Jay Leno took his Garage on the road, so to speak,
when he and his film crew arrived in Monterey for Car Week this year. While up
North away from his actual garage, Leno met up with Jaguar Design Director Ian
Callum. The two chatted about the F-Type Project 7 before hopping in and taking the
limited-edition cat for a spin on local b-roads.
After spending time chatting about the Jaguar, Jay
moves on to something a bit older. This episode serves up a two-fer on the
automotive front. Leno focuses his attention on a 1916 Sturtevant Auburn. Never
heard of it? That's probably because Sturtevant only produced cars for
about two years. It came about after WWI, when surplus engines were left around
that would've normally found their way into airplanes and industrial equipment.
What do you do with an unused airplane engine? Stick it in a car and go racing!
We like Sturtevant's moxy and we wish they would've stuck
around for a few more years.
