Got to Get You Into My Life by The Beatles

[@What.its.like.]

Yeah buddy congratulations you got it I’m gonna make it harder tonight that song came into my head when I saw the Tatra I was really taken aback by that car I wasn’t expecting @. to be there you were getting my reaction as I was walking through there I didn’t do a dry run or anything

[@Vampirebear13]

@@What.its.like. This was another great video. And for me just hearing a tad bit of the horns, I knew what song it was. Even though it's a cover, The Beatles did a great job with the song.

[@8176morgan]

@@Vampirebear13 The Beatles did the original version of that song which has been covered by many artists and those horns heard on the clip comes from their version which was played by a couple of session trumpeteers.

That white Cord is absolutely beautiful

It was extremely nice everything in that room was nice that was actually the last room that I went into I ran out a time there was an upstairs but I believe that the upstairs to that one was like a conference room unless they changed it from last time

[@batiusfinkius2923]

Kudos to the cleaners, that place is spotless!

Back when I was a kid growing up in Massachusetts, on several occasions I visited the Larz Anderson Museum in Brookline, which is just outside of Boston. It is billed as "America's Oldest Car Collection". He and his wife began retiring their old cars to the carriage house with their earliest automobile being an 1899 Winton Runabout. When she passed away in 1948 she bequeathed not only their complete collection consisting of 32 vehicles but their entire estate including their mansion to the town of Brookline. When I visited there in the late 1960's and early 70's they had on display a Tucker Torpedo and also Hitler's Mercedes limousine touring car. Those are both gone now but they still have many other unique autos on display including many from the original collection. I hope that you will get the opportunity to do a video tour of that museum someday because it is a marvel to behold and your viewers will undoubtedly be very impressed by it all.

I will have to look into that I’m going to try to go to Massachusetts this year. That’s sounds like a pretty cool place to go

[@charlesdalton985]

The Gilmore Museum is definitely worth the trip! Their car shows are awesome, and you can still tour the museums. Of course, you have to get lunch at the diner. Cars? 812 Cord, Delahaye and ANY Packard. Thank you as always ~ Chuck

[@What.its.like.]

Yeah is that place is absolutely incredible and their car shows are absolutely spectacular episodes downloading for tonight it’s a featured car from one of their car shows

[@jdgimpa]

I grew up in Michigan and lived about 35 miles from the Gilmore museum. Went there several times over the years. Was there the last time 8 years ago before I moved to South Georgia.

[@What.its.like.]

That’s awesome i’m thinking the south is my endgame as well I’d like to end up in Tennessee Michigan very pretty though I don’t think I would wanna live there the winters are really rough Just curious how many buildings were there when you were there last? I was wondering when they expanded and started adding buildings cause I’ve seen pictures when there wasn’t as many buildings there

[@tigre7739]

WOW!! So much auto eye candy!🤩 So much to choose from, it's even hard to put them in any order, but I think it would be the Delage, the Tatra, the '41 Lincoln Cabriolet, the Packard 12, the Rolls. 😎 Video

Glad you dig this episode that place is epic definitely worth the drive =)

[@gene978]

Well! Thank You Jay! I am so happy you seen these in person. If you could run in and drive out 1 car in this barn and you had 1 minute to decide which one would you drive out?

[@What.its.like.]

The Tatra hands down edit and I will just keep going I would not come back lol 😂

[@alexkalish8288]

I just toured this museum with my oldest son early this month. It's worth the trip. If you include the entire Museum - There is a superb Pierce Arrow , Many fine Packard's from the 30's and the Delauhay which is superb.

[@What.its.like.]

Totally agree

[@matskarlsson3219]

Hi Jay! This museum must be heaven if you love beautiful unique classic cars. Every car in this amazing auto museum deserves its own video! My top 3 favorite cars. No.3 1937 the lodge d8 120 Cabriolet. No.2 1924 Packard 143 and the number one car the white 1937 cord 812.

[@What.its.like.]

I wanted to do a overview on the Tatra so bad if I could just choose one car out of that one room it would be that one but the museum doesn’t allow you to sit in any of those cars or do any other guy box tests or etc. if I ever get the opportunity to showcase that car I wanna do a proper. Crazy thing is that wasn’t The room with all of the most expensive cars there was a room that I was in yesterday that must’ve had at least at the very least $30 million worth of cars each car and there was worth a minimum 1 million I might do that room tomorrow I’m not sure I’m talking Duesenberg, stutz, largo, Delage, packards auburn super charged speedster that room was absolutely incredible they also have a 1937 Studebaker coupe express my favorite pick up truck ever made (which is more or less a car with a pick up truck bed attached to it) I love your choices great choices glad you dig this episode it was like going to car heaven. This was the second time I’ve ever been there I was there once last year I might try to go back up there is the same distance there as it is to classic auto Mall

[@allenwayne2033]

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi Jay!: Well we must be related or something! My Top three from the museum was the same as yours, even to thinking the Delage might be a replacement for the BEAUTIFUL Packard V-12 Coupe! REALLY enjoyed this episode! I, too am a Delahaye fan! I too was surprised to see a TATRA!! Good Greif! If I ever get that far North again, will FOR SURE check that museum out! I was also glad to see several Wills Sainte Claire cars there. Their overhead cam sixes and v-8's were ahead of their time, and they were made in Marysville Michigan. I believe that there is a museum dedicated to the cars in that city. C.H. Wills was a brilliant engineer. There has been a book written about him that I read, pretty good book too.

I’m glad you dig this episode I’m finishing up the Pierce arrow building now I had a bunch of stuff come up yesterday. I didn’t do a dry run or anything I walked through the building with you guys so when I saw that in the corner I was just speechless cause that was a car that I never thought that I’d ever see in person. It’s one of my favorite cars that Leno owns that’s how I know of the car. The museum is absolutely epic admission is very reasonable at $20 Wednesday is the best day to go between May and September because they have Cruise in with local cars And they get anywhere between 500 to 1000 cars a night

[@tedium37]

Leno didn't fake pimp his 810 to look like an 812. The previous owner restored it then sold it to Leno. Love the museum tours content.

[@What.its.like.]

I really love the oak trees I’m guessing that they’re out trees we have Oak trees here but the ones there have so much character and your backdrops are just different I don’t have any words to really describe the landscape in Michigan it’s just different but it’s nice, It’s a totally different landscape then where I’m at in Pennsylvania

[@ROXSTARCorvette4371]

[@What.its.like.]

That was just one building I ran out of time whenever I was in there there’s an upstairs that place there was a Mormon there upstairs last year but I covered a Mormon in another room that was the only car upstairs last year so I figured there probably wasn’t anything else out there it was a conference hall

[@raymondsprengelmeyer1278]

Thank you for the tour!

[@What.its.like.]

More coming I figured I would break it down by building it’s so much easier to watch instead of a two hour long video. The other buildings that I filmed I did half the Lincoln building Pierce arrow had their own building Franklin There was a building that had a lot of 30s cars in it I’m not entirely sure what building that was that was a stellar room as well The main room I had a bunch of 30s royalty cars like Duesenberg stutz auburn and some others =)

[@rodneyfletcher9565]

Jay, I enjoyed this video greatly. I hope you have time to tour the Cadillac dealership. Thanks!

Please forgive me I didn’t get a chance to go in the Cadillac dealership I ran out of time I did an episode last year of the whole Gilmore experience as one video here is the link it’s really long and everything is totally different now for the most part let me rephrase that there’s areas that stay roughly the same and there’s other areas where they change a lot of things around kzbin.info/www/bejne/pae0ZWluj6iBbKs Glad you enjoyed this episode there’s more coming

As a guy that drives a 2002 derelict Civic, I will take any one. The Tatra was a jewel.

[@aldenconsolver3428]

Your right about that Tatra - that is so cool it hurts. If somebody just made a duplicate of that body I would buy it. You must do a full tour of this thing. Wikipedia has an article on it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_87 (and according to them its an overcam engine). Tatra is a Czechoslovakian company which still manufactures heavy trucks.

[@What.its.like.]

Ever since I saw the car the first time on lenos channel I’ve been in love/fascinated by that awesome Czechoslovakian car. It’s amazing that they came up with that

[@richardwarren7492]

The Tatra 8 is a 90 degree overhead valve 8 cylinder, 2.9 liters 85 horsepower and would do about 100 mph. It wasn't until after WWII they went to a V8 of 2.5 litres.

[@What.its.like.]

Awesome information I knew that they were pretty quick because they were designed using a wind tunnel, And are super aerodynamic for the time period

I can not believe my eyes how beautiful those cars are, l would rather have one of those than any of the tin cans they make today.

I’m not sure how far away this would be from Cincinnati I drove the same distance as I do to classic automotive but I think the drive was better.

That Tatra was a great Nazi-killer and, like my father, was a '38 model. However, it looks better than HE does... kinda no-fair... he was cremated in 2016. WHAT?! Too soon?
