Jay Leno Takes an Oldsmobile 442 From a Museum to Memory Lane

Naturally, compared to their modern counterparts, classic muscle cars aren’t quite as fast. But the appeal of vintage cars is about more than just outright speed. It’s why Jay Leno enjoys driving both his ’02 Pontiac Firebird and his 1979 Trans Am. And it’s why he enjoyed being behind the wheel of a museum-loaned 1966 …

Set Sail With Jay Leno Aboard His Antique 1916 Land Yacht

Cars and sailing don’t really mix—with a few notable exceptions. One is if you’re talking about something like the Amphicar. And another is the luxury cars that float and waft down the road, aka the land yachts. But while some automakers may dabble in aquatic activities, their cars usually only have a hint of nautical …

Jay Leno Gives the 2020 Lotus Evora GT a Fond Farewell

Now that it’s going electric, Lotus is waving goodbye to its current crop of sports cars. Which in the US, amounts to its one and only model: the Lotus Evora GT. But before it leaves, Jay Leno wanted to give it a proper send-off. One that shows what exactly the 2020 Lotus Evora GT is …

For Jay Leno, the Hudson Hornet Really Is Fabulous

Usually, the phrase ‘celebrity cars’ refers to the cars celebrities own. But a few cars are stars in their own right—and not just the ones in Fast and Furious. There’s Herbie the Love Bug and James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5, just for starters. And recently, Jay Leno took a look at the real version of …

Jay Leno Takes a Lancia Stratos HF Rally Legend for a Spin

While its future under Stellantis is uncertain, Lancia has an incredible heritage, especially when it comes to rallying. The Delta Integrale, for example, still holds the record for the most WRC wins in a row. And the 037 was the last rear-wheel-drive car to beat the AWD Audi Quattro. Then there’s the subject of Jay …

Jay Leno’s Rotary 1975 Suzuki RE5 Is Smooth but Unsuccessful

While the return of the rotary to Mazda’s US lineup is great news for the engine’s fans, it’s worth pointing out that it’s not the only automaker to use it. And cars aren’t the only motor vehicles to feature the ‘spinning Dorito.’ A small handful of motorcycles used rotary engines in the past. And recently, …

Jay Leno’s 1931 Bentley Mulliner Sedan Is 8 Liters of Class

As luxurious as its modern models are, for some Bentley’s classic models are among its most impressive. The Blower Bentley, for example, is such an icon that the British automaker is making some brand-new continuation versions. But it’s not the subject of Jay Leno’s recent video. Instead, Leno presents what he claims many consider to …

Jay Leno Ferrets Out an Armored Scout Car’s Secrets

Modern technology means that armored cars can be more discrete than their forebears. Discretion, though, goes out the window when you’re talking about ex-military vehicles, especially vintage ones. The subject of Jay Leno’s latest video, a 1959 Daimler Ferret armored scout car, is just such an example. But the armor plating is just the tip …

Jay Leno’s Bristol 403 Is “the Most British of British Cars”

In-period exclusivity often turns to modern obscurity when it comes to classic luxury cars. While the Citroen DS is fairly well-known, for example, not many remember Facel Vega’s well-appointed wheels. It’s a similar story for premium British marques. Jaguar, Aston Martin, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce are all prominent names. But the lesser-known subject of Jay Leno’s …

The simple designs of classic cars are part of their appeal. But all too often these cars are priced out of reach for people who don’t have the resources of someone like, well, Jay Leno. However, there are still bargains out there, and enthusiasts always find a way. The star of Jay Leno’s latest video, …

For Jay Leno, This Pontiac Trans Am Is a Real Taste of 1979

Given that you can now get a 797-hp sedan, today is arguably a second heyday for muscle cars. And thanks to modern engineering, the four-cylinder models can blitz past their classic predecessors. But not every model survived the march of time. One of the most prominent examples is the Bandit’s and the Hoff’s chariot of …
