The Tonight Show host Jay Leno isn’t only known for his mouth. He’s also popular for his love of rare and valuable cars, which may get his behind hauled to court.

According to the NY Post, the family of Macy’s successor John Strauss has sued the talk show host and the owners of an East Side garage who reportedly hoodwinked the heir out of his precious 1931 Duesenberg Model J.

A Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit states that the car’s estimated worth is $1.2 million, but that Leno was able to buy it from the garage for a measly $180,000 following a “sham” sale.

Nathan Goldberg, a lawyer for Strauss, says that “the whole thing was a sham.”

The heir’s family, who claims he was then in his 80s, also charges that Strauss had – for years – rejected Leno’s attempts to get his hands on the one-of-a-kind auto, but that it wound up in the host’s possession after the garage resorted to “funny business” three years ago.

The suit claims the octogenarian had to pay parking fee to the garage, which informed him that the charge was past due and that, if left unpaid, would lead to the auctioning of the car. The family members insist that the inheritor sent them a $22,000 check, which was returned.

The heir was told he owed $36,000 and was provided with another account number, which was for the space used by two other cars Strauss had with another garage owned by the same people. This led to Strauss "defaulting" on the Duesenberg. The garage went on to sell the other two cars to themselves and sold the precious auto to Leno, who obtained it for $180,000.

Strauss’ death in May this year led to his daughters discovering the Leno problem. Since the cars are family heirlooms, they are dead serious on getting them back. Meanwhile, representatives for the talk show host have declined to comment.

If these accusations are indeed true, Leno should’ve been quick enough to smell a $180,000 rip-off. But his love for cars got him blinded.
