It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Fantastic! I love how he knows every detail about the car. Glad he shared it with us.
Leno has a passion for automobiles. I actually knew about this automobile from an acquaintance yrs ago I met at the Kruse Auction in Auburn Indiana around 1982. The man has a duesenberg and told me about it. He was a bold flamboyant high roller and I was not. He owned multiple GM dealerships in the midwest and was flat filthy rich. Why he spoke to me is somewhat of a guess but maybe he recognized my passion for automobiles . He actually helped the Kruses set up their first classic car auction and was involved when the Barretts ask the Kruses to do the very first auction in Scottsdale Arizona . The rest is history for the Barrett Jackson folks, however the Kruses were run out of Indiana for bad dealings. Their 400 acre auction park was sold to Ebay first and then RM auctions. Lou donated 1 million dollars to keep the auburn cord museum open back when they were going to close it. It is still open and if you ever get a chance go thru it an amazing historical place.
