Nethercutt’s 1928 Isotta Fraschini Landaulet Type 8A | Jay Leno's Garage

[@siraff4461]

Attention car designers. This is what we want. Not a larger ipad glued to the dash of another boring suv. This. Real beauty.

[@ThisCarChannel]

That is a cool comment :) If I am not mistaken, certain types of movie-productions try to refrain from using smartphones or tablet devices since they are emotionally connected to everyday life and work. Maybe a sentiment that will play a role in future car design.

[@91Bear]

This car cost $12,000 in 1928. I'm sure if you have $206,704.19 today, you can get your car without an iPad on the dash.

Jay's consistent engagement with the younger generation of auto enthusiasts - from curators of world-famous automotive museums to the average Joe who did a nice job restoring his BMW 2002 tii - is such an admirable trait.

@@tolanstout He's the youngest member of the Nethercutt family and, in this video as well as others, has clearly demonstrated a deep knowledge of the cars in the Nethercutt collection. He is probably set to inherit it all eventually, and just like any inheritor of something so large and complex that affects many people should do, he is involved in daily operations of the collection and probably regularly taught by his father about the cars he will eventually be curating solo. He kept a constant conversation going with Jay, and Jay almost never interrupts him (the way he does with many of his guests) so that right there is a sign of respect.

[@marcusbrutus1999]

Another great one from Jay. Coincidentally, I recently bought a book on cars built from 1886-1940, authored by Rob De La Rive Box. The I.F is featured. I did not know that I.F produced a smaller car designed by 18 year old Ettore Bugatti! In 1910, I.F were the first producer to construct cars with 4 wheel brakes and later, they were first manufacturer to build a straight 8. Apparently, this was bored out to 7372 c.c. producing 160 bhp @ 3000 rpm. What an amazing car the 8a and later, the 8b were. I had never heard of them until I bought my book. Thanks Jay!

[@captiannemo1587]

in an old autocar magazine from 1904 there is an account of an French made inline 8 from 1887. Although I have yet to find the engine anywhere.

[@derrickrees8895]

I believe the high powered version was called the ' Tipo Spinto '

[@paulshubsachs4977]

According to Borgeson, the little I.F. (Model F.E.N.C.) was designed by the long forgotten Giuseppe Stefanini whose design inspired the layout of the small Bugattis. Ettore did not work for I.F.

@@Mrcaffinebean Well, it can come awful close! Jay is famous for doing complete ground up restorations. Right down to the frame. If he cannot find parts, he literally finds companies that will make them for him as he is able to get the original manufacturer specs. He's very good at it. Did you see the video on the Duesenberg he bought in New York City that had been owned by the Strauss heirs? You know, the ones that owned Macy's and went down on the Titanic? The car was basically trash. But since Jay is the second owner, he literally had the entire car rebuilt. He even had screws manufactured because he could not get the originals. I heard it cost him over $200K! But that car sure is beautiful. I don't see an accident so severe that the car cannot be rebuilt. Unless the frame is bent beyond straightening and he cannot get or have another one built.

[@UberLummox]

Thanks Nethercutt Museum for sharing this rare marque!!! It's truck-like qualities definitely resonate over the screen, along with it's delicate artisan qualities. This would've made one hell of a tow truck conversion, which were the fate of more than a few of these kinda cars by the '40s. They were more truck-like than the trucks of the time! This could probably pull a whole line-up of AA Ford trucks.

An absolute beauty. The lines. The body design. I've been waiting so long for this, that I had forgotten my desperate request for it some time ago. To be motored is different from driving.

Thanks man for taking the time and going through the efforts of showing this beauty. Much appreciated. Regards from Denmark, Scandinavia.

@@inlangford Yes. I get that. But if you divided 202K by 50 (the factor between the model T and the Isotta), then a low priced car today would be $4K.

Jay, another great classic car video.

[@sparky6086]

There was a banker in my city back in the 1960's who like Jay, routinely drove cars from his extensive collection around town. He had a Stutz Bearcat & most of his collection was from that era, 1900-1920, dozens of cars. He was funny, because he would wear period driving gear & costume, scarf, goggles, & all nonchalant, as if he were on a routine trip to the store! Can't exactly remember what happened to his collection? Seems like; he died around 1980. I think, that it was sold off piecemeal by the estate. Too bad, but I suppose, that it would have been difficult to keep the collection intact, & it was certainly better than being sent to the crusher. I should look up the details, as I'm going by my foggy memory. I remember, that the banker was somewhat of an "outside the box" thinker and was one of the first, if not the first, to emphasize having various physical branches of the bank for customer convenience. People take it for granted now, but 80 years ago, usually a bank had one location, so if you had to go to the bank, and you didn't live downtown, it could be a bit of an ordeal.

Hi Jay, I heard that the reason chauffeur compartments were open was because in those days they lived in the garage with their cars and did not have the modern baths that most people have these days. So they basically stank and an open front insured they passengers would not have to endure their b. o.

[@writerconsidered]

The disconnect is astounding. Maybe pay them more so they could get a place with a bath. I love cars but I'm no fan of the ignorant wealth gap that can be the underbelly of some of these cars.

[@mrdanforth3744]

I don't know who told you that but it is nonsense. A chauffeur or other working class person had as good hygiene as necessary. The real reason for the open chauffeur compartment was that they did not have modern heaters or defrosters so closed cars had foggy or frosty windows in cold damp weather. Also it was considered unhealthy to go back and forth between a heated car and the open air. Safer, and healthier to have an open unheated driving compartment and dress for the weather in a warm wool uniform and cap. The passenger compartment did not matter if they could see out or not and they did not have to get out to start the engine, open doors etc.

I am the father of two boys and we watch every episode. I try to impress upon my boys that The designing and the making and production of cars is technical artistry. What a beautiful car. Please don’t stop showing the artistry and explaining the detail because The boys and I would really miss it .

That is an absolutely beautiful car, I prefer stuff from the 50's but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like classical cars as well.

I found myself here after just watching Sunset Boulevard. As a teenager here in Australia (1980's) I remember my friend's dad had an Isotta Fraschini engine sitting outside his shed. I was always amazed at the size of the thing. The strange name always stuck with me, and I always wondered what the car looked like that had this huge engine. I mostly forgot about them until watching the movie. To see one in use on the road is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Back in 19 86 when I was in junior high school, my dad taught me to drive a car on his 1931 Studebaker dictator. He told me if you can drive one of these you could drive anything

A lot of work went into this old girl, and it's evident from bumper to bumper. Beautiful car, Jay, and thanks for showing it to us.

The car used in the film, "Sunset Boulevard", was the #1587 owned in 1980's by Tom Monaghan and is now in Museo Dell'Automobile in Turin, Italy (since 1972). I thought it looked familiar.

Cool, thanks!

So cool of Cameron to bring these Jems to JLG. Getting to see them on the road is truly amazing! Many thanks to Cam!!!

Where is the Cadillac Celestiq

[@SalemTechsperts]

I had the honor of seeing one of these in person at the Misselwood Concours d'Elegance this year. It won best of show, which was no surprise. I was able to take some good 4K video of it and put it on my channel.

According to the inflation calculator. $12,000 in 1928 is equivalent to $207,912 today

I know who Sergio Franchi is. He lived in Stonington CT. My father was friends with him. I had he opportunity as a child to see his cars at his home in his multiple garages. I was amazed at the beauty of his collection. They were in showroom condition. After his death, his wife showcased some of the collection at Foxwoods Casino and later sold off the cars and where they garages were , there are now houses there. It sickens me to see that. The property is now for sale. Beautiful home on what was originally 250 acres.

just need a giant Monopoly board to go with it

Do you think you could film a Maybach Zeppelin? I'd love to see that car on the show.

[@Freimopp777]

In the last Hispano-Suiza video when they were discussing hidden cars he mentioned the Maybach Zeppelin of the collection they found in Poland and said "We were supposed to bring it here, but that will be for some other time in the future. This Maybach was featured in a episode of MyClassicCarTV, but it is now painted in black. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4SaqoCclJd7gbs they go for a drive later in the video.

That car is just a beauty. What craftsmanship. Thanks Jay for posting.

All contemporary luxury cars looks like cheap budget options compared what they had back in the 20s and 30s.

The gear whine reminds me of the old tractors we had on the farm. Leaves me feeling nostalgic for our Oliver 88.
