight-8's cam cover. It looks like the car was designed to show off the engine, so why have a hood to hide the mechanical sculpture?

This series will become a piece of history by itself. Got to say Jay Leno is remarkable. He brings great humour, insight and warmth into the already colourful world of the classic motor car. His interviews and treatment of guests and their vehicles has taken more than a step up, its taken a blinkin' ladder. This has become the internet home of historic and classic cars, and everyone is invited. The experts, the owners, the dealers and the men and women who like to be entertained and educated with a bit of engineering and history. I love this channel. I hope it will become as familiar to people the world over as (er soft toilet roll)? EDIT: or spaghetti. If that was enough arse licking, Mr Leno, I need to find work....any chance?

It's apparently something behind the car, not the car itself. It doesn't show up in any other scene, even when Jay steps on the pedal. The two in the car don't mention it or even pause in their conversation. You can bet that if such a rare engine started unexpectedly emitting any smoke or steam they would immediately notice and stop the car.

[@timmy9796]

Omg Duesenberg is like my favourite manufacturer ever :D love u Jay :)

[@Notoproject2025]

I miss the days jay showed his own damn cars

[@RiggyRonnie]

Ratt Rodd he's only got like 200, let them last.

[@johnpossum556]

I do, too. But his encyclopedic knowledge on the topic makes up for it. Makes me wonder how long he reads up and studies for each interview. He can't possibly remember all these cars & their details all the time.

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

...Jays been a student of the auto since he was 8 years old...getting every magazine, not just looking at the pictures but reading them front to back several times over. from what I understand he still does it to this day.

[@johnpossum556]

Yeah but to know the cost of a chassis in 1930? It seems like he might have to brush up some before his guests come. Some of the info it just seems like it would not be in just magazines. I did that a lot when I was a teenager and 20 something but I wouldn't know the cost of a rare car chassis in 1930s money.

[@bitfreakazoid]

Really complaining about him showing cars like this?

[@biscuitninja]

Duesenberg Brothers, Offenhauser, Barrett, etc. etc. Wooow!

[@shawoo]

Will it do a burnout?

[@bitfreakazoid]

You can hear the tires squeal a little when he gives it a bit of gas while already driving down the road at one point. :)

[@benn454]

Easily.

[@jasonquam9790]
