Jay Leno's First Love | Behind the Scenes

Gotta love Jays passion for cars..and I love his attitude towards his own obsession 👍👍❤️❤️

This is what happens when you combine life long passion with nearly limitless resources.

That Buick makes me cry...thanks for saving them....

When I was around 5yrs old (1960) my Mom and Dad both had their own 53' Buick's. My brother and I had a ball in those cars, our Mom would leave us in the car when she went shopping, you could turn the ignition switch and the car would crawl but the engine couldn't start. Our Mom would come out and we would be at the other end of the parking lot. Every time I see Jay's car it reminds me of those days. I like the restoration mods he did to this one, really nice.

Cool seeing Jay nearly 20 years back.........thanks for oldie!

1955 Buick Roadmaster one of the most beautiful cars ever built. My mom's cousin had this exact model back in the day. It was charcoal Grey with a white top and red wheel rims. Jay's videos are always first class and I love all the history he gives.

I like the fact that. Jay takes many pieces of his collection and drives them around regularly….

Never ceases to amaze me how humble and knowledgeable Jay is. Badass Buick, gotta love the restomods, saving bits of history while making it better. 👍✌️

Jay made a great call in keeping the car from his early days in Hollywood and giving it a well deserved makeover. Many respects to him for that.

This is the epitome of examples of when someone loves and appreciates cars, and is able to preserve them as they should be, as they were things of beauty, Beautiful car and it was when Buick was Buick, you would of expected a Drs or Lawyers to be driving this back in day to the Country Club, thanks Jay for the view..

OMG JAY!! We took our '55 Buick RM to Japan '59-63 and I learned to drive in her and then Dad sold her in San Francisco '69-70. She was given a 2nd paint job by Dad, from original maroon to black and white, but kept with original maroon interior and had plastic set covers. I was so sad. I would have kept her, but he didn't tell me. He was sad later. PPJ 901! I see you have original plate that looked just like ours! Beautiful beautiful restoration! Wish I could find her. Hugs...

What's great about Jay is that he is truly a patron of this craft, he supports countless best in the industry artisans, keeping the craft alive. Many people are indebted to his generosity. Hats off to Jay👍

Jay Leno for President and Dennis for Vice President!

What an elegant MONSTER of a car. The sleeper of all sleepers, plus you can bring the whole family.

Too many extremely rich men in the world have no imagination on how to enjoy all that money. You have to love Jay for his great contribution to the automotive world.

Beautiful car. Jay does things so right. He's got excellent craftsmen working on his projects.

THIS GUY HAS STAYED SO HUMBLE OVER THE YEARS AND HE'S THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE GUY ON THE PLANET...........

Since you Jay and I are the same age the memories of these cars go back to our childhood. One of my teachers back in the day bought one of these great Buicks, and I used to watch her drive in the schoolyard. That little gold emblem just under the wind wings signified the top-of-the-line Roadmaster. The Buick had so many similar body lines shared with the Cadillac in those days. Restoring the interior so tastefully with its couch-like upholstery and stunning brightwork, both inside and out must have cost a fortune. How wonderful it must be to have the means to restore them back to their original luster. What that car would cost into days' dollars even in its stock form would be unimaginable. I have so many favorites in your collection, but this gorgeous Buick is right at the top of the list. It's heartbreaking to see what today's cars have devolved into from a point of style and interior..... appointments. No chrome and everything is replaced with plastic. Thank God for Jay who has been blessed with the means and hindsight as well as foresight to preserve and share with us these legendary works of American automotive works of art, and share them with all of us. Jay, you ARE the MAN!!!

Absolute work of art

And Jay does it right, his classic cars all look like the cars that anyone born in the 50s remembers
