I'd love an episode where jay goes over to the museum and just chats with us about some of his favorite cars at the museum.
What about converting the museum, into housing for the homeless in California..
Instead off a garage for rich people cars..?
@@graemejohnson9025 The homeless would poop in the back seat.
@@graemejohnson9025 This is the dumbest comment, I've ever seen this year lol.
@@graemejohnson9025 there's an idea, give up the home you worked for for people who would rather shoot up the money they make. Have at it champ. I'm sure they'll love shitting in the corner of your kitchen.
@@drazed6061 I'ts A Doozie....
I like Jay, he's a lead foot on the gas no matter how rare, expensive or exotic a car is.
No Leadbelly but leadfoot LoL
Lead foot Leno!
No he's not. He doesn't go full throttle on most old things he drives
@@Onamission1745 right! on a side note, don’t think i’ve ever even seen jay do a burnout
Nethercutt?? With a name like that, liberal lunatics are bound to accuse them of being criminally white
"I bought a couple Bugattis..." a statement very few could make. What a beautiful car. You can hear Jay's passion for these.
Jay never loses his enthusiasm! Nor does he ever out of history and specifications to share with all of us. We will miss him when he's gone.I hope it's later than sooner!
Haha!! I wonder if Jay put in offer to buy that beauty?
Ettore Bugatti is Jays favourite car guy.
especially old bugattis, much more expensive than the new ones!
You know he says that and I don't feel like it's snobby at all he truly takes care of these cars and preserves them and really deserves them awesome guy , even if I was a letterman fan
Jay: explains exact history of the car.
Owner: "yeah, I think so"
Jay is such an encyclopedia
You'd think Cameron would've spent five minutes with his phone gleaning facts on the car before taking it to Jay's and appearing grossly ill prepared.
@@johna1160 Cameron has spent his entire life around this private collection and I'm sure knows more actual facts about the car than any book references. He seemed to be able to answer most of the questions Jay had (and already knew answers to). Funny...I didn't see him looking at his phone once. Oh I get it, because he's younger than you, you assume he's glued to a phone all day. On the contrary, he's around cars of such quality all day the likes of which you will never be fortunate to be around yourself. So long old timer.
Jay Leno never shut up during this episode. For someone famous for being an interviewer it would have been nice to ask his guest some open questions rather than just looking for verification for his own statements.
@@chrisshaw2810 Correct
@@chrisshaw2810 YES on the give the other guy some Mike time.
The intricacies of pre-war engines, especially Bugatti, are really feats of engineering. Love them!
You're the man Wes! I hope to see you at Jay's garage sooner rather than later!
Live your channel too Wes. Take care.
Love your channel! Sheeeeesh!
I love you more
That whine...
One of the best shows ever! What a car! Jay was over the moon driving this piece of history and his joy is infectious. At 23:15 Jay says something like, "Let's take it up to the hills." Would kill to be on that ride. Thanks Jay.
I am surprised it took this long to partner with the Nethercutt museum. My wife and I have visited the museum in Sylmar, CA on numerous occasions. The museum staff are professional and very helpful. Very impressed with Cameron's appearance and demeanor. His parents (and maybe grandparents) raised him right.
From Cameron Richards to Leno . . . "As far as I'm concerned, you have the golden ticket".
That compliment brought a tear to my eye.
Beautiful cars and the collection looks amazing, with a stunning building housing them. Jay would you like to do a walk around their collection with Cameron and share stories and your automotive knowledge as you walk through these works of art? Sadly I don't think I will ever get to see these for myself and you are the best person to talk us through that amazing collection with Cameron. Please give this some consideration as these mechanical masterpieces deserve to be shown, kind thoughts and best wishes from Scotland.
As a resident from Sylmar CA, I can assure you the Nethercutt is just as Jay describes. Floors and floors of perfect classic cars.
Hey Jay! Greetings from Dublin, Ireland. Long time listener, first time caller. Love the old car videos, the new supercars..? Meh. It’s the stories and history with the old cars I prefer. Anyway thanks for the shows. REALLY ENJOYED YOUR CHAT DURING THE DRIVE! CAUGHT EVERY WORD!!!
Only Jay Leno will introduce a guest, and the car they brought, then, "say tell me about it"
Then proceed to tell the owner all about it.
✌️😎👍Jay Leno an American Icon, and classic car collector, restorer, an auto aficionado.
Who's an owner to some of the worlds greatest cars ever produced. He enjoys how the cars drive as much as how they look.
I thought it was very telling, a very beautiful gesture by Jay.
Just before they closed the hood, Jay ran his hands over some parts, without saying a word.
It was a real appreciation of the workmanship and effort by the craftsmen of years gone by.
Jay is someone who appreciates the difficulties of creating these works of art.
I really don't want to listen to anyone else talk about cars, as nobody else has the experience and enthusiasm!
When you think you've seen it all... It looks like a bobbed type 57. To put this in traffic is like rolling out a Faberge egg out for the kids to hunt at Easter. Just crazy rare and valuable.
Interesting part that by the end of this very short clip the car started running smoother no more puffing exhaust.. so it needed to stretch her mechanical joints a bit..
Big love for Jay showing all these beauties, we are big fans watching from Europe.
..yeah..did anybody else notice how close that parked Tahoe came to U-turning into it at 0:37..?
@@dyer2cycle I did and missed a heartbeat at this point ^^
$30 million ??????
Got to see it in person at Audrain. Maybe the most beautiful car I have ever seen.
The words "jewelry" and "art" come to mind first before calling it an automobile. Stunning art-deco machine.
The Nethercutt restores to absolute perfection. Their museum and collection must be seen to be believed.
I’m from Sylmar and I tell people to come check out the collection. Its fuckn insane how it is just stashed in this hill city away from LA. And it is free
10 years ago, I was in LA. Never heard of Nethercutt museum until today. Definitely on my bucket list now.
@@savage22bolt32 It really is great. And the Duisenberg room, with I guess 3 or 4 story ceilings, those marble columns ... it's truly an automotive PALACE.
Nice language mania
Been to Nethercutt a few times. It truly is the best car museum in the world in terms of vehicle restorations and their provenance. I doubt any other remotely similar museum keeps all of their vehicles in excellent running condition and they are actually driven!
No Jay, you were not 40, 16:05. You were 50 in 2000.
A great interview with a kid that knows nothing about the car. His job title is just a means to justify his allowance.
Yeah. He said it was “swoopy”. That was about all the conversation he could sputter out.
exactly. And sorry, but his know-nothing presence degraded the review AND the drive...get a mechanic from Nethercutt to accompany Jay...the dialogue would have been more engaging.
The young man probably enjoyed a full day at Jay's garage, Nethercutt is a fantastic collection, but this is Jay's garage to a kid who grew up watching his videos! Some fun was no doubtfully had!
THANK YOU... JAY
"Hello Allstate? Yes, I want to file a claim. I was making a U turn and I t-boned a Bugatti...hello? Hello?"
Man, Jay was really running that thing.
Jay likes to let the engines breathe.
Car ain’t been drove like that in years and I mean years and you can tell it
Yeah, but no surprise.
Jay likes to play with these Toys -- and he is very seríons and knows the business...
The fact that Jay and these automotive caretakers get these mega rare and super expensive cars on the public roadways with just anybody driving around them in many cases is very commendable or just crazy.
It's called insurance. Even if something did happen, these guys could put it back together again.
The resources and technology are available to rebuild these beauty's. Cars are meant to be driven!
Yes, it's very "crazy" to drive a machine designed to be, well, for a lack of a better word "driven"....
What are they thinking?
😂 😂 😂
Did anyone else see the big SUV sitting in the curb lane, that made a u-turn just after they passed. If that driver hadn't seen them, and pulled that turn 2 seconds before...... 🙈🙈💥
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Those shapes are mesmerizing!
You can tell this was a race car, the acceleration is impressive for a car made in 1931! What a blast, amazing car!
Again, that doesn't make any sense. I feel like no one has studied ANY car in 1931 to say how fast they went.
I can tell this is one of Jay's favorite cars he's ever reviewed. He has a soft-spot for Bugattis.
Jay was as excited driving this car, as an 8yr old is on Christmas morning. Very cool!
Usually Leno lets the guest tell the car’s story and adds a bit of color here and there but not this time.
The young grandson was quietly nervous but relaxed some on the ride.
Beautiful little car with a tiger for an engine.
The crash box shifts are brutal and so manly! Cheers 🇨🇦
I thought he did very well, only 3.3 million people could be watching this video.
The engine sounds amazing. Another enjoyable presentation. No insult intended but I have to say that today's Bugatti has nothing on the classic Bugatti cars. What beauty and craftsmanship for all of us to see thanks to Jay Leno. All the best from Cape Breton Island in Canada.
I like how JL appreciates the engine by touching all the parts. I would have done the same.
Great video, and an amazing car! But when will you do a video on your own type 51? You have been teasing us for years with that blue beauty in the background. I'we heard it's a replica, but I would love the story and a video nevertheless.
Just a stunning work of art. I could stare at this car all day long.
Damn, I was hoping they'd show them getting in, the doors looked pretty small.
Beautiful car. Would love for Jay to showcase more cars from this Collection.
Jay is genuinely really excited about this car. Great highlight of an incredible collection.
That car is simply awesomely incredible. Thanks for the show Jay and Co.
Just WOW. One of the best videos Jay has ever done. I don't remember the kids name but he needs to drive that collection to keep them in running condition. Imagine being so rich your personal museum is free. He might want to consider investing in dress denim.
What an amazing engine and super charger. Love the sound of the transmission gears. Looks like it has pretty massive positive camber. Can't quite imagine the purpose of that but it must have done something they wanted.
You know, I was just thinking the same thing! I've been looking at photos of Bugattis for almost sixty years now, and when you see the open-wheeled cars -- say, the 35s, 37s, 51s, or 59s -- the extreme positive camber is really eye-popping. I suppose it was more acceptable back when tires were hardly wider than a bicycle tire, but...what was it supposed to accomplish? Can anyone explain the thinking behind it?
Back then, GP cars were like that, they didn’t quite understand suspension physics I guess.
I was focused on the gear change sound too. It was unique, sold, and cool to hear.
Wow. You can certainly tell Jay is in his element with this one. Happy camper!!!
Thanks to Jay and Cameron for sharing this piece of history with us . . .
Awesome stuff. Jumped over to the Nethercutt website and man do they need a new one. Jay is just the best. So many unique rides over the years. Long may it continue.
Yeah that website is a little clunky. Must be busy meticulously restoring classics...
They are obviously car people and not webmasters. Might be time to lower your expectations for a car museum that doesn't charge admission.
How did that guy get his job? Duh
When another car collection leaves Jay nearly breathless with emotions, then you the Nethercutt Collection is a place for an enthusiast to visit.
I have watched all your episodes and this segment was incredible! What a beautiful car with a great story!
Awesome looking classic car.
For some bizarre reason I never got the notification for this vid., even with the Bell turned on for all notifications. Thankfully, it came up on my Recommendations page.
i never get notifications ,but come Mondays i always look for a new video from Jay .
Jay knowing more about the car than the owner himself.A classic...
What a gorgeous car. It's dated in design (which is a good thing here) but timeless in class. I can't even imagine back then. 180hp in 1400 lbs is still a great power to weight ratio today. 360hp in a 2800lb car would be more than respectable. Putting it into perspective of most cars of the day, getting a ride in this would be like getting a ride in a luxery supercar or hypercar of today.
When he said 2.3 liter I recalled that's what wasin the Vega rated at 75 hp with single barrel carb or 90 hp with the 2-barrel.
My 2020 Toyota Yaris/Mazda Mazda2 hatchback has a 1.5L 4-cylinder that makes only 106 horsepower and about the same in torque.
30 years before my mini, 100 lbs lighter and 140 more horsepower
Spot on 2K. Imagine cruising at 190 KPH in 1931 in something that looks this modern and beautiful even today.
it would be almost impossible to comprehend when it passed you while you were flat out 70 KPH
Not engine turning, just some artistic metal scraping patterns, actually designed to hold a few molecules of oil to prevent rust and corrosion on cast iron machinery. Used here strictly for bling.
Bugatti's vast use of aluminum castings throughout his cars pioneered aluminum for aircraft. And yes, he did design and build an areoplane between the World Wars. His cast aluminum wheels had steel brake drums machined into them. He even invented tempered aluminum half/leaf springs.
That aluminum firewall you're looking at is actually the one-piece cowl support and firewall, cast as one piece. His aluminum frame rails are mirror image cast aluminum "C" channel pieces rivited together. Bugatti was one smart Frenchman.
I smiled throughout that entire episode. Jay, you were really in heaven today...wow! What a magnificent automobile and for all of us to experience this priceless motor on the road going through the motions, well...how cool is that?! Thank you, thank you so much Jay. What an honour.
Jay really thank you for sharing this car. It's just as beautiful as your Atlantic.
So awesome to see the younger generation appreciating such a beautiful vehicle.
i was looking at the fender arches and then noticed the funky camber angle.
The front end must be toed out a bunch to make the alignment work, interesting designs.
French "savoir-faire" (made in France). A legendary car manufacturer !
Wow,wow,wow! Every superlative you can think of applies to this car. I can't believe you took it out in traffic, but it did go to show how small the size of the car is. Thanks Jay.
Such an awesome young man showing great respect for Jay and the love of his family.
My father was head designer for Anthony Heinsbergen who was commissioned to design both Nethercutt buildings. The grand ballroom with its tall columns was a typical design from my dad, all free-style drawn from his mind using no tools. The Nethercutt is a classy place displaying extremely classy cars. Would have been nice to maybe get a special tour when I visited a few years back with my father. Couldn’t really get anyone’s attention over there at the museum. Such as life.
Amazing car, looks like a hound dog , I guess that used to be in fashion back in the day.
What a great episode this is , the young appreciating the old and the car
What an amazing piece of automotive history! I love seeing Jay geek out on Bugattis(and Duisenbergs), it makes the best videos!
This 1931 Bugatti reminds me, even as to the color, of the Mullin Collection´s 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C -- which is _even more_ swoopy in the French style.
I never heard of that museum thanks next time I’m in LA I’m going great video Jay 👍👍
Nice to be back to the vintage cars,
One thing I miss from the COVID shows was Jay putting them up on the lift so we can see underneath.
No question that Ettore and his son Jean designed and built the most desirable cars ever put to paper and then into sculpted metal. What a thing. I had never heard of this model until this show: think it gives the Aerolithe and the Type 57 SC Atlantique a run for their money. Just Art Deco in motion: it's fabulous
When he called the car "red" I had to wipe my eyes off...like they do in the cartoons! LOL
Jay has so much "automotive" clout and he uses it to share these great vehicles with all. Thanks Jay...I love this stuff!
SPECTACULAR looking car i would love a car that looked just like it only with a regular 4 cylinder that was quiet. the way that thing bounces it must have been terrifying to drive at high speeds.
Jay any chance you could do a walk around episode or two on the Nethercutt Collection, a truely wonderful collection, I especially like their Radiator Hood Ornaments /Mascots collection.
It would take a very long time. It takes at least a day to see it all. If you are a gearhead that is.
@@dbc1dc I know,just impossible to cover the whole collection which just don't include cars,in one episode.
😂 it sounds like you're literally driving the living s*** out of the car... but you're going like 43 mph
Now that is one beautiful car. I wish we still saw designs like this. Imagine if someone designed it to modern standards and put it on sale looking pretty much just like that.
Even if it was only a small engine'd runabout it would sell any amount they could make.
I don't think it would really be the same
Morgan did a fast back about 15 years ago which was beautiful, although the front wasn't as good as the back.
@@kslayurgf It wouldn't need to be exactly the same and we have to remember you couldn't re-create the experience of this car today anyway because of all the regs.
I love this car for what it is but even if just that look was transplanted onto say a modern MX-5 platform you would have a car which is safe, efficiant, great to drive, relatively cheap and looking at it would be something really special.
Maybe do an electric version too on a BMW i3 for people that way inclined.
The aerodymnamics would be easy to get to being great, that massive hood would mean you could have a very decent sized trunk and thin, tyres would look as it should and offer very easy handling.
Just imagine if you came out to your Miata and it looked like that.
@@shaunportlock4924 Morgan do make some stunning cars.
There's some similar replica cars around. There was a Talbot Lago replica made in the mid 90's using mustang running gear, and Delahaye USA makes a modern version of the Atlantic. Neither are cheap, but they exist.
It's great to see they are all well and truly used as they were intended !!
Jay really has a great collection he is not afraid ti use .......what other excellent examples can he pull out of his garage 🤣🤣 #legend
They keep them in running condition, but does the kid get to take a car home for the weekend to impress a date?
Fun to watch! Jay is like a big kid with this thing. I like this SO MUCH MORE than the modern car reviews.
Yeah the modern car reviews do not even come close to these.
Gorgeous car. Makes you wonder why filler caps inside the car ever went out of style.
When it was a race car the fuel cap was outside. Would have thought the folks who built the body would have extended it to the exterior. Fumes may be interesting on a hot day too.
The T51 Grand Prix car has two filler necks. That would be fun with those leather seats!
Chaque pièce est une œuvre d’art sur cette automobile, la restauration a superbement été faite
140mph in this thing?!?! I couldn’t imagine doing that in my car and it’s more than capable, I could only imagine how terrifying that would be in this car!!!
They had those good leather helmets to protect their heads.
I am convinced. Jay IS THE LUCKIEST AND THE NICEST MAN IN THE WORLD God bless America . Australia loves you . and Thank you for helping us being free
My absolute favorite pre war cars. Jay's got several Bugattis. Beautiful styling over other cars of that period. Supercharger whine. Thanks Jay.❤️😎🤑😜🆒🥂
In 9 years this car will be 100 years old.
I absolutely love Jay's passion and knowledge of this Bugatti. The poor young man that's family owns it just is able to chime in with an occasional 'that's correct' or 'I believe so" lol. I really feel for him as Jay has had a lifetime of experience with these cars and I keep expecting Jay to look up after a historical tangent about the car and say 'excuse me, who are you again?" Or perhaps a "oh, you're still here?"
God I love Jay, he is truly an enthusiasts enthusiast. May you live a long, long life and exit it on your terms.
Yeah this guy sucked. No personality or ability to express thoughts and ideas. If he even had any.
No words!!!
Leonardo D'Avinci, Rafael or even Salvador Dali (if he were in a good frame of mind) would be proud to design and sign such a gorgeous Art Object.
Thank you, Jay.
And 1.000 thanks to your generous Guest.
Warm Regards,
A.
A true wow-episode! Thanks Jay and Cameron!
There is a guy who built one of these out of car from a junkyard if memory serves me correctly!
To me that would be a great story coming to the JL garage!!?
Bad Chad is his name.
After watching sooooooooo many of Jay's videos... All I can say is that I must be cool to live or work near his garage and to see him driving the amazing cars!
WHY ARE YOU SHADOWBANNED BY TH-cam?
I NEVER in over a year, have seen you show up in my feed, nor been alerted when you post a video.
WTF?!
The two of them living the life that many dream about. .Great video.
I'm always nervous when these beauties drive around Jay's Hangar!
Jay knows more than the titled rich Kid in charge -- BAH!!!!
This kids dunce. He probably thinks Jethro Tull is one of the Beverly hillbillies.
Hey give Cameron a break ! He’s young and the family trusts him. Having encyclopedic knowledge of all the Netherctt cars is asking all lot of anyone (including you) at his age. He’ll grow into it and be fine.
@@christopherstone2691 to know so little about the car he is presenting,! Like Biden without a teleprompter! Bah!!! again This wouldn't have been a spur of the moment,so like that age today unprepared..
What was the horsepower? and what was the value?
Livin' vicariously thru The Garage! 😁
This dude is part of the company and most answers are I think so... Probably sees and deals with 100's of vehicles and specs/stories etc.
Rock On
H.L.
🎶
Cameron really gets it too. You can see he's used to being around rare cars but still enjoying them.
In my opinion, early Bugattis were the most beautiful designed cars of any manufacturer.
meticulous craftsmanship
I think you will find the first twin overhead camshaft engine was a 1912 Peugeot racing car from which Miller took the idea for his engine. I would think Bugatti would have know about the Peugeot (also French) engine when he was making his beautiful cars.
Thank You Jay! It scares the hell out of me to see such a beauty and rare car on the road with all those LA drivers.
Especially the guy that does a u turn in the middle of the street right after they drive past him.
Well I was being nice I was going to say Idiots
Jay do you have to put you Finger Prints all over the Bloody polished Alloy & Stuff? You of all People Should No Better! I can never understand people that have to touch shiney stuff on cars!!
The young man has been brought up well , You can see that he understands that he is in front of somebody who knows a lot about cars and gives him due respect .
Too bad he doesn't know this car inside and out. It's hard to wake up hungry in silk pajamas.
They should have prepared him more because Jay is interested in mechanics and asks detailed questions
I just want to say as a teenager my family was in the show car scene and I met Jay at a show / auction and he is one of the most down to earth nicest people I have come across with his wealth and status. Thank you Mr. Leno the world could use more of you and thanks for showing us all things we would never have the opportunity to see or learn about. 😊
Your last few vehicles have been extremely lackluster almost like the companies are paying you. But this one👌👌
Y'all got that right, I even "disliked" the last episode which was a first for me on the Jay Leno Garage channel.
All of that sheet metal -- no computerized drafting, no committees, no focus groups. All by hand.
First
So what?!
Beautiful! Looks like the SM needs a little air in the left front ;) Dash is engine turned, but valve covers don't look turned, they look scraped, like you would do to a lathe bed.
1st
