They were making their way from Newport, Rhode Island, to New York City, where 100 of them were on display in the Meatpacking District.

Decades earlier, a World War II veteran wanted to give it to Leno, and he wouldn't take "no" for an answer. He did wait three weeks for an official response, but in the end Leno accepted his generous, yet rudely insistent offer.
