Jay Leno's 1957 Cadillac Coupe de Ville - Jay Leno's Garage

I am 81 years old, now. In 1957 I thought the ‘57 Caddi was the most beautiful car in the world - still is.

Much prefer these vids with Jay’s own cars than new car reviews

This is exactly what it’s supposed to look like. Not a stupid rat rod. Not some butchered restomod. Somewhat modern mechanics. And drive it. That blue is awesome. This is done with class. Great job Jay.

Leno has transitioned from comedian to cultural anthropologist. His love for cars, their history, and their place in our own lives over time, constitute a remarkable contribution to understanding American culture. He's not just a rich guy with a ton of amazing cars, he is a curator. Something tells me that his collection will morph into the world's greatest car museum upon his eventual passing. Thank you to Mr. Edmunds for recognizing this - and for his service to our country.

This are my favorite kind of videos...when Mr. Jay Leno talks about his own cars and their history. Makes me feel so happy and grateful that a person like him exists. Thank you Mr. Jay Leno for your passion and for sharing it with all of us.

This is the reason why we love Jay Leno's Garage, These antique and classic cars that we can't find anywhere in YOUTUBE

I love this episode. Jay all by himself talking about his car and cars in general. No sales pitch. No owner with an ego. Just Jay talking. Love it. Thank you, Jay.

"Probably 20 grand in chrome but I don't care, I'll never sell it." We need more of this in the car world. Less worry about resale value and more carefree enjoyment.

That Ferrari blue with the two-tone blue interior is absolutely perfect.

I was born in Germany one year before this car was build. Grew up poor (but happy) and always admired American cars and read about them whenever I had the chance. Married my wife from Arkansas in 1994 and immigrated to the US in ‘96. Watching Mr.Leon’s shows for years and certainly enjoying cars from the 50’s the most. He is right, the cars in Germany were tiny in all aspects compared to the US cars. My Dad finally had enough money to buy a VW Beetle in 1972. We were in heaven !!!! My Dad was 18 when the Nazi’s send him to war in Russia.He barely spoke about it. But, one day he said “if it wouldn’t be for the Americans you would be standing guard in Russia today”. Since I live here every time I see a WWII veteran I remember what my Dad said and thank the veteran fit freeing Germany from the evil. So, if any veterans view this “Thank you for your service !!!!”

Somebody tell Jay thanks for sharing it. Whenever my girlfriend hears Jay on the video she comes and watches too!! She says Jay is a treasure that we all hope to keep as long as we can.

Jay is one of the few "Hollywood" folks who genuinely mean it when he honors the old veterans. Not some sort of phony stuff like so many we hear today. Thanks, Jay.

As much as I appreciate special guests and outside cars, I really prefer when Jay shows us one of his own cars and gives us his wonderful personal stories. Thanks for sharing this with us, Jay!

Love fact that most of Jay's vehicles have a story. He's not buying to make money but to preserve. Fantastic SOOOOOO much appreciated

Great to see a deceased veteran's car featured on Memorial day. Thank you Jay.

"Cadillac's are the Rolls Royce of automobiles", what a great line, thanks Jay!

Ha haha! 'Its so big you had to slide over to punch your passenger in the face..' Bless you Jay, your sense of humor is pure gold...

Every time Jays does one of these alone my wife and I sit down together and enjoy. She is a car nut like me which is so cool. My family is a Caddy family from way back. I had four uncles with Caddy's, two 1960’s, one was the Eldorado, and two 1959's. We used to take trips from LA to Bakersfield in the summer and it would be like nine people in the car, ac would freeze you in the middle of summer and these were coupes. I remember one trip, I was in the back bench seat with seemed like with an entire baseball team, all family, and I had fallen asleep, my uncle had put cherry bomb glass pack mufflers on his, dual exhaust, well, I woke to move around or something and I remember looking over his shoulder which seemed to be 5 feet away, and the speedo needle was past the 120 mark, just stuck, no vibration, smooth ride, just beautiful. That V8 just rumbling along. I deeply miss those days. I am retired now, military, and civilian. Thanks Jay, every time.

The world loves Jay Leno. Can't get enough of him and his cars. His demeanor is captivating. Not a worry in the world, just restoring American iron and enjoying every minute of it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jay, many years ago. I had just finihed restoring a 69 El Camino, California edition. Chevy did'nt make many of them. Just a Malibu with some minor appearance goodies. He came up to me, and asked a lot of questions about it. We talked for a half hour or so. This guy is so genuine, and curious about...any car, no matter what it is. Great guy, and a virtual encyclopedia of car knowledge. Thanks, Jay!!
