In a thrilling episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we witness the resurrection of an automotive legend at Williams International in Detroit, Michigan. Greg Williams, son of the visionary Sam Williams, takes us on a journey back to the 1950s when the groundbreaking jet engine was first conceived. The team's dedication to recreating this marvel of engineering, with over 60 original members above 80 years old, is nothing short of heroic. Their mission not only honors the past but also showcases the ingenuity of American labor and technology.
The turbine engine's ability to run on various fuels, from Chanel No. 5 to tequila, is a testament to its versatility and innovation. Williams International's commitment to American manufacturing and precision shines through in the recreation of this complex engine, a feat that sets them apart from the rest. The hybrid engine developed 30 years ago by the team, ahead of its time, foreshadows the advancements in automotive technology we see today.
As Jay Leno and Greg Williams take the restored turbine car for a spin, the seamless power delivery and lack of vibration leave them in awe. The craftsmanship and attention to detail put into this vehicle, originally from 1963, are a true testament to the skill and dedication of the team. The Woodward Dream Cruise serves as the perfect backdrop for this historic drive, showcasing a piece of American history that has been lovingly preserved and restored by Williams International and Greg Williams.
