Jay Leno lives for laughs as "The Tonight Show" host, but when it comes to his extensive collection of cars, the funnyman couldn't be more serious. One of his prized possessions is a 1931 Duesenberg Model J, and this six-episode series allows viewers a seat in the shop of Duesenberg scholar Randy Ema as the classic car undergoes a complete restoration. It's stripped down to a shell of its former self, and the goal is to create a Duesenberg that looks like the original but also offers improved performance under the hood.
