    Jay Remembers the Three-Wheeled Car

    Jay Leno's most recent automotive acquistion is also one of the world's rarest: a car built, registered and driven around the country by a 17-year old in the early 1930's

    Heh...the French and the US tried lots of 3-wheeled models in the early parts of the 20th century. Hell, the French even played around with cars with a big dual propellor up front.

    The thing probably turns like a boat, literally. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it would be different.
