Jay Leno's 67 Imperial Crown Coupe

[Mr C]

Here is a video where Jay Leno gushes praise on his largely unrestored (freshened engine and brakes) 67 Imperial Crown Coupe.

His facts aren't 100% correct (he calls it a Chrysler Imperial, and he mentions the cast iron torqueflite whish was of course aluminum by 67) but I'll forgive him since he own so many. I also categorically agree with all of his love for this car, he mentions it's fast several times... and anti-donk comments.

For your Imperial enjoyment.

Very nice video. Leno was more knowledgeable about the Imp than I expected. Matt, does your Imp have dual A/C? I love the power vent windows.

I have seen this video. I love it and he really goes into a lot of detail about the car and plus there are a few common points with my '66 300

He knows a lot about a lot of cars. I like Leno and admire his enthusiasm. Another nice Imperial interior, perhaps the 2nd nicest I have seen

I agree. I admire him too. Leno does a lot for and supports Veteran causes.

I wonder what his worth is? He spends a ton of money on his cars........He's been doing the tonight show how long?

 

[1978 NYB]

$150-190 million. He earns $30 million a year for the Tonight Show. He has 84 cars and 73 motorcycles.

that much? He earns more than a ball player. I guess NBC played their hand when they let him go and it flopped. They need him

I forgot that he took a pay cut so NBC wouldn't lay off some of his staff members.

He can afford it...................... and Now I like him more

 

[polara71]

I remember him as a comedian on the Mike Douglas , Merv Griffin and Dinah Shore shows

 

[1978 NYB]

Ya, someone that looks after his people is a great guy! I can remember him being a guest on Carson.

 

[polara71]

Yeah, that too....he used to fill in for Carson when he went on vacation

 

[1978 NYB]

LOL! Back in the day a lot of people watched Carson when there was only 3 major channels.

 

[polara71]

I remember those days , NBC,ABC and CBS after that it was UHF and Wee Willie Webber for the Cartoons

With no remote controls...........and black & white when I was a kid. LOL!

My mom and dad won a black and white tv from the thrill show at the garden state race track. It was small, maybe 13" or 17" did they make one?

I remember them buying the 19" RCA XL100 in 73 or 74. I ran home at lunch to see the cartoons. The Banana splits never looked so good.

Can't tell you how much that freaked me out reading that.

He's doing what every car guy dreams of doing. He comes across as a pretty regular guy.

 

[1978 NYB]

RCA or Zenith TV's back in the day.
