Leno didn't want to just take it, so they arranged to donate the purchase price of the car as a scholarship fund to McPherson College, which offers four-year programs in automotive restoration and mechanics. Now the car resides in Leno's garage. Check out the video for the rest of...

There are rare cars, and there are really rare cars. A 1931 Duesenberg Model J would certainly qualify as the latter. In a story straight out of a car collector's fantasies, this particular model was discovered in New York City with just a few thousand miles on the clock (7,000 to be more precise).
