  • @tavarish
    Every car Jay owns is worth more because he owns it. It's the exact opposite of what happens to cars I own.
  • @zachg9065
    Jay is one of the best collectors in my mind because he is a true enthusiast that cares about the history and drives them. He doesn't just buy to let them sit and collect dust.
  • @mtfan
    I truly hope Jay gets/gives the opportunity to share some of his stories here on the channel someday. He could probably fuel the channel's content for a full year alone! He truly is THE car guy.
  • @joeinmi8671
    I think people forget that Jay and his garage literally write the book on some of these ultra rare restorations. His collection is truly priceless. I'd love to see a Jay and vinwiki collaboration.
  • @rmp5s
    God...6 Doozy's...he's such a legend. Jay is a true automotive treasure. He doesn't just collect cars...he collects, maintains, preserves and DRIVES them. He is VERY high on my "if you could have a beer with anyone" list.
  • @ExUSSailor
    What makes Jay's collection so special, is that he DRIVES them all.
  • @jestucker2268
    Jay's collection is priceless... it is automotive history and it covers the full history of the creation of the automobile... and he collects the books, the advertising, everything related to his passion. There are also rumors that the collection is set to be a museum if/when he ever passes and he's set up a fund for maintenance in a trust.
  • @skunkworks9-3
    This one would have best been served as an hour+ long episode. I think almost everyone would love to know the cooler cars and some of the more rare/unique cars. 185 cars and they aren't Chevy cavaliers and Ford Taurus etc.
  • Jay is the smartest guy in Hollywood.His collection will live forever,so generations can enjoy them.Priceless collection,and a priceless human being.Hope you live to 120 Jay.
  • @xa1a
    The variety within his collection shows off his passion for anything with a motor. He is truly a proper collector!
  • @dphotos007
    I photographed Jay for a magazine cover about 10 years ago and I spent the whole day at his Burbank hanger facility. He was a very nice man and I got a tour of all the cars and the repair shop. I drove my 1967 Triumph TR4A IRS to the shoot to show Jay I was a car guy too. My assistant drove my SUV with all the equipment. That was a real fun day. I was happy to see he is doing good after his recent accident in his repair shop.
  • I wouldn't classify Jay as a "collector", but rather a automotive historian with his own personal museum.
  • @phillippi2
    Jay has actually talked about his not owning any Ferrari's. Basically, it's because of how they treat their customers. He specifically noted them suing an aftermarket dealer because they offered custom paint jobs. Ferrari considers all cars their own property, even if the customer has paid the car off.
  • One of the defining factors of Jay Leno's cars has got to be the METICULOUS care and overall maintenance that each car gets, as well as the stories behind them all. I'd def pay a premium for any of his cars just knowing your getting a TOTALLY sorted vehicle... plus you'd get to meet Jay Leno. EDIT: I wish we could see the list of cars.
  • So much fun on this one! These are my kind of cars! What a collection and what a car guy. I could spend the rest of my life just driving his cars.
  • @natielou143
    Thank You John Ficarra the Corvair pick! My dad specialized in Corvairs at Miller Chevy in Grand Haven, MI. He tells a story of racing a Corvette from Muskegon to Grand Haven. The Corvette beat him at the start, but once that 66’ Corsa got up to speed he blew right past the Vette.
  • @phil4986
    The beauty of Jay Leno's collection is that he bought every car to save it and then to share it with the world. Over many decades, many great people have joined Jay in keeping these cars alive. I'm just glad we still have Jay here to show us how great all these vehicles are. The collection may be worth one hundred million but Jay is priceless.
