Leno has one? I never saw it on "Jays Garage" he usually is a Ham about his Cars.
 
By some very strange set of events about three years ago, I ended up touring Jay's collection over near the Burbank airport. I didn't see a 300G in the collection at that time at least. I went to pick up some door panels for my 69 Polara 500 convertible, and the guy I picked them up from turned out to be Jay's chief body/paint guy, Per Blixt. During the tour, when crossing from the collection building over to Jay's restoration shop next door, Jay himself drives up in one of his Model T Fords, and asks who I am. At that point I thought Per was in trouble for letting me see the collection, but it turns out Jay invited me to lunch, and I had lunch with him and his shop crew. What a cool guy! And he helped some of his crew make the lunch in a corner of his workshop, where he has a very nice kitchen and dining area.

I wonder if the A/C "needs charged?"

Awesome story Steve! We always hear that Jay is a great guy, but to hear it from one of us makes it even better!
