    I feel like I just went for a ride in a beautiful old car with a friend.....looking at the comments seems like there are many others who feel the same. I hope you're still doing this at 90 Jay....stay well!

    Jay, I know I speak for a lot of your fans when I say: Thank you for going to all the trouble to post a video when you're flying solo like this. We all look forward to your video each week (especially classics like this one!), and we appreciate what you do!
  • I am 74 years old and I also love those large land Yachts. There is nothing as comfortable on the road. I wish they still made them today.
  • @zincorbie
    Please don’t apologize for the lockdown shows. This is one of my favorite episodes. Great.
  • @RossRossiter
    My favourite category, Jay doing one of his own cars which is original and unrestored.

    When I was a boy in the 1950s we would almost every year visit Pennsylvania where the family roots are. I had an uncle in a small coal mining town who, like almost everyone there, came from a poor coal mining family. It's all there was back then. He would live real frugal all year and save up his money. Then each fall he would buy the latest top of the line car, but he never drove them anywhere. He would keep it in the garage all week and on Sunday morning's pull it out into the driveway. There, he would wash & polish it, then sit on the porch all day and look at it. Once he was sure all of the neighbors had seen it, late afternoon he would put it back in the garage and close the door 'til the following Sunday. I remember his '57 imperial which replaced the previous Packard. He faithfully followed this routine until the day he passed away. Jay, thanks again for keeping rolling history alive and all the memories it brings.

    Watching and listening to Mr Leno makes me miss my dad. Thank you
  • @azgman6439
    No need to apologize about anything Jay. Your efforts are most appreciated!

    I built the plastic model of the Imperial as a kid. The spare tire 'bump' always fascinated me.
  • I have to believe Jay put the camera on its tripod, left it unattended, and moved it around several times to get the drive by shots. That's a lot of work, stopping the car, repositioning the camera for a different shot, and repeat several times, all for us! Thanks Jay!
  • @MarkInArizona
    "The hardest working guy in show business" is still doing it for his Youtube channel fans. Thank you Jay!
  • @gregmuon
    Jay still paying his guys through this crazy time. I knew he was a stand up guy.

    I,m 73 and always remember that my Sunday School teacher had one of these, and during the Christmas Holiday, she would load the whole class in her car and we would go caroling, and especially at the end, she would drop us off at our own homes, and take each one to the trunk of it and give us a box of chocolates. Thanks for the memory, and your dedication to so many of these American treasures.
  • Fabulous car in a gorgeous colour. No-one made anything like this anywhere else in the world. This was when American engineering and style was unsurpassed by anyone.
  • @iix23
    The upside of all this is that Jay is digging in his personal collection :D
  • @wayne8276
    Jay's passion really shines through when he's talking about Cars and motorcycles . And since he has decades of experience with his standup comedy performing in front of live audiences across the country . His delivery is calm , on point , and is like listening to a good friend. No script needed . Smooth Mr Leno . 😎 That's one cool car . It's huge .
  • @maconp1119
    I go back to these videos because they’re BETTER! No interviews no bs, just Jay and a very cool car!
