JAY LENO CAR COLLECTION

[Professor Fate]

Does Jay Leno own any model T's?
Does anyone know if his car collection was impacted by the fires?

[big2bird]

He owns at least one, and I have heard of no fires in Burbank.

[John Codman]

Jay always says that the T is the one car in his collection that always starts.

[Erik Barrett]

Jay has a model T that he drives more than any other car in his collection.

When I bumped into Jay at the Holiday Motor Excursion, I asked him if he owned a Model T Ford. He said that he did but didn’t know what type. Maybe he was just giving me the ol’ brush off.

I think he has a ‘24-‘25 roadster. And he pays guys to have the fun of brass polishing, oil changing, tire airing, etc.

If I had his money I would too.

Yes, he has a nice 1925 roadster. Video link of him starting and driving away.

In the old forums there are several observations and mention of Jay Leno including one where he was oserved downtown bend over the engine of his Model T.

Approximately 20 years go I answered a call on my shop phone, the call saying "Hi Ron, this is Jay" Perplexed, I responded "Jay" who.
It was Jay Leno seeking four rebuilt ignition coils for his new found Model T.

I bet that was a shock! At least he got his information right on who to call! you do a great job on them.

I heard on the news today that the fires are heading in the direction of Burbank, so his collection is not totally out of the woods yet.

His garage/museum is in a hanger on an airport. I'm sure that there's not a lot of flora and fauna around it, and I think any fire department would give Jay's collection a little extra attention.

John. That is good to know. The place is 140,000 square feet of floor space and packed full of rare cars. It would be ashame for the, to be destroyed. According to the map there or two fires above and below Burbank. The Palisades fire has to go through Beverly Hill to get to Burbank and there looks to be alot of trees where Beverly Hills is.

I heard on the news that several homeless people were caught with torches starting these fires. Of course they were released. I believe the death toll has risen and is currently at 24.

Jay drove his vintage fire truck to the Eaton firefighter’s camp the other day to spend some time with the off duty firefighters.

Not so fast, now. The first wack-a-holic that was caught with a map-gas torch that was setting trash on fire and telling people that he couldn't help himself and had to do it.

The citizens apprehended him and zip tied his hands together and held him until the police arrived. While the police couldn't hold him for the torch incident due to lack of evidence, the results of a criminal background check resulted in the discovery of an outstanding felony warrant. He is still in custody. Not sure at this point what the fate is of the rest of the detainees.

We recently elected a new Los Angeles County District Attorney. This guy means business. All the catch and release B.S. that his predessor, Soros-backed George Gascon, enacted is out.

That last statement shines a ray of hope on the situation.thanks.

I believe that Jay lives in Beverly Hills. I'd be a lot more worried about his house then his car collection.
