Interesting story about a car built by a 17 year old aspiring mechanic in the 1930s - as told by Jay Leno, who now owns the car:

Very cool is right. I just forwarded that link to a bunch of car nuts I know. Thanks!

I'm a little conflicted about it. If I'm reading this correctly a guy gives Jay Leno (a multi-millionaire) a one-of-a kind 70-year old car. Jay Leno accepts it. Then he modifies it? I'm not talking about a new carburetor and fuel pump. I'm talking about putting scoops on the body and removing the fender-mounted wheels to make the car look sleeker.
And then, to top it all off, he doesn't even pay the guy a visit? Jay's been restoring/modding the guy's car for years for his own personal collection and the guy dies having never even met him?
Cool car, though.
