Gigantic collection
One would need to write a book to describe Leno's entire collection. Let's start in the actual garage where a dozen craftsmen are working to restore his newest acquisitions. Then comes a succession of hangars with decorated walls and ceilings and, of course, cars after cars -- each telling a unique story (narrated by one of Leno's longtime employees).
From the electrically-powered 1909 Baker to the exceptional 2004 Porsche Carrera GT, and from a delightful, 13.5-horsepower 1937 Fiat Topolino to the incredible Tank Car, whose 1,600-horsepower, 30-liter, twin-turbo engine was borrowed from an actual M47 Patton tank, there is something for everyone and every taste!
The greatest thing is that Jay Leno doesn't hide his cars. He loves to show them and talk about them, especially the amazing stories behind some. The public is always invited for a visit, including on the Internet at www.jaylenosgarage.com. Hundreds of photos and videos await you. Have a nice tour!

| Standing in front of a 1954 Dodge Coronet Suburban powered by a V8 HEMI Red Ram is a second-generation Chevrolet Corvair -- the car that was supposed to curb the success of the Volkswagen in North America. We all know how that turned out. Yet, the rear-engined Corvair had flair with its beautiful red dress. |
