Which classic era of American steel actually gained value over the last five years?
In this episode of Assess and Caress, Jay Leno teams up with automotive appraiser Donald Osborne, to evaluate three defining icons of American motoring shipped straight from the @AudrainMuseumNetwork in Newport, Rhode Island:
1940s: A mostly original 33,000-mile 1947 Buick Roadmaster sporting Harley Earl's landmark pre-war styling and a Fireball straight-eight engine.
1950s: A coral-and-charcoal 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman hardtop featuring Virgil Exner’s "Forward Look," push-button drive, and DeSoto’s exclusive 330ci Hemi V8.
1960s: An immaculate 1966 Oldsmobile 442 packing the rare factory L69 Tri-Carb setup (triple Rochester two-barrel carburetors) and a four-speed manual transmission.
Jay and Donald break down the mechanical quirks, social history, and driving dynamics of each machine before Donald reveals the cold, hard market data from the past five years.
