Folks Of Interest Jay Leno's Garage

Jay Leno is living what a lot of us would live if the funds were unlimited. I loved the video of his 3500 Maser...

 

He sure puts a new light on gold chainers. Love this guy. Look at his roots. A mechanic i believe and it's in his blood.

 

You won't find it driving around. There's no sign or advertising, just a plain nondescript building

 

Very cool gearhead dude with a lot of outstanding rides...would love to tour his place for sure.

 

Exactly. It's VERY secure, but I don't think he necessarily wants anyone and everyone in the world camping out there ...

 

He is not a gold Chainer He is a gear head!!

 

I was there in 2010, what an experience, unfortunately no photos allowed.

 

I hope Jay has enough money to keep it going. He could probably make some money with a larger facility that has room for paying visitors to watch the work being done without disturbing it. It seems like Jay really enjoys showing Dennis Gage his cars.

 

I like that 58 if only the guy hadnt had it given to him while they were sitting around conversating over a gl*** of wine.............sorry

 

I was lucky enough to get the tour also......wow is all I can say.. and motorcycle's, double wow...so many cool cars one that stick's out in my mind was a yenko corvair, also he has a huge steam machine that if I heard rite was used in the ford plant ...as I was leaving he pulled up in some stock 50's Russian car .....he took that one home the night before, I think he lives in Beverly hills, and the museum is around Burbank airport

 

Gotta like his Egli Vincent!!!

 

I also was lucky to get a tour.

 

Your very fortunate to get a tour of his shop! Jay promotes our hobby and you can tell he likes rolling up his denim sleeves and getting his hands dirty!

One of the fellows that invited me to tag along to see the collection is a big-time automotive journalist/literature collector/historian, so it was interesting to get his perspective on the cars, too. There were a total of only four of us, so we had the joint to ourselves ...

 

When I went through there were about 18 of us and we were shown all over by his head man there.
