Probably not, because it was just Jay visiting (he was in town to do a show)..
He did not have his video crew with him.
Maybe, if the SNM people (or others) were to share their videos with Leno, he might use it for his website....

When I was out in California I visited a Studebaker repair show, yes you heard that correct. The guy only works on Studebakers, and the shop was full. He had, I think it was a 1931 President convertible there for work and it was 1 of 2 in existence. Jay Leno offered 1 million for it and the owner turned it down! I do have a pic of it.Jim Rostron

Leno doesn't seem like the kind of guy to just walk up and offer a million bucks for a car.. He seems pretty well grounded and does his research. But, what do I know!

Third there are at least 54 known '31 President roadsters (most already restored) and they change owners frequently, none have ever been sold for over $160,000. If you are referring to Bill Olivers place he did have a '34 President convertible in there for quite a while. Have been in touch with
