Tom's blue 62 Biscayne 409 with Z-11 top half has been in the NHRA Museum in Pomona, CA for over 12 years. Last Wed. the museum's roll back took his car over to Jay Leno's garage for a film shoot!!! Don't know when it be aired but Tom will call me so I can let you know.
The Biscayne was raced all over California in the 60's. It is called Old Blue and was well known and popular in the western states.
409's STILL RULE!!!!!!!!

Two ultimate car guys getting together. Jay was featured a few years ago when two of our City Hall fleet personnel brought out the City of Los Angele's 1952 Chrysler Imperial Phaeton parade car. Jay loved it. Our guy sure enjoyed Jay as well. Tom is the nicest guy you will ever meet. That 409 Biscayne will really go over well.

Jay Leno's Garage aired the Tom Jacobson '62 Biscayne episode last night. They'll show it again Saturday morning (1/20/2018) at 11:00 AM Central on CNBC for those that missed it. Pretty cool to see a 409 car on prime time television but the numbers they came up with are kinda crazy!image.jpeg

Talked with Tom this evening....he was real pleased with the show. The guy with Jay did a real good job of researching the car's history.
No such thing as a coincidence ????? Tom lost his lovely bride 15 years ago. Her birthday was Dec. 18.......the day the show aired!!!!!!! The producers had no idea but Tom was pleasantly pleased to say the least.
