After watching this it occurred to me Jay deserves a big thank you. He is helping document and educate about automotive history. You really get exposure to cars you never would any other way.
A true gentleman and admirer of fine Automobiles, Jay like most people with Class, loves good craftsmanship and horsepower. He's such a lucky man to be able to engage with us his fondness for Cars.
I’m 70 and although I used to devour Road and Track and Car and Driver, I’ve never heard of a lot of these cars that Jay covers. Indeed Jay deserves kudos from all of us gear heads that only have access to his videos.
The fact that this guy, Jonathan, took his concours winning car, drove it up to LA on a CA freeway and let Jay drive it says a lot about his character. He (and Jay) let us all enjoy this beautiful car. For any enthusiast, especially those of us who can never afford such a car, it's really special. Thanks, guys!
People are a little harsh on the owner who clearly is not terribly familiar with his own car. This car has clearly had a vast amount of work done by skilled craftsmen. These craftsmen will have bills to pay and families to feed, this mans money has enabled us all to see this car beautiful again. It is hard to believe that this car is from the mid 1950s, it looks much later, a two litre, six cylinder twin cam would have been expensive to make, but that is part of the art of the car.
Where does he show that he doesn’t know about his car? I watched the entire video and the owner was naming all the parts of the car as jay was asking about them. 🤷♂️
This particular model from Maserati epitomizes the essence of 50's and 60's Italian automotive design. The beautifully sculpted lines, bold trident embossed grill, and visceral engine hark back to a time when car companies could strike a great balance between power and beautiful design. It's nice to see this wonderful soul stirrer of a car resurrected to grace the streets once again.
A Car Guy talking to an Architect about a wonderful car. Jay loves the mechanicals the owner loves the looks. Very different perspectives on what makes this car so perfect.
@@colinjohnston8519 I love my car precisely because it is a silly design, and I am never going to pretend that the designers got every line right. Where is the fun in that?
Recovering from some medical problems and am house bound, I've watched all the episodes except a few short ones and some bike ones. Good medicine ,thanks to Jay, Berhard, Rick Hall, Per the Painter and all the guests and the cars, the fire trucks which are near to my heart as my grandpa was a fireman and he'd take me down to the station and I'd meet the other firefighters and sit in the large Anerican LaFrance trucks and be shown the equipment, slide down the brass pole from upstairs and feel the bond and brotherhood they had with each other. My grandpa's dad who passed on before I was born was the Fire Chief of this small Massachusetts city, and later my Mom's cousin became fire chief. I would have become a fireman in Marlborough, but my Dad and two of his brothers became military officers in WWII and stayed in for their careers and my life lead me other places but I still admire fireman and their trucks.
Ya know, I'm not too bothered that the guy isn't the Maserati guru. He can afford the car and he know how it's supposed to be used. Thats enough for me. Props to him.
Im finishing a. 1966 Maserati Sebring Series 2 and changed the troublesome MFI for Webers with side stacks. Twin plug six inline 3.7 liter. I am painting the car in highland green (2019 Bullitt). Boranis and painted the calipers red. Black leather interior. This video was a nice inspiration. been rebuilding it for 13 years. Hard to find all the parts I needed to replace but I did it finally. Paid 9,700 for the car in 2006 after it came out of a US Air Force hangar in the Canal Zone in Panama where it was shipped to from Italy and formerly owned by an Italian businessman sold to a US Air Force Captain who stored it in 1978 in the hangar at the back in a big crate for shipment back to Cali. He ended up retiring in Panama and I bought it from his widow..
You guys are pretty hard on the Guy. He is still an enthusiasts. I think pebble beach is the most prestigious show in the world. To win is no easy task. The car is immaculate and he took the time to show us. He doesn't have to be a mechanic. You guys are talking like he was a war criminal.
i agree dude, people are incredible inconsiderate to this guy, even if the only thing he did was put a black check and bought the car, he did not ask money from you, he likes the looks, paid for the car and have make sure that a rare piece of car art continues to live on, and you know what, the douchsbag are lucky, because i'm sure that if you believe that he doesn't deserve this car he probably will be happy to sell it for the right price... so go on people go and buy this car from the guy and "save it"
Right you are... I mean, I like cars, but I wouldn't know the first thing about restoring a classic so, if I had that kind of cash, I too would have pros working on it instead of me ruining it by trying to do it myself... Then I'd get to enjoy the finished product...
I love cars and I probably would restore my own Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ but this car, 250,000€, I'd leave it to the pros. I would get as involved as possible but the expertise of the professional is what this car deserves.
I'm glad to come back to this video and see everyone calling out the hateful comments. This guy put a fortune into restoring this car and it's absolute perfection.
When I first came to USA (…from the UK back in 1983) a friend told me, "…when you get to America, you'll realise that in America, $$ talks, bullsh*t walks! " I think Mr. Leno's Garage proves this! ;)
Exactly and I'm surprised that today's Cars are nowhere in competition with respect to design and specs. Of course there are some cosmetic changes and tweak's to engine. But I think these vintage can beat today's Cars.
Italians copied almost everything from the Greeks so ….. they basically invented modern design and then added taste . yes , nobody comes even close to the same zip code where they reign supreme .
E K too bad the owner can't pick a decent shirt, that style is only ever for use with a jacket and in tropical weather. Not even a style thing, just decency.
The owner and everyone involved did a magnificent job on this !! As an italian it brings a tear of joy seeing this wonderful machine 👏🏻 Forza 🇮🇹 P.s. 14:12 even recent Ferraris have the battery under the passenger's seat
As a car enthusiast, I am very glad the owner purchased this basket case and was willing to invest the time and money to make it so beautiful and functional. It is a work of art that was obviously wonderfully restored and potentially saved from destruction due to neglect or worse. He said that he and his children took it apart, so he obviously did get his hands dirty. But even if he paid others to do all of the work, I appreciate him and the restorers greatly.
My goodness. Look at those lines, unusually minimalistic /understated for a vehicle that's silver sporting chrome wheels chrome accents, I like the front, man what a piece of art!!wow that's beautiful
So much KUDOS to the owner who, without him the car would never have been put back together. Amazing job and even custom made parts that can't be obtained anywhere. Deserves first place!!!!
Plus he, his son and daughter disassembled the whole thing themselves. He's not.completely hands off and I can't think of a more enjoyable way for a dad to spend a weekend with his kids. .
dont get me wrong, i am a MASSIVE car guy, but i think the nicest thing about this mazza, and there are many nice points, is the paint, what a lovely colour and finish.
Jay Leno makes me want to cherish cars. Thank you Jay. I love classic cars. Don’t have the money yet to get one. But I really enjoy your admiration when you do these shows.
Such a Beautiful machine.What better way to spend time with family,than to build a puzzle,that's a Work of Art.Thank you for sharing this with us.Congratulations on a 100 point certification.
What an absolute KILLER restoration of that car. Just killer... 100 point, Pebble Beach car.. WOW! Mega Kudos to Mr. Segal for putting in the time, effort and mega money... Well done... Jay was like a kid with a new toy for sure... The sound that 6 'banger' makes is nothing but pure automotive magic... Nothing but sweet... That is HOW a car is supposed to sound... I'm SO jealous of Jay for being able to drive ALL of these incredible cars. LOL.... But then again, that's why he's Jay Leno. His depth, breadth and level of knowledge is astounding. I learn something knew every time I watch his show... I love it. Restore it to 100 points THEN drive it down to 40 points.. Perfect Leno statement LOL!!
So many people giving this guy flack for not building his own car, I'd like to see one of you pull apart a 60 year old car, or even a 5 year old car for that matter. He's an enthusiast and he loves his car, that's all that should matter.
Mr Segal, you have the ultimate recognition for your dedication, hard work and care for a vehicle: Pebble Beach. That is a beautiful, yes exquisite car. Thank you for all your hard work. Your generosity and faith letting Jay drive your car is appreciated. I wonder if Jay would let you drive his F1?
The 50s and 60s (and maybe very early 70s) was just the greatest time in automotive history. from the XK 120 to the E-Type, to this gorgeous Mazzer A6 GT Allemano, Healey 3000, Talbot-Lago GT Grand Sport, Lambo Miura, Merc SL Gullwing, Aston Martin DB4/5/6, early-ish Ferraris, Jensen Interceptor, 'Stang 428 Cobra Jet, Sunbeam Tiger, Shelby Cobra 427, 69 Corvette Stingray, AMX/3, 69 COPO Camaro... just incredible all of them. Boy, what a time to be alive! And then the bikes.. Velocette Venom, the Norton's, Triumphs.. and even harking back to the Vincent Black Shadow, and Brough Superior of the 30s and 40s. All automotive gold. And this A6 is just about one of the most beautiful Maseratis I have ever seen in my life. He is so lucky to have such a dream car , but what a lot of work he's put into it making it such a special example. Really well done, as Jay would say.
Thank you to whoever made the decision to put the sound of each engine/exhaust note at the very beginning of each episode. It always draws me in and makes me want to see under the hood. It would drive me crazy if I had to wait until the last third of the episode to hear each car. Many, many thanks.
Regardless if people like it or not, some cars need to remain museum pieces. Yes all cars should be driven that's the point of cars. Some cars however are so perfect that they become references for all other enthusiasts. These "reference" cars if you will need to be protected and maintained in top shape so other cars that are driven for pleasure are accurately restored. So come on give the guy a break he has a wonderful car and it's an essential part of the car culture
Jewels indeed. Thanks for sharing. For those who care to know; The Maserati brothers included Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, and Ernesto. The trident logo of the Maserati car company, designed by Mario Maserati, is based on the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna's Piazza Maggiore. These Italian inline 6's all sound great.
What a rarity, thanks for sharing, Jay is spot on when he said "old $$ car" these were more prestigious than Ferrari back then. In my opinion still are since they are carrying a lot more history. beautiful piece and its owner dressed accordingly. Great video.
4:48 The trident is actually part of the "Nettuno" (Neptun) fountain in Bologna, birthplace of Maserati, (though they moved to nearby Modena after some years) the Maserati brothers only decided to use a landmark from their home town as a logo for their factory
@e james Don't you mean the E type ? There's never been a Jaguar model XKE, even in the USA. XK is and Always was an engine designation. Only Americans call it an XKE.
@@digitalvelvet I am reminded of another quote from a friend back in the UK, "isn't it amazing how the Italians can make plastic look like anything! …and the Americans can make anything look like plastic!" :(
Another fine example of Italian styling. After adjusting for inflation that $10,000.oo price in 1956 comes out to $95,667.54, if anyone is interested. Thanks for posting.
OMG!!!! IF I EVER HIT THE LOTTERY I WOULD MAKE THIS GUY SELL ME THIS CAR! I love the look of this machine... The front grill with the big trident symbol is soooo amazing! Thanks for sharing.
That's a very attractive car. Nothing else looked quite like this in 1956. Beautiful Italian styling. Now, 64 years on it still is timeless. It doesn't look dated.
Jonathan, thank you for bringing this car for all of us to see and hear. What a piece of work. Magnificent. I'm sorry Jay wasn't a little more enthusiastic getting to drive this thing. Maybe he's getting a little jaded. Amazing car.
If Jay Leno or anyone else produces a book that documents all of Jay Leno's vehicles(including the steam cars and motorcycles), I would buy that book no matter what. He has done so much to educate all of us about car history. I owe him that much.
this is a beautiful car and i think the lines are slightly jag-like in their curves which adds to the appeal. congrats to the owners on a wonderful restoration.
After watching this it occurred to me Jay deserves a big thank you. He is helping document and educate about automotive history. You really get exposure to cars you never would any other way.

And then the bikes.. Velocette Venom, the Norton's, Triumphs.. and even harking back to the Vincent Black Shadow, and Brough Superior of the 30s and 40s.

And this A6 is just about one of the most beautiful Maseratis I have ever seen in my life. He is so lucky to have such a dream car , but what a lot of work he's put into it making it such a special example. Really well done, as Jay would say.
When Jay retires he should relocate to the south of France or the Italian Riveria and give some of these cars the setting they deserve.

That's a very attractive car. Nothing else looked quite like this in 1956. Beautiful Italian styling. Now, 64 years on it still is timeless. It doesn't look dated.
Beautiful automobile. Glad someone made the investment to restore it and be its caretaker.
Jonathan, thank you for bringing this car for all of us to see and hear. What a piece of work. Magnificent. I'm sorry Jay wasn't a little more enthusiastic getting to drive this thing. Maybe he's getting a little jaded. Amazing car.
That guy on the motorcycle startled me. ;o
Seeing and hearing this is a real treat!
I can't imagine what this museum piece would go for at auction.
Thanks Jay
Learned a bit more about the gear box this time....thanks Jay, for bringing that up. It's almost the titanium color of the 2000 XJ8.
Love the sound of those European Sixes!
Jeez, when they got into the car and Jay was talking about the brakes etc, it was hardly noticeable that the engine was running. Smooth!
Jay Leno's Garage? This is turning out to be more entertaining for me, a car guy, than Jay's tenure on The Tonight Show.
If Jay Leno or anyone else produces a book that documents all of Jay Leno's vehicles(including the steam cars and motorcycles), I would buy that book no matter what. He has done so much to educate all of us about car history. I owe him that much.
That thing is classically gorgeous!
Truly beautiful and all credit to the owner who seems a really decent fellow. Oooh aaagh is absolutely spot on!
Absolutely gorgeous looks and sound.
Saw a red one in London last summer and they’re just as stunning in person. One of the stunning cars I’ve seen
Simply stunning.
Same Maserati style grill as today. Beautiful trident.
Signature at its best.
Aww! I wanted to hear the difference between the city horn and the country horn!... Very beautiful car, though!... Thanks Mr. Leno!
An absolute jewel of a car.
Love the sound of the motor
***** No engine design will EVER make more exhilarating music as a straight six.
this is a beautiful car and i think the lines are slightly jag-like in their curves which adds to the appeal. congrats to the owners on a wonderful restoration.
The Sound !
Beautiful car, gorgeous paintjob, and yes it looks very Aston Martin.
Looks more like a mercedes...
Beautiful car. Leno never disappoints.
thank you very much for this report, Jay: what an eargasm!
