San diego jaguar club
History of The San Diego Jaguar Club John Duncan a young Navy pilot organized the initial Jaguar Club of San Diego with the help of Bill Grevemeyer and Bill Swett. To recruit interest in the club these three gentlemen placed flyers on every Jaguar they saw and by early 1959 they had enough people interested in forming a club that they were able to apply to the Jaguar Club of North America (JCNA) for a charter for the Jaguar Automobile club of San Diego. The club’s corporate charter defined its purpose as providing a social environment where Jaguar owners can share their enthusiasm for Jaguar card, perpetuate the heritage of the Marque and encourage the preservation and restoration of older Jaguar Cars. The very first club meeting was held at the Mexican Village in Coronado on March 6, 1959 where the following Club Officers were appointed President: John Duncan Vice President: Bill Swett Secretary/Treasurer: Cleo Adams Activities Chairman: Bill Grevemeyer In1959 the Club took part in the Coronado Fourth of July Parade where Miss San Diego, Raquel Tejada, rode in a member's Jaguar. You may know this young lady by her future acting name, Raquel Welch, however we do not have an image of this.
The first major event that the club took part in was a hill climb in the City of Ensenada where 10 cars from San Diego, 9 cars from San Francisco and 6 cars from Los Angeles participate.
The Club’s First Concours held in Balboa Park at the Organ Pavilion Amphitheater as part of the 1959 Fiesta del Pacifico. There were over 50 Jaguars from California and Bill Corey of Pasadena, a well-known automotive authority was the Chief Judge. In 1962 the club was active in area rallies and the then President Bob Fitzgerald felt the SDJC cars should be identifiable as being club members. Bob created the artwork for the club logo with the original logo looked like the one shown below.
The logo was later updated with the leaper leaping leap to the left like the one used by the Jaguar Factory.
