    This car is amazing. It looks exactly like a toy car. From every angle, it looks like Jay and Ralph are standing in front of a really well constructed 1/8 scale model car. Amazing attention to detail.

    Jay is being so polite about the car...it's obvious he hates but i respect his courtesy to other people's lack of taste and keeping the focus on the build quality.

    I really appreciate it when Jay puts cars up on a lift. I think all car shows should do this.

    I bought a tan 1962 4door Belair for $1.00 back in 1981, my old neighbor passed away and his son asked me if I wanted to buy his car. I said "how much" he said one dollar. SOLD! The son was an executive for Chevrolet and didn't want the car.... it had less than 60K on it and a back seat that looked brand new. It had the 283 with the 2speed automatic trans. Shifter on the steering column and a am radio. Drove that car for many years.... thanks again Mr. Sur!

    Gotta be one of Jay’s best videos. The interaction between these guys is entertaining. The car is gorgeous, such detail. Certainly has to be a trailer queen. Couldn’t imagine driving this thing for an hour then spending 2 days cleaning it.
    Rolling art work for sure

    Hello, Jay
    I'm a fellow MA guy who lives in Colorado. A car accident shut me down in 2010, but I'm not out.
    I know that your good opinion of classic Detroit sheet metal stops at around '65 - '66, but I have a dream car - a '67 Impala SS Coupe, with a 427 w/aftermarket fuel injection, and a 6-speed Tremec manual.
    My father brought one home from work when I was a kid, and he scared my mother senseless with it.
    He had just been promoted to General Manager at his job in Boston back in '66, and from '66 on, he got a brand-new company car every year.
    The car was a bluish color, with a white roof. It was a 4-speed, and my mother said no - get a station wagon. Dad didn't let on, but he seemed to be bummed out. After 3 months, he came home with a dog-do colored Chevy station wagon. 327, automatic, family hauler.
    The coke bottle body on the Impala SS, a la Camaro, was (and still is) beautiful to me. I'll never be able to afford one now, but I can always dream. I enjoy your TH-cam channel, and if you finished reading this entry - thanks. LW

    Met Ralph when I sold him a custom garage door for a house he had in Bellflower about 20 years ago, coolest guy you'll ever meet. Took me down to his shop on Downey unbelievable what a kid from the hood in Torrance did with his life personally and in the business world the man is a genius and a real gentleman. MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 💯

    Much thanks Ralph Holguin for sharing your amazing car and labor of love with us, and also Jay Leno for his amazing knowledge he brings to the table and the teriffic questions that brought this masterpiece to life. He is right about the memories that this car evokes in those of us that knew them fron the neighborhood and saw them daily on the road. I surely would have loved to see the smile on Jays face as he drove this beauty and would have loved also to hear it purring. Great show !!!

    Beautiful auto. If, and I mean if I was forced to criticize it, I would have had the exact same sculpture of the interior, with the only difference being the color. I love the work, artistry and innovation of this auto. That is humbling to admit since I feel that the 64' GTO is the most iconic auto EVER produced! I just appreciate this builder, BTW, my first job was a detailer/lotboy at Ash GMC on 96th and Pacific Ave, Tacoma WA!

    To all the people posting negative comments, Have any of you ever built a car? Have any of you spent thousands of hours designing something then turning it into reality? Have any of you prepared and painted a car to this level of detail and finish?
    Have any of you thought how you would feel if someone posted your type of comments about something you had put so much of your heart and soul into, You should be ashamed of your selves, maybe you should post images of the amazing cars you have all built for the rest of the world to comment on.

    I don't know if you are reading the comment section Mr. Leno (I assume you have a lot of other things to do), but thank you for your love of cars. In France, cars are a little bit persona non grata (in french we say "litote", but I think the word in english is "understatement"), but in my opinion, a good isomorphism to good life is having the chance to ride good cars (regardless their age). I ride a little DS3 Performance, which is a child of Citroën and Peugeot. Is is not a well done car, but the chassis and the engine are just marvelous.

    Not to my taste at all, but I can appreciate the time and effort that went into it. I'd be upset if it was the _last_ '62 Bel Air, but it's not, so why get mad?

  • @tom7601
    @tom7601 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember Hayden Profitt(sp?) racing a '62 bubble with a "409". Story was that he had bored the right bank something like .030 over and left the left bank stock. The reason was that the right side had the air conditioning compressor along with all the plumbing. When the NHRA did a tear down they always did the left bank only. Probably an urban legend, but a good one. :-)

    Off the charts awesome custom 62. Only thing I would do is put some matching grey bezels around the tailights they totally look unfinished to me. Interesting to me is that from the side and front he made it look a little like the early 1963 Galaxie by softening the sharper edges by removing and modifying the trim-amazing job!!!

    Gotta say, I don't usually like "modernized classics" - but this is just done so well that it blurs the line. It looks almost like a modern "throwback" car, like the Dodge and VW throwback models. It looks like what I would expect Chevy to release as a concept car for a "throwback Bel Air" to compete with the Dodge Challenger.

      Come on Cruza can you blame them for making that car a trailer queen? You have to at least give props for what was done to the car ? It's now a piece of art that any regular vehicle could not compare, or you only mad that it doesn't have 2 wheels?

  • @rollin19
    @rollin19 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    When there's too much invested into a car it turns into a trailer queen,like this one.
    It gives you anxiety because it's either....it can't be driven too much...or be parked too long.
    Your either building a car to be driven and enjoyed..or your just building it to compete in shows.
    You can keep your throphys,because at the end of the day...I'm driving mine and I'm having more fun then the guy who is looking at his perfect car,sitting in the garage.

      Mr Mac Luckily there are also guys who built show quality cars but drive the wheels of them. I know an guy with an 1950 mercury, fully customized, candy apple red paint job absolutely gorgeous car. When he finished the car he said he couldn't wait on the first scratch or dent, just so people could see the car gets used.

    • @johncastillo2194
      @johncastillo2194 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would’ve looked 100x better original. Even pink if he’s so keen on it, but he ruined this poor classic
