Jay Leno is hilarious, not only on stage as we recently experienced, but also in his shop and in his cars. Why in his cars? For us, it’s because he gets such real joy out of driving them, just like we do. He barks the tires into second gear and smiles like a little girl. He stabs the gas getting onto on on ramp and the tires howl just enough to be fun before winding out 426 inches of Hemi and grabbing second gear with a definitely chirp. It’s good stuff, and he’s giddy to be doing it, just like all of us would be. That’s what rules about Jay Leno.
In this video he gives us the walk around, drive around, cruise and a bit of fun in a 1966 Dodge Hemi powered Coronet. It’s a beautiful car that speaks to us because it is so understated, which is exactly why Jay loves it so much. No scoops, no stripes, and dog dish hubcaps.
