Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, or Independents, none of it matters if you are a real car guy. In the video below you’ll see Jay Leno and President Joe Biden take a ride through SoCal in Joe’s 1967 Corvette Convertible. He’s had it since it was new, and has kept it despite being told he can’t drive it on public roads. I know there are a lot of guys that own 1967 Corvettes and don’t drive them, but if you watch this video I think you’ll agree that we should all be driving our old cars. This is one of those videos that will tell you a little something about Jay, Joe, and the world in general.
At one point in this video Jay makes the comment that they are two old guys in a Corvette and it is that for sure, but so much more.
Regardless of your party affiliation I think we can agree on several of the topics these tow gentleman are talking about. Watch and tell me I’m wrong.
Video Description:
Jay Leno hosts a truly historic edition of the show featuring the original owner of a pristine 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray convertible. This beautiful American classic has been kept in incredible condition by its sole driver, the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden.
In this exclusive episode, Jay and President Biden take the 1967 classic out for a spin to stretch its legs. The President shares the deeply personal story of how his father, who managed a local car dealership, surprised him with the Corvette as a wedding gift back in 1967. Originally priced at 5,700 dollars, this iconic sports car features a factory four speed manual gearbox that the President still loves to shift himself.
The episode features incredible moments on the track, including memories of a legendary runway encounter with Colin Powell in a newer Corvette, and stories of burning rubber right in front of an anxious Secret Service detail. Jay and the President take a nostalgic trip down memory lane while discussing the unique feel of a classic mid-century American V8 engine.
Beyond the mechanical highlights of the Corvette, the conversation spans a lifetime of public service, local train travel, environmental conservation, and the absolute vital importance of global alliances. To top off a perfect day of driving, Jay and the President make a classic pit stop at a local ice cream shop for a double scoop of chocolate chip on a sugar cone.
