The entertainer is lucky enough to own one of just 167 White Steam cars in existence. Built-in 1910 by Thomas H. White’s manufacturing company in Ohio, the car is powered by kerosene, burned in a two-cylinder engine that gets up to 40 hp.
Before the company started producing steam cars around the turn of the century, they were in the business of building sewing machines. It may not be very quick, as it can only travel up to around 50 mph, but it’s a piece of history that’s interesting to have as a part of a massive car collection.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
Leno’s 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is the only one of its kind built by the Original Venice Crew, which consists of Ted Sutton, Peter Brock, Jim Marietta, and Randy Richardson.
Jim Marietta was 71 years old when he came up with the idea for the vehicle, which comes equipped with a 289 cubic-inch V8 engine that puts out 440 hp. Initially, it only put out 306 hp but has since been upgraded. It’s operated by a four-speed side loader transmission and includes a four-barrel Holley carburetor.
Chevy Volt
If you’re looking for a car that’s good on gas mileage, look no further than the 2011 Chevy Volt. After the entertainer purchased it brand new that year, he put 11,000 miles on it without filling up the gas tank a single time.
Of course, the electric car only allows you to travel about 35 miles when it’s fully charged. It’s been figured that the vehicle gets an impressive 93 MPG when you’re running it on its battery, and 37 MPG if you’re using gas.
Volga GAZ-21
Also referred to as the “Soviet Sedan,” the cars were built in 1966 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, located over 200 miles away from Moscow. Since public transportation was the most popular form of traveling at the time, and what was made a priority by the government, private cars to come from the country around that time were somewhat dull, but they got the job done.
If you acquired the Volga in Russia during those days, it was a sign that you had made it. The car has a 2.45-liter engine that gets up to 75 hp and about 19 miles to the gallon.
Tesla Model S
The entertainer was pretty skeptical of electric cars when they first came out, but after driving (and buying) several of them, he was convinced. Elon Musk himself appeared in Jay’s garage with the 2012 Model S to show off his work and take it for a test drive.
The car hits 0 to 60 in just 4.4 seconds, and Leno liked the feeling of burning rubber in the sleek ride. It is also the first battery/electric vehicle designed more like a sedan, to appeal to those who otherwise may not have considered going electric.
