Flying Legends 2014 – Honoring Men and Their WWII Flying Machines
While these warbirds are not cars, they are beautiful machines. Also, they pioneered technologies that later improved cars, everything from power trains to structures.
Enjoy!

Bill Streitenberger’s Passing
It is with great sadness that the JCNA has learned of the passing of Bill Streitenberger, long-time member and President of JCNA at two different times.
Bill held the position of Chief Judge of his club for many years and was instrumental in organizing his clubs annual Concours. In addition, Bill was newsletter editor for many years and was somewhat infamous for his selection of jokes which graced the pages of Jaguar Tales. Bill was serving as JCNA Regional Director at the time of his passing.
Detailing Product Tips from the Pros
Among the many points we picked up at the very helpful judges training Jack, our Chief Judge, conducted today is a recommendation for two products that make a difference in how spiffy your detailing turns out. These are professional secrets I’m revealing here. Next time you see Keith, say thanks!
For trim, vinyl, rubber, tires, etc., you probably can’t do better than use CAR BRITE Inside-Out Detailer. Find it at http://www.carbrite.com/Products/Exterior-Care/Dressings/Aerosol-Dressings/Inside-Out-Detailer.aspx
For touch-up right before the contours, these Mequiars products are pretty near indispensable http://www.meguiars.com/en/search/?term=final+touch+wax

1st Time — Jaguar Heritage Building Six New Old E-Type Racers
Lightweight E-type Re-creation
In 1963 Jaguar began a production run of 18 special Lightweight E‐type race cars. Only 12 of the 18 were produced, the last delivered in 1964. This left 6 chassis numbers dormant for the next 50 years.
Now, the Heritage division of Jaguar is going to build the last six remaining Lightweight racing E‐types.
See this flyer for details: E-Type Lightweight – 05-14-14
