    1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review

    1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review The year was 1935 when the Jaguar brand first leapt out of the factory gates. Founded in 1922 as the Swallow Sidecar Company by William Lyons and William Walmsley, both were motorcycle enthusiasts and the company manufactured motorcycle sidecars and automobile bodies. Walmsley was rather happy with the company’s modest success and saw little point in taking risks by expanding the firm. He chose to spend more and more time plus company money on making parts for his model railway instead. Lyons bought him out with a public stock offering and became the sole Managing Director in 1935. The company was then renamed to S.S. Cars Limited. After Walmsley had left, the first car to bear the Jaguar name was the SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon released in September 1935. The 2.5l Saloon was one of the most distinctive and beautiful cars of the pre-war era, with its sleek, low-slung design. It needed a new name to reflect these qualities, one that summed up its feline grace and elegance with such a finely-tuned balance of power and agility. The big cat was chosen, and the SS Jaguar perfectly justified that analogy. A matching open-top two-seater called the SS Jaguar 100 (named 100 to represent the theoretical top speed of 100mph) with a 3.5 litre engine was also available. www.themodelcarcritic.com | 1 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1935 SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon www.themodelcarcritic.com | 2 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1936 SS Jaguar 100 On 23rd March 1945, the shareholders took the initiative to rename the company to Jaguar Cars Limited due to the notoriety of the SS of Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

    First Carmel-By-The-Sea Concours Story by Michael T

    August 29th, 2007 First Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours Story by Michael T. Lynch A Free Event at Monterey With prices for some events now at $200 per person, Monterey Peninsula’s week of automotive festivities is sometimes out of reach for many enthusiasts. We report here on two events that are free to the public, but make no compromise in presenting some of the finest examples of automotive design and engineering seen during the week. At 11:00 AM on a clear Tuesday morning, during a run of the best weather ever seen during the Monterey Peninsula’s legendary annual festival of the automobile, a new star was born. As crowds stood amidst the distinctive architecture and towering pines shadowing Carmel’s Ocean Avenue shops, restaurants and galleries, Daniel Rodriguez, the retired New York policeman who inspired the country after the September 11 attacks, took the stage. His flawless rendition of the Star Spangled Banner officially opened the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue and was followed by a flyover of three L-39 jets. The Bernardus hors d'ouvres await the crowd at the Monday night Carmel Concours entrants' and VIP party at the Carmel Plaza. Credit: Gary Geiger When the stunned crowd again lowered their eyes to the street, 130 landmark automobiles produced during the almost unbroken 25 years of prosperity following World War II surrounded them. Cars present were associated with names from automotive history like Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Augie Pabst, A.J. Foyt, Bob Bondurant, Briggs Cunningham, Phil Walters and John Fitch, and one Cadillac carried Ike and Mamie Eisenhower to Ike’s first presidential inauguration.

Region - Club #21 www.carolinajaguarclub.com THE STIRLING MOSS EDITION May Meeting 2020 Welcome to the April Edition of the Carolina Jaguar Club Newsletter. There will be no event in April or May and June is questionable. While preparations are being made for the Concours a board deci- tion as to whether this will take place is underway. I was asked by a member to make this announcement. Our members, Ann and Nick Paul are celebrating the homecoming of Ann. Ann suffered a massive stroke a few days after the 2019 concours at Little Swithzerland. She was hospitalized, followed by 6 months in a rehabilitation facili- ty in Beaufort, NC. Finally, Ann was allowed to return to her home in Arapahoe, NC, which has wonderful views of the Neuse River. The homecoming has brighten her spirits, and is helping to mini- mize her paralysis a bit. Please send welcome home and encouragement notes to: Ann Paul 249 China Grove Road Arapahoe, NC, 28510 This will help with her healing. Thank You, Stew and Alice King, Mesic, NC From the EDITOR Welcome to the Carolina Jaguar Club April Newsletter. Well we are in strange times. While we cannot enjoy each others com- pany it is of course better to stay safe. The board of directors send their best wishes to you all. Of course as you know Aprils event at Shelton was called off and it looks like both the May and June events are also cancelled.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
