Media outlets are reporting that Tonight Show host and noted car collector Jay Leno is being sued by the estate of a Macy’s department store heir over a 1931 Duesenberg Model J that he bought from a New York City garage in 2005.
Leno purchased the Duesenberg and a 1930 Rolls-Royce for $180,000 from the garage, which allegedly claimed the owner failed to pay his bill, according to a complaint filed yesterday in New York State Supreme Court. Wendy Lubin, daughter of late Macy’s executive John Straus, sued Leno, his company Big Dog Productions Inc., and the Windsor Garage where Straus parked the cars for more than 50 years, according to the complaint.
