In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we dive into the restoration of a remarkable 1925 Doble steam car. This beauty had been left neglected in a dusty corner of the garage for five long years, but the team was determined to bring it back to life. Facing a myriad of challenges, from rebuilding pistons to treating the leather interior, they spared no effort in reviving this mechanical marvel.
One of the standout moments was the custom metalwork required for the throttle, which took them all the way to Czechoslovakia in search of the right stainless steel. The team's dedication to preserving the car's original design and function was truly commendable. From polishing metal parts to addressing steam leaks and explosive ignitions, they tackled each issue with precision and expertise.
The intricate engineering of the Doble steam car was on full display, showcasing the genius of its creator. The power of steam, with its unique push-pull mechanism, was a key feature that set this vintage vehicle apart. Despite setbacks and challenges, the team's hard work and attention to detail paid off, culminating in a successful restoration that brought this classic car back to its former glory.
