The 1957 Buick Roadmaster includes an interesting feature that allows you to set a certain speed on the dashboard, and once you hit it, a sound will alert you. One of the significant differences between this car and most of the others in Leno’s collection is it is a 100% original car, which he points out in an episode of his show.
The others have been restored and modernized with different parts and features, but not this baby! He even has one of the original 1950’s ads up on the wall in his garage that he had cartoons of himself and his wife added to.
Aston Martin DBS
The comedian may love his 2009 DBS from the iconic racing brand, but it’s a lot more common than you may think. Sure, the 2-door coupe with a 6.0-liter V-12 engine costs around $270,000, but there were also 3,400 produced, so it isn’t a rare vehicle.
Terry Crews showed up on an episode of Jay Leno’s garage to take the vehicle out for a spin, which showed how beautiful (and fast) it handles on the road. Aston Martin likes to say that the DBS “bridges the gap between road and track.”
Bentley Turbo R
The luxury car brand produced this beautiful 1989 model from 1985-1999. Motor Trend magazine called it the “first in decades deserving of the famous name.” With a smooth ride and subtle suspension changes, it’s been compared to performing like a better-controlled version of a Mulsanne Turbo.
In fact, the two were sold alongside one another for a short time until the Mulsanne was pulled from production the same year the Turbo R appeared on the market.
Chevy Nomad
The Chevy Nomad appeared on the scene in 1955, after the prototype generated a buzz. The car’s been called the “prettiest station wagon ever made,” which is perhaps one reason Leno felt the need to add it to his collection. However, he made a lot of changes to his model, including widening the grille.
Some authorities have said that the Nomad was “hastily” put out, and some of the features were less-than-desirable. For instance, the two passenger doors (which is one of the changes the entertainer made) and the slanting tailgate.
Bentley Twin Turbo
Leno could have an entire garage dedicated solely to his Bentleys, which include this 1924 Twin Turbo. Perhaps one of the best in the collection, it sports an 8.0 liter (with a 3-liter chassis,) 400+ horsepower engine.
Driving one of these has been compared to piloting a WWII fighter aircraft, which seems to be a running theme throughout the cars in his garage. The car was so speedy that it could win first place in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924!
