In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we dive into the fascinating world of classic car restoration with a focus on the iconic 1925 Doble steam car. This engineering marvel, with its 1,200 lb of pressure and intricate internal workings, presents a unique challenge for the team. From fixing corroded throttle assemblies to utilizing 3D printing technology, every detail of this vintage vehicle is meticulously restored to its former glory. The steam car's operation, relying on superheated steam for power, sets it apart from traditional gas cars, showcasing the ingenuity of early automotive engineering.

Moving on to the 1940 Indian Motorcycle, which underwent a complete rebuild after a serious accident. The team, led by George, worked tirelessly to restore the engine and clutch, ensuring that every component was in top condition. The addition of a brand new sidecar body, handcrafted from scratch by Jimmy, adds a touch of modern craftsmanship to this classic ride. The attention to detail and dedication to preserving the bike's heritage shine through in every aspect of the restoration process.

Finally, we explore the Barn Special, a unique hot rod built by a talented fabricator for Pikes Peak racing in the 1950s. Featuring aircraft surplus parts and an overhead valve Cadillac engine, this vintage racer is a true testament to the craftsmanship of its original builder. The team's efforts to revive this piece of automotive history, from rebuilding brakes to restoring the steering wheel, highlight their commitment to preserving classic vehicles for future generations to enjoy. Jay Leno's Garage continues to showcase the passion and expertise required to breathe new life into these automotive treasures, keeping the spirit of classic car restoration alive and well.
