Leno’s collection has nearly 100 cars, trucks or motorcycles. His collection includes a Stanley Steamer, a Baker Electric and a McLaren F1. There’s also a Mercedes-Benz SLR, and his favorite – the Duesenberg SJ, a hulking road car from the 1930s that was decades ahead of its time. A two-man team maintains the fleet in tip-top shape, so that regardless of what Jay wants to drive to NBC Studios in Burbank, CA., the car is road ready.
Of his collection, our favorite is his Buick Roadmaster, which looks stock on the outside but contains a 620-horsepower GM crate motor, Corvette suspension, and other modern tweaks.
Leno bought the first 2005 Ford GT sports car sold in the state of California, and it was delivered to the NBC Studios on Monday, August 16, 2004. Jay’s red-and-white GT is the second car delivered to a private buyer: the first was auctioned at a fund-raiser to retired Microsoft executive Jon Shirley.
