The word hero is tossed around far too often these days, but that fine young man and his veteran father are both heroes in every single sense of the word. Bravo, and Semper Fi.
Once again, Jay you nailed it. American vets restoring an iconic classic car together. Dad and son together. A great family story. Thank you guys for your service and the freedom we have here in America.
I like that "it's a car it's meant to be driven."👍
Amen, love that as well, and I'm the same when it comes to my video game collection they are meant to be played, not to sit on a shelf in a shrink wrapped box/case, and looked at.
Same here man,build a nice driver to enjoy...that's what they are for.Spend too much money and it will never see light of day or the road and there's no fun in that.
There's value in museum pieces but also value in drivers. Not all cars put away last well either, my Grandpap had a 1960s Pontiac Grand Prix Convertible which he stored but now Uncle says it's full of mold as it was stored under tarps in a garage with a dirt floor next to a creek, hence it kept moisture IN the car. It hasn't been started for over 10 years either so who knows what to say about the gaskets and if something in the engine is seized up or not.
You can do it,It's never too late to restore a classic forget what people think a classic car should look like,they come from everywhere barns,scrap yard,if you can imagine where you'd see a classic car then it's probably there. About a classic car being too far gone,there's no such thing,anything is worth restoring if you believe there's potential.I don't care if the frame rotted completely away and its just the body that is decaying.Let me tell you,I've been to car shows over the years.Here I am standing over a perfectly restored Chevelle ss just drooling with envy.You would thought the car drove out of storage after 30 years and owned it like that since new,nope.Then I open his picture album of the restoration...I couldn't believe it...the car looked like swiss cheese,there was rust upon rust.Just about everywhere like the back dash was rotted badly.But stand back and you'd never think it was the same car.So get over the fear of rust,that's your first mistake and you will be on your way to an amazing looking car.
I'm sure it has potential, much appreciated for your encouragement! However, I was commenting on the Pontiac's current condition and I'm not scared of whatever rust it may have. Pap also had a 1941 Dodge truck which hasn't been on the road for over 40 years and it's a big project but yeah, I'd like to work on it. The frame's all solid for starters, the body not as much and it was flinging oil off the driveshaft and there's no motor oil filter but all of that can be fixed. :)
I can tell by the son's slow, halting speech, he has suffered more than meets the eye. God bless that man.
Seems unbelievable that Big Screen star Audie Murphy was the most decorated combat veteran of WWII. Think any movie star has such a pair of big brass one's now days?
@shafta99 p0742 Oo-Rah!
@@gregorytimmons4777 No. For the most part only stinking Communists are allowed to in movies. Well, Commies and you know who's.
It probably has more to do with the fact that he's talking to Jay Leno while on camera. I bumble my words a little in that scenario as well and I'm not the fanboy type.
@@infolord79 So...Mel Gibson is a stinking Commie huh?? LMFAO. Oh and by the way, Kirk Douglas fought in WW2, he was a Democrat...or in your parlance a "stinking commie".
I do love that Jay appreciates real cars from real people, that are not multi-millionaires Real daily driver
Thanks Jay. Probably one of the best episodes that I'll always remember. Two guys, father & son, bonded by two things... rebuilding a classic 57 Chevy, and serving our country.....
Thank you
It can't be more American than this, giving a second chance to a classic car, in a garage, a project that keeps Father and Son together, may God Bless you all.
Nice to see a father and son project. Missing my Dad today, we used to get together every Friday to watch Jay Leno's Garage and have lunch before he passed away last year. The memories and bonding that come from a project like this are priceless.
Sorry about your dad, but the time you spent with him was worth it.
God bless these men and their outstanding family. Semper Fi! Great car!
That's what a hero look like folks.Thanks you for your service and sacrifice.
Some say hero, others would say brainwashed. There's a very thin line between those two.
I'm English and I was even proud watching this episode. A pair or hero's
Yes, thanks for making the corporations rich in their undeclared wars by risking your life and limbs killing brown skinned people in countries which are not attaching us.
funny you call him a hero, the only thing the amercam forces do is protecting oil, so they can drive their stupid big engines in their stupid heavy cars
+James Thomas elbow from the sky, +1
This was touching. Not sure if I'm the only one who got the feels. But great video. Thank you both for your service.
No, you're not alone there. Choked me up bigtime.
I saw the thumbnail pic of what Jay had up this week and thought "meh, another ratrod Chevy" - then decided to check it out anyways.
SO glad I did. :-)
This one is why I love Jays' channel so much - with him, it's as much the story behind the cars as the cars themselves.
It's how you know he's a real "car guy".
Look how at ease he is here- he loves and admires these guys as much for who they are as what they built.
Agreed, this is the best episode to me. Thank you gentlemen for your service.
What a great show,Nice job everyone!
yeah man. this is like the second comment i've ever left on youtube. that guy was breaking my heart. i totally agree.
No, you're not the only one. I am from Spain, an IT guy, never went to the military, but it touched me a lot!! What a nice car and what nice and touching story
May not be the best car ever but this is the best car story.Thank you Aaron Richard,and Jay.
One of the BEST Jay Leno's Garage I have personally seen.
My Father is a retired Colonel in the Army so it hit me hard watching this.
Just traded work for a 1965 Studebaker cruiser and I never had such a great response to a vehicle.
passed Jay on San Fernando Blvd. yesterday afternoon, he was driving his green Hudson all cool like, haha I like how he just goes out driving his cars around Burbank. Seen him around town lot's of times...
That’s so cool!! He’s a man of the people. I’ve got much respect for Jay.
Cool car! Glad they both came back and thank's Jay for supporting us vets.
I'm in Canada, and I'm proud of those guys too, as I am for our folks who are in the services to help keep ALL of us free and safer today.
This too, is a wonderful story of how cooperation between father and son, can be a good thing and they can build this to 'advertise' what can be done.
Thanks for this video/story.
Why are you proud? They start war in so many countries, telling it's for "freedom", while all they're doing is destroy governments that don't think like them. When did Irak or Vietnam bomb the US?
Enjoy your day !
Reg Sparkes That's what I thought.
What did Vietnam do ? if you don't know, you should learn.
This video really shows what makes cars special. The people who own it, the stories behind it, the memories. Cars are special because of the emotions they evoke and the experiences they inspire for us.
Great to see a homebuilt hot rod on here. Great car and even better story. Thank you both for your service.
This is what America is all about. A father and son pair who are vets. Restored an iconic car in their garage using funds from being deployed. What a great story of Americans. beautiful. God bless them both, and jay for sharing this amazing story.
Great car, great blokes, great story. Shows a lot of heart to cop a hit like that and sign up for more.
First off , Love the show . how can there be so many dislikes . we are talking about a 57 chevy , Jay Leno , and a couple of War Vet's here . whats not to like ? Thanks Jay . Ray in Pa.
This is about as American as apple pie right here.
RayinPa U.S.A. As far as the dislikes :
Grumpy people can never really be complimentary of anything. There was nothing to dislike about this experience 👍
There are ALOT of people who dislike rich happy whites...that is why....
Two thumbs up from me
@@GB3770 but they aren't rich
Mr. Leno I want you to know I enjoy watching your videos on youtube I dont even watch TV anymore after a long day at work. You are the ultimate living encyclopedia of cars. you make learning about older classic cars exciting. I love the way you take us back on what it was like living with these cars being sold as everyday cars. ive been watching your videos since the beginning with the corvette. You make me want to move from New England and go to california.
Hope you get this message Mr Leno
I live in California and take my advice, you don't want to move here. It is a great place to visit but way too expensive to live here. If you want rust-free cars, there are lots here. Buy one and take it home. You will have enough cash to buy fuel for it. Good luck.
Yeah... the state is getting agressive against anything not "green" or politically correct. Best to come and get the stuff and go elsewhere. Cali ain't Golden any longer.
I read the gasoline in California is awful for MPG. It might have nice land but literally, if your car doesn't pass "Smog test" it's not roadworthy. There are ways to fix that though and cleaning the piston cylinders may make a difference if that's causing the issue.
California tests 1975 and later cars for emissions. Anything earlier is exempt. The standards for passing depend on year of car so not all cars have the same requirements: later model cars = very clean, older = not as clean.
OMG Jay this episode was GREAT!!!! This one's about the owners more than the car and we need more of these. I hope Aaron is retired now though, he's done his duty & service with HONOR, as did his Dad. Thanks goes to them both!!!!
The car looks good, and the fact that it was restored by hand is even better. Thank you both gentleman for your service, and God bless you both.
This is the best "Leno's Garage" Ever!
No BS.
I wouldn’t mind seeing more like this!
Im so sad,I can only focus on the 76 people who gave this a thumbs down....I just really NEED to know why....seriously man, if you're gonna dislike something like this atleast have the guts to tell us why.
The best build to date. Thank you for sharing his story and their sacrifice. As a fellow vet there are so many stories out there and this was a special one. Thanks Jay.
More of the lower dollar builds Jay. Not only are they more interesting but the stories about them are far more captivating.
great story and they took a 4 door and made it cool! On a budget...Now that is "real" hot rodding, car fixing, and restoring!
You learn more about a vehicle when you do the work yourself, then having pay someone to do it for you... As it reflects your personality. Not to mention you learn so much about engineering.
Great Stuff
I m 19 year old and I have a 135cc moped (w/ intercooler) I bought it in a really bad shape I started to repair it. You can't imagine how many stuff I ve learned about engines in general because of it.
that's how you do it. I have hated doing mechanic work. until i got a 96 Kaw 1500 that needed clutch work before i could ride it. then some how, it all became peaceful to me. and I COULD DO IT.
So your moped has a turbo?
+keesie75 Woops... radiator. One day maybe :P
There's nothing like building a vehicle. I rebuilt a couple of cars from 95-97 and it was epic.
It kills me to think that a lot of people don't truly appreciate cars or trucks the way they deserve to be treated. Cars are like people. They have a story to tell us. So people just don't care to listen. And it doesn't matter what make or model or year. Each one is special. This car in particular is a prime example of that. It survived two wildfires and 20 years of being left in a field. Most cars end that way sadly. I'm glad this one went to a good home. To someone who will love it, drive it, appreciate it. Gentlemen you two are heros in my book. Thank you for rescuing a piece of history and especially for your service to our country.
Thank you young man for your service and sacrifice. Men like you let the rest of us enjoy this country. You deserve a beautiful car like that. You and pops put a lot of time and sweat into it. Bless you!!
peace is an illusion.
if you wish for peace, prepare for war.
its called being in a different culture. dont be a bigot
You can thank the men for their service without thanking the government for the wars.
Most men and women that return to battle are ultimately returning to their brothers and sisters. One who has served would only know how strong of a bond that is.
One that makes "trolling" comments on a social media platform with a random profile is a coward. I much rather be an idiot.
+Dan Abt. Not American but served Royal Marines, and your dead right. You join for the pay check and adventure (cos your young and stupid) you stay for your "family."
It's a bond like no other, even greater than family.
At 36 and even knowing how fucked up both my government and yours is, and what we have 'achieve' in the middle east, I'd love to be 16 again and on that train to basic with bitterflies in my belly.
I hope this guy wins the lottery he deserves it
Had a 57....most of my friends had 55's......We all have stories. Best Generation.
john moore totally agree. Us 90's kids are getting shafted and it's only getting bigger
What an honor to hitchhike on an amazing adventure embarked upon by a father and son. It makes me miss my dad.
Leno doesn't typically inspire tears. But this man Aaron . Thank you Sir.
i love all of the positive comments on this truly inspiring story..these guys are real..these guys are what dad and son should be..and thank you for everybody understanding how poignant this car and story is in today's world!
What a fun project. This is what hot rods are all about. The color, the spider webs, the door locks, the dash & seats the engine. Love the look. Well done guys!
Every once in a while, Jay outdoes himself--which is a hard task. This was one of e'm. Thanks to those guys for their service to our nation, and for having the Moxie to make this great car.
As a retired veteran, I must say you two did a great job knowing all the obstacles you had to deal with over the time and deployments it took to finish it! What's more important and impressive is that you were able to start and finish it together! Those are and will be the best memories!
One of the best episodes of all time. Jay really appreciates the veterans!
Just wondering... How could someone dislike this video?
You're a disease. 4 doors were the reason you got your high performance cars and sports cars.
Terrorists or commies
kirbyswarp, four doors were the reason? Really? How so?
You' know what the worst thing about Democrats? when they bring bullshit politics into something completely unrelated.
+Yuriy Pono -- Well, I'm 66 years old and been in love with cars since I built my first model at 6 years old and I've had a lifetime of looking down on 4 door cars so pretty hard to change. When I was a kid 4 doors = family car, mom mobile, utilitarian appliance. People bought them to haul their kids around. 2 door cars on the other hand are for fun. Plus 2 door cars generally had much cleaner lines. I still cringe when I see the new "hot hatches" with 4 doors. One's grandparents drove 4 door cars and your cool uncle drove a 2 door hot rod. I didn't dislike this video but my dad owned a service station and in 1960 he came home with a 1957 Chevy 210 with a 265 bored out to 292ci, an automatic and 4 doors. Boring... So, I've had 50+ cars and only one of them had 4 doors.
This is one of the few videos on Jay Leno's Garage, that I actually smiled the entire time. Most of us can only wish we would have had this type of relationship with ourr dads. Wonderful story!
What a great family. To go back to Iraq after such an injury shows what an unselfish and patriotic individual Aaron is. He's an example of the best this country has to offer. We are all indebted to him and his fellow service members. Thank you.
Its great to see just an ordinary hot rod built by guys in their garage, the crazy expensive builds are amazing but this hits close to home and is awesome
Always nice to see a simple father and son project. Congrats to both
Guys like that make America great! Thank all the vets and active duty men and women every chance you get! Thank you all!
These veterans are amazing gentlemen and an example to Dad's and sons everywhere.
Thank you for your service and courage.
Superb car too.
Jay Leno's Garage is just amazing!
This is what i like,original engine,some upgrades,front disc brakes,nothing crazy.
Wonderful story! Dad and son build a classic together and it's beautiful inside and out! And what really got me aside from the Vet connection they share, it's obvious these guys are full of joy and appreciation for their lives! This was one of the most entertaining episodes of JLG. The three of them had great chemistry!
This was one of the best episodes simply for the fact of the story, it was very touching. I really wish that I could've been able to do something like this with my father. When him and my mom met he had a 57 Bel Air 2 door 4 speed and he loved it. My mom was into drag racing and her and my dad used to drag race the Bel Air against my grandmother's Ford stationwagon with a huge engine. My mom had a 69 Roadrunner in Plum Crazy with the 426 Hemi and the Hurst 4 speed and a 70 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland and a 4 speed, both cars I really wished she would've kept...they're both your age Jay, and you would love my mom. God bless our troops!
These stories of great Americans like this always get to me. Thank you for sharing Jay. God bless. What would we do without fine brave American military men like this? Incredible bravery and honor.
Thank you both for your service. I enjoyed the story! This is why I'm proud to be a car guy, family first.
This may be the best episode I have seen, because of the story of these two guys. As a father with boys, they have inspired me. Kudos Jay for doing this. The story made this story, and the fact it is an everyday guy car. Fantastic.
The '57 Chevy was THE car in my high school.
The story just adds to its value.
My son(Army Scout ) and daughter (Intel) both served in Afghanistan and I can truly say they are the best citizens.
The bond between a father and son can be the best thing ever, we do it on dirt bikes.
Thanks guys for the inspiring
story.
That was probably one of the best episodes ever, nice father and son story....jealous yes I am....
Semper Fi to both Father and Son! TY for your service, your love of country, and your love of family. Ignore the haters on this site, it`s sad because they`ll never understand. The only thing they serve is themselves, which is a small service to be in. This is a great car, now shown on the greatest car show on the tube! Jay loves your work, and that counts for tons in the car business. What a keepsake this meeting will be in the future! Way to go guys! (3-1 Marines, NightStalkers 68-70 Vietnam)
Great father and son story. I love the fact that they were able to bring this car to completion from "field find" to driver and enjoy the process and the finished project together. They seem like a couple of great guys!
What a great story. Two generations of American heroes, one American icon of a car, and a truly heartwarming story of service, sacrifice, and solid American family values. Thanks for your service, guys, and thanks, Jay, for bringing this wonderful story to us here.
Great father and son relationship! Really good story to this car.... And respect to both for fighting for they're country...
This is one of my favorite episodes. I love the car but the story behind it is so inspiring. Thanks for doing it.
I highly respect Jay for being able to return to the true roots of car restoration. It does not take the big bucks to nurse a car back to daily use.
The last time I was this early, Jay was still hosting the tonight show.
Thanks for your service guys Semper Fi son, I lost friends in Viet Nam. My Dad was a Vet of Korea. All this We will Defend!
Not my tastes but a good story. This is the best site, period, for the eclectic psychosis known as the car hobby. Keep up the great work, Jay.
By far my favorite episode. These men are not only heroes, but true gentlemen. They are why America is so great. Not to mention this awesome car!
A beautiful father son relationship, God bless.
best car programming on the web!! Being both a mechanic and collision guy I would like to see more of the cars you do in process..Thanks for being a real car guy Jay..
Thank you for your heroism. And I normally don't like 4 door cars but you guys nailed this one. And again, thank you. You are much appreciated.
Restoring an auto is a labor of love, but it's not just about the car, it's the story behind it. This was a great story about two American hero's and a great American classic!! Thanks Jay!!
This story is truly what the car culture is about family getting together and building life long memories
Thank you for your service gentleman! and beautiful car!
Richard and Aaron / Thank-you you both for your service. 🇺🇸 Wow - Excellent ride from your garage. Very Cool.
• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
A real american hot rod story!..This is how it all started. This is how the hobby will continue ....generation to generation..Keep these inspiring stories coming, Jay!!!!!
The perfect cruiser car, ticks all my boxes
Fantastic story! Great build gentlemen!
That is one of General Motors greatest achievements
A classic car, a classic tale of father and son bringing an old car back to life, and a classic guy bring it to all of us! Thanks for sharing a timeless story.
Thank both of you for your service. My heros are my dad, warriers, and firefighters. Dad was a Chief Pharmacist Mate and, among other things, was on the first wave of the invasion of Guadalcanal. I am a Vietnam vet and a retired 18 year firefighter, half wildfire, half structure. I think wildfire is more dangerous. My hotshot crew was burned over once by a wildfire (the shelters do work) and we lost 12 friends on another hotshot crew a few years earlier. Now about cars. I bought my first car during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school for $175. It was a 1956 Chevy convertable. The only modification was a Hurst shifter on the floor. I installed a Bermuda bell and a wolf whistle. What I didn't like was the six under the hood and a torn rag top and no rear window. One day in August it rained and Dad and I spent most of the afternoon bailing out the area where the top goes when it is down, and the rest of the car. He loaned me the money for a new rag top the next day. While I did street race it, no one knew I only had a 6. The most fun was crusing Colorado Blvd in Pasadena and having a Chinese fire drill at each red light. My second car was a 1957 Chevy 210 with a 283 V-8. I bought it for $400 after high school in 1966. It had the same noise makers as the 1956 and was bright orange. I finally had a V-8 but it only got 10 miles per quart of oil. I delievered a car paper route in Sierra Madre with that car. I needed to drop some papers off at a store so I parked my car in the lot across the street, set my emergency brake, put the trans in park, and walked to the store. Neither the brake nor park held and the car chased me going backward toward the store. The driver's door flew open and caught a telephone pole and bent up against a front fender. I pushed the door back to where it was supposed to be and entered the car from the passenger car from then on. I sure wish I had those two cars now. Sorry for the long post. Every old car has a story or two and you deserved to hear them. I currently have a silver 1999 Cadillac Sedan de Ville d'Elegance with only 78,000 miles.
I'm sure they both appreciated the "Is this the best car in the world? No" comment Jay. In my view this car is right up there with the best cars in the world because of the story behind it, never mind that I'm a Ford fan that car and it's builders are 1st class!
There is no best car in the world just amongst the best car's in the world ! Great story Thank God for people that builds these cars because they don't do it for the money it's for the love !
Great car, I figured something was up when I saw something as common as a '57 Chevy....when I saw it was a 4 door I knew there had to be a story. I can tell he still has symptoms from his "traumatic brain injury"...and then he went back! Impressive.
one of the best i've seen on the site. Built by and and owned by a USMC vet. great job!!
Semper Fi brother
This is what REAL hot rodding is about, and Jay Leno know it! Thanks Jay!
My favorite guests of Jays of all time!
grate to see Father & Son car guys. I did the same thing when I came home from the service back in 1970. I found A 1958 corvette race car in the Sun times not far from my house. good thing to. because it barely ran. LOL. But it was the best thing I could have done. Because instead of going out and getting in trouble I was working on the Vet. I still got into trouble ,but maybe not as much.
I think this is great, a father and son doing a project like this together and both war veterns. That is American spirit and love. They put together a nice car too, one ment to be driven and not a trailer queen.
Graduated HS in '66. These were the goto projects for Chevie guys. My cousin built two in a row, one a FI 327 4-speed. These guys have done great. Love to see respect for the 4-door. Very cool, and hats off big time on the project. And so many thanks for their service :)
Father/Son project. great stuff. Nice car.
Amazing guys, so cool....what a story and Badass car.
Cheers from Denmark.
Of all the cars over so many years Jay, this is my pick. I had to come back quite some way to find it again. So tastefully and honestly brought back to life, and then worked every day since then. Very down to earth and classy; absolutely wonderful and a true labour of love, on a shoe string budget. No spray booth, spray cans but a perfect job. A practical lovely car and a true icon of your country. - Not as wonderful though as these two very decent gentle men, a father and son backing each other with respect and care, and proper love. As you would say Jay, "very well done, very well done indeed". I'll bet there's a heap of people who would be more than interested to know how this car is now in 2019, and more to the point how these two blokes, real proper men, are doing themselves and if any help need be offered them.
As a veteran myself, I couldn't control the tears. Awesome Video.
this car looks like an everyday driver you see in Havana Cuba.
Awesome car guys!! Thanks for your service also!! I had a 56 four door back in the early 90's with the original 265 V8 and 2 speed tranny, very cool car! I'm glad Jay brought up the windshield wipers, the old original vacuum powered wipers were such junk! lol. Thank god for rainex!! lol.
Finally a car worthy of me watching.
Thanks to both Veterans for your service and thank you Jay for sharing their car and story with us. Pride in America! Chuck in Kansas
Blood sweat n beers, a honest passionate build.
I dream about seeing that wonderful collection of art Jay is so blessed to take care of.
Beautiful 57 you guy’s, can’t believe what you started with, great job and thank you both for your patriotism and service
what a great story, it was joy to watch this episode
