Correct Answer: Crashed his custom Continental
(Source)Leroy Brown is the baddest man in the whole damn town, and hopefully careful with his cars. He owns a custom Continental (and an Eldorado, too), but crashing it never makes it into the song. "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" topped the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1973 and became Croce's only number-one song before he passed away a few months later. For all those intimidating descriptions, Leroy still got his butt whooped and ended up "like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone."
