1989 Bentley Turbo RT

The Big Dog Garage is also the home of this 1989 Bentley Turbo R. The automaker produced 7,320 of them from 1985 to 1997. In the two years after that, Bentley only made 252 RT versions. The Bentley Turbo R has a lot of similarities with the Mulsanne Turbo, although it offers a smoother ride. Suspension changes also made it more performance-oriented. Mike Dunn, upon his appointment as the new engineering director, is responsible for these changes. He also upped the roll stiffness demand by 40%, which worked wonders for the company even though some employees did not support it. This car used to be worth $149,500. Sadly, its value has since gone down to $20,000.

1957 Buick Roadmaster

Jay Leno acquired the 1957 Buick Roadmaster in 2015. Normally, he tries to bring classic cars back to their former glory by switching out parts and replacing them with better pieces of machinery. However, he decided not to change anything about this one. According to the talk show host, he did not want to replace the 364 cc engine that can put out 300 hp. The car came with a Dynaflow transmission that had a ”bad reputation,” he said. However, he could not shake the feeling that it lent the car a “smoother ride.” This is a huge model that made history for having the largest wheelbase in the Buick lineup back then. It used to be worth $4,680, but its value has since increased to $14,000.
