This Week's Classic Car History Highlight - The Tatra by Jay Leno

We have a special guest presenting this week’s Classic Car History Highlight – Jay Leno. He’s the comedian turned talk show host of the Tonight Show to most folks, but to the car enthusiast, he’s the collector car fanatic we would all like to be...if we had the finances.

Jay Leno is also the owner of "Big Dog Garage" in Southern California. It houses one of the world's best equipped garages, custom built to take car of his car collection that spans 100 years of automotive history - Stanley Steamers to Duesenbergs to McLarens.

If you’ve seen any of Jay videos on his website, Jay Leno’s Garage, you’ll know that he’s an articulate historian of his automobiles. He puts the same kind of human interest element in describing each marque that we find fascinating, and try to pass on to you in our Classic Car Highlights.

Below is Jay Leno’s most recent video featuring Czechoslovakia’s secret weapon, the Tatra T87. It’s the very first streamlined, air-cooled, rear-engine car, and the prized Czech member of Jay’s garage.
