Spotted in Jay Leno's garage: Tatra T87?

It's hard not to be a fan of http://jaylenosgarage.com - the videos are a great way to learn about the man's wide ranging collection - everything from steam power to early electrics to motorcycles to classic collectibles to supercars to wild customs. After the brief history lessons, look inside & under the hood, the best part is of course taking the machines out for a drive in LA traffic.

I just watched the video of his Chrysler Airflow, and noticed that it's parked beside what appears to be the famously aerodynamic Tatra T87:



Maybe he'll eventually post a video about this car and we'll have a closer look at it in action.
