Leno was behind the wheel of his 1907 White Model G steam car, a 30-horsepower, brass-era touring machine built by the White Motor Company.<\/p>\n
The open-air antique \u2014 finished in green and black with polished brass lamps and trim \u2014 runs on a compound steam engine rather than gasoline, and features three rows of seating and a tall, upright windshield.<\/p>\n
