1941 American LaFrance Series 600 Pumper V-12 Firetruck
The truck in the photo goes to show that Jay Leno has a wide range in terms of taste. He is the proud owner of a 1941 American LaFrance Series 600 pumper V-12 firetruck. These vehicles had been in use during the forties, but city administrations eventually renovated its appearance to look more serious. The talk show host restored the 1941 vehicle to its original glory. It does not go out on calls, but he still drives it around town every now and then. He likes to drive it in parades in LA! The LaFrance 600 series was among the last series of these old, traditional trucks. It used to go for $9,100 for it, but it is now worth $161,000.

2006 Ariel Atom
If you watched Jay Leno’s Garage, you must have seen the 2006 Ariel Atom as well. It is one of the greatest track cars in history! The talk show host drove it on a track close to his house and impressed people with its performance. There was only a handful of this model ever made. The company made eight generations of it, but there was very limited production of this particular street-legal one. John Hartley designed the 3-L V8 engine. The Ariel Atom has a body made of aerofoil and carbon fiber, while Dymag magnesium was used for the wheels. Its original value was $49,980, but its value has since doubled at $100,000.
