The Earliest Special Order Cars

[@braxtonnelson5375]

The Dynamic Duo of automobilia!

[@murdoc6501]

It is an absolute joy and privilege to watch Donald and Jay unite and share their automotive knowledge and expertise! Amazing cars, amazing history, and amazing gentlemen! Go Donald, Jay, and Audrain, keep moving forward!

[@anklebar1]

Those two guys on that silly car with the horses in the background. Priceless! We need more of this in our lives. Made my day!

[@gregwright392]

These two gentlemen are just great to watch!

[@RedRam331]

Great video. I'll never get tired of hearing Jay talk about cars. In regards to the dashboard, the word "dash" in this context refers to a sudden shaking motion that causes material to fly through the air. Think of a "dash of salt." The dashboard was, as Jay suggests, originally a panel found on horse-drawn vehicles, which prevented muck kicked up by the horse's hooves from hitting you in the face. What's the connection to the dash in your car? Google a picture of a "Curved Dash Oldsmobile". Truly a horseless carriage, it's the first American car produced in significant numbers. The dash is down by the driver's feet. It provided a convenient place to mount some gauges to monitor the engine's functions. Thus the term morphed into the modern sense. By the way, to car a designer, that thing in your car is NOT a "dashboard". Those are found on Amish buggies. An automobile has an INSTRUMENT PANEL, or I.P. So now you know.

[@billminkowitz3710]

Love these guys together.

[@ozahmed4523]

Jay's knowledge of that era is great!

[@ИбрагимИсламов555]

People live hundreds thousands of years but the car was invented only less than hundred and forty years ago. It was just almost two weeks ago if we look back at the history of mankind. It is such a pleasure to enjoy car history and development of technologies, automobile sport etc. over the last more than hundred years till today. Not mentioning other technologie that we have a great pleasure to enjoy today. How lucke we are to live today.... You guys are doing great work, I love your channel. Every episode is a small masterpiece. Greetings from Ukraine and Good Luck!!

[@melvinburwell8202]

The brass era sir. These are among the first autos. Never seen anywhere. Fascinating. Only the Audrain. Love the colors then. Not just white gray and black. ❤💚💙🧡🤑😎

[@patrickhiggs1215]

Gotta love a good 'Road Apple' being thrown at ya when going to town... Hahaha, good one Jay ! Great video guys.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

Love these segments. Please keep them coming!😊

[@roccofortura2468]

Love you two together, great job, thank ypu.

[@cloader5756]

I wish I knew what these fellas have forgotten, let alone what they know. Thank you

[@decencywarrior9598]

Thank you gentlemen.

[@russwabuda1556]

what a video, what a parlance; what a guy, who matches his tie to the car. as for jay leno, thank you for taking up where bill harrah left us. this thanksgiving, i'm thankful for the respect shown to auto history. as for the layout of engine, transmission, drive axle, i hold that that was a connecticut contribution.

[@kriseckhardt5148]

Oh my! Jay! My grandfather had a patent for a water injection system near 1900. It was meant to retard the timing for Les pinging on inferior gasoline. It was also advertised to be used in the cold winters of Rochester NY by then filling it with raw gas as a choke/primer. We have all the parents and a few of the parts!

[@L3Trip]

I'm fascinated by these older cars. Truly enjoyable episode!!

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Epic show for all of us that love cars

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I hope Jay wasn’t too hurt in the recent accident! Jay we need you to spread the car love for many more years!

[@Jmeon4eva]

Considering he did a show that night and a night ago....while injured, I think he'll be fine.

[@lescobrandon3047]

I love this show. 😊

[@amazingjason455]

Jay’s a funny guy. He should think about being a comedian.

[@rachaelcarlson-simon1044]

I haven't even watched it yet but that was the best intro 😂

[@dougcargill6730]

These Brass Era cars are magnificent.

[@johnboydTx]

Fantastic Episode I do love Brass and Glass Era 👏👏👏👏 Thanks 😊✌️🩵

[@ozahmed4523]

Love the early autos. Especially the fender-less race cars.

[@suomenpresidentti]

My 2005 corolla has felt inner fenders. And rust free fenders with almost 300k on the clock. With salted winter roads here. Greetings from Finland 🎉

[@allenkranawetter9482]

I love this page

[@allenkranawetter9482]

💓💓

[@maxpayne2574]

The early history of road racing in France is fascinating. They raced on public roads used by horse drawn wagons. Spectators would stand in the road having no idea how fast the cars were coming at them.

[@jotighe2]

Watching Jay polish off his acting skills (by playing a car enthusiast 5 years older than he is now) in the opening sequence left me with "Collision Course" flashbacks...

[@Tmrfe0962]

I never get sick of watching this pair of Gentlemen talking about our hobby.

[@acad23]

Osborne is a national treasure.

[@VanWinger]

3:42 Coldwarmotors channel has a nicely refreshed soft-top Gordini G5 replica Renault Cinq. and another that is more of a 'daily' but only when he is not in the Craptacular Frazier or the Original Paint Tall Model T.

[@marcoluoma3770]

I love these guys and will watch anything they put on YT. (That said , I like French wine and French cheese and that’s about it…)

[@kriseckhardt5148]

Hey guys! Not only did my grandfather have the first Studebaker dealership in New England located where you have your museum my other grandfather was a 1905 hill climb champion! (I have the trophy). I don't know how to get in touch to show you all the stuff! I grew up in Little Compton RI.

[@chhindz]

In defense of those expensive early light bulbs. The first one (or about) is still working, in the Dearborn museum, and I have bought from dollar store, bulbs, put in a drop light and it was gone in a hour.

[@bigsarge2085]

So fun!

[@parrotraiser6541]

Donald and Jay might enjoy a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, called "The. Horror of the Heights". It was written in 1913, but set in 1924. It's a really interesting projection of technology, some awareness of the effects of atmospheric gas pressure, (completely wrong in parts), and an unconscious prediction of a real, but then unknown hazard to aviation. (Thunderstorms.)

[@captiannemo1587]

The Auto Car Magazine was started in 1899 UK Jay... The Autocar followed soon after.

[@davidhepp1903]

The 1911 FIAT's radiator mascot is one of my favorites. Anyone know who created it, and why the subject?

[@nickinportland]

It’s funny my house was built in 1907 and like I know it’s old and all but then you see a car like this and it’s like damn.

[@BubbaSmurft]

I have a Palm Pilot and all the accessories if you want Jay.

[@parrotraiser6541]

"The Wild Bunch" had to have been set in about 1912. One of the characters has an M1911 Colt .45.

[@ARNYKATZ]

Ha! I still have my old Palm Pilot!

[@EuropeYear1917]

Palm Pilots don’t exist anymore? Tell that to Clint at LGR! “Greetings, and welcome to another LGR… Thing!” 😂🤣😂🤣

[@PeterWiernicki]

Thanks to the Boston Northeast Region AACA (Bean Pot) for linking me to this video.

[@RandyBills-f7q]

very good

[@internetavenger]

Get well soon, Jay. He recently fell and hurt his head.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

The Mercedes simplex oilers look like trumpet keys.

[@LAP1050]

Jay looks great for being 125.

[@timgelder4263]

Apparently Jay doesn't remember they had horses and Buggies before cars

[@bennyhannover9361]

The brothers Marcel and Louis Renault I believe they were twins have been separated by one of these racers around 1908 Marcel died. And Louis never raced again…

[@bennyhannover9361]

And the Renault company shortly after ceased making race cars..

[@bennyhannover9361]

But with the 40 CV 7.6 liter inline 6 model reigned over The French luxury class for more than 2 decades until 1928…

[@VincentBasso-ix1zv]

He had a house in R. I. BUT raced on Long island NY

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

He did race in Long Island, as many wealthy men did at the time, but he raced on Aquidneck Island as well.

[@VincentBasso-ix1zv]

@@AudrainMuseumNetwork Aquidneck men didn't build parkways. L I men did

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

beautiful video "in the Good Old Style" with Donald and Jay.The day those videos are no longer, I will quit the channel....

[@bennyhannover9361]

I remember times when you could buy Trabants for 20 Deutschmark or less.😂

[@bennyhannover9361]

This simplex Mercedes was designed and engineered by Chief Engineer of DMG . Wilhelm Maybach!

[@dario1837]

👏👏👍👍👏👏👍👍

[@avmelidor]

Fun

[@notfried2004]

Who is the dandy in the white hair? And where is Jay Leno?

[@jimvanlinn-z4j]

I love to watch the show but the video quality is not that good!!

[@jamesonpace726]

This episode is truly a corker, as they used to say....

[@dennisgreene5055]

go on your computer and search dashboard dash is not a word for horsepoop. It refers to muck being thrown up("dashed-up") by a horse's hooves. Jay's asides are fun but sometimes just a little off But he's the best car guy in the world

[@madaro504]

RHD as god intended !!

[@alext8828]

Certainly horses go much faster than 15 mph pulling stage coaches. What are these guys talking about?

[@johndavey72]

Gentlemen ! There's more to life than cars ..... Steinway was the greatest piano maker of all time . And Jay , you 're knowledge should be aware of that !

[@naahhhbiitch6431]

Wrong . Cars are the only things that matter

[@edpeleschka2729]

Who cares? This is about cars
