Jay Leno made a stylish return to the streets of Los Angeles, showcasing his passion for antique cars.
The 75-year-old comedian and former host of “The Tonight Show” was seen on Wednesday enjoying a leisurely drive in one of his cherished classic vehicles, capturing the attention of onlookers as he passed by.
Leno was at the helm of his 1907 White Model G steam car, a brass-era touring vehicle known for its 30-horsepower engine, crafted by the White Motor Company.
This vintage gem, adorned in green and black with gleaming brass accents, operates on a steam engine rather than traditional gasoline. It boasts three rows of seating and a prominent, upright windshield.
Of the approximately 9,000 White steam cars manufactured between 1900 and 1911, only a small number have survived. Collector registries suggest fewer than 170 exist worldwide today.
About half of those remaining examples are housed in museums, leaving a small pool in private hands.
Leno, known for his encyclopedic car collection, appeared relaxed and focused as he piloted the early 20th century ride through city traffic, its brass fixtures gleaming in the California sun.
Despite past mishaps, including serious burns suffered in a 2022 garage fire and injuries from a motorcycle accident months later, Leno has shown no signs of slowing down.
