We should all thank Jay Leno for giving us his time, and showing us how to love and enjoy car culture!

Just a quick comment on Bruce Meyer. I took a photo with him at the GNRS in Pomona a few years ago. He is a very nice, down to earth man. Bruce was patient with me as I fumbled to take the selfie of us. If you have an opportunity to hear him speak, you will experience his modesty.

I used to love The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, , , I miss it... but this is even better.

[drewflanagan]

This completely makes up for the last couple of Dodge commercials.   Cars and stories like this is why I love this channel. 

[TheAussieStig]

I can't get enough of this car. It's just beautiful. Perfect. Probably the best 32 I've ever seen.

[deucerider]

What a thrill to see a true American icon! Many thanks to Bruce, Jay, and all who helped it happen!

I HAVE THAT MAGAZINE my granddad's got a whole cabinet full of them throughout the years so he put me on his subscription. I love lookin at the old ones. Even got the very first

[DannyWalker]

W0W! What a CAR to see. MAN, I just can't believe it still exists, My dear old Dad had that copy of Hot Rod Mag. he was a major hot rodder and I used to build "Flat Heads" myself and Truly Love Em'. Thanks Jay for another Great video. Man, the Memories! 

[mikef]

Beautiful car. Exactly what I picture when I hear Hot Rod. Those brave men and women coming home from the war created the best era of car culture

[pdolph]

The sweetest sound in town is the purr of a flathead. ford. This brings back many memories. When you hit the starter on one, it sounds like almost no compression as the starter spins easily and the ford begins to purr. They had a centrifugal clutch and the pedal would move in and out when you revved the motor. And when you let the ninety horses loose, what a ride. Clyde Barrow  would always try to steal a thirty two ford if possible.

Almost all "Car Guys" have a specific manufacturer or tune that they prefer.. Jay gives us the best of all the builds. Jay is such an Icon in the classic car community. The historical knowledge compiled in these videos is priceless... So kool!

[wyattoneable]

No matter the car or motorcycle,  guest or comments below, this is one of the best YouTube channels in existence. Quality from start to finish and always a pleasure to watch what's going on in the garage.

[mikemessier]

 History lessons like this is why I enjoy Jay Leno's garage. So much going on here. Modern looking hotrod, Issue number 4 of Hotrod magazine, V spreader bar, peaked radiator cover,  lowered Z frame, three piece hood and copper heads! I had no idea such cars were built with such detail way back in the 1940's. Meeting the Post Master General and the stamp artist is fun as well. Will buy some stamps next time I visit the post office. Keep up the good work Jay & company!

A pleasure to watch this video. Such an iconic car and great to see very disparate individuals contributing. A lovely way to spend 17 minutes. Thank you Jay.

[megszalott]

This is what I love about Jay, and he's guests. The All American Hot Rod leaks a bit, but "Hey, that's what hot rodding is all about", and they fix it like it never happened, while adding a little to the history of it.

[fabianher]

Thank you so much, this is an awesome car, I love the shifter, my dad had a 62 Chevy truck with a three speed steering wheel shifter, oh the memories of driving that truck.

[CorneliusSneedley]

When Jay said Bruce had taken him under his wing when he came to town more than thirty years ago, I was expecting to see a much older man.

[jamesbond]

Dear Jay thank you so much for making these amazing videos the history lesson and the stories you tell truly inspire me there's nothing like it in the world I really appreciate your time and dedication to the automotive world there will never be another Jay Leno thank you so much

[Chuckish]

Wow! The birth of the performance car that's still going on today. Very nice. Thanks Jay. I can remember back in the 50s around here in Saint John, NB, there were a few guys who built '32s in the barns in their parent's back yard. Of course most of that is gone now and it's all townhouses. But you never know what you had until your reminded of it.

[denispeixoto]

So cool... I wish we had that hot rodding culture down here in South America. One day i will build of these. It will be a replica one, but for me, it will be like a dream. thanks for the great episode.
