The Most Famous Duesenberg of All Time

Anyone else appreciate the fact that even though Jay Leno Doesn't have to do these videos any longer he still does? I sure do!

Thanks to Cameron and the Nethercutt Collection for making this video possible. Beautiful car!

I laughed when Jay told the guy an easier way to open the hood. Shows just how much Jay knows about so many cars.

One thing that's hard to convey in a video is just how HUGE this car is. Even by today's post-1970s standards, this Duesenberg is enormous.

One of the most stunning cars ever built!

While cleaning out my grandma's home after her death in the mid 1960's we found a steamer chest full of old photos. One of the photos was of her brother Art, who ran an extremely prosperous speak-easy in Detroit during the prohibition era. There he stood wearing a straw men's dress hat of the era, mirror-shined shoes, and a racoon coat, with his right foot on the running board of his DUESENBERG. Wow! I met him a few years later shortly before he died. He grew up in the Georgia and his favourite expression (spoken in a beautiful Georgian drawl) was, 'Son, I was a hustler.'. And indeed he was.

Here is a guy who has spent his life making us laugh, entertaining us at all levels, and never ever divides or makes us angry at each other. What gift to humanity. Other prominent people should follow 😊

Listening to Jay speak to the technical details of a car, whilst telling a story that just draws you in, it is so therapeutic. He really is the automotive David Attenborough.

100 years old and it's still beautiful. Not many things you can say that about.

Great to see you healthy and alive Jay!!!!!!!!!

Duesenbergs will always have a place in my heart. When I was about 5 years old, my cousin gave me my very first Hot Wheels die cast car, and it was the '31 Duesenberg 4 door Touring car. I've been a car guy my whole life since, and I still think the mid 20s to mid 30s was the most beautiful era of automotive art ever produced. Duesies, Auburns, Cords, Packards, Cadillacs, Pierce Arrow, Mercedes, so so many...

That's not a car, it's a work of art.

Jay needs to live forever.. his Knowledge about Life and his Stories are just unreplaceable.

Simply wow...words cannot fairly describe this amazing work of art. Thank you for the restoration, preservation, and for sharing.

I shed a tear. For Jay to organize a police escort for this car. Shows how much he cares and respects the value this car have. Respect Jay Respect!!!

I frequently comment on episodes that go beyond the norm, but for this one - being able to hear, see, and listen to such a car like this - other than this, I am speechless. So insipring to see things made by brilliant people building to the very best of their ability.

A police escort on the airport runway...what a cool place to open her up. Such an incredible piece of automotive history. Thanks Jay!

Always a great episode of JLG when Cameron shows up with one of the jewels of the Nethercutt collection. I know I speak for a lot of Leno fans when I say that we all appreciate being able to see these amazing vehicles, both stationary and being driven! Thank you very much for the show!

I practically cold sweat just imagining driving something this irreplaceable and exquisite. As always, I'm in complete awe of Jay and his ability to drive these incredible cars so calmly and competently, while also conducting a top notch interview. Well, this car is just pure awe all around. We are so lucky to see it and hear it go. Is there a bit of runout on the front passenger wheel, or am I seeing things? I feel weird to even say that on such a godly car, but I'm just curious.

One of the most beautiful automobiles I've ever seen! Thank you for bringing these over. "It made a statement as you went down the road"; I can only imagine how they felt with it going down the taxiway at Burbank!! Cameron; A HUGE thank you!
