68 years later, it is still the main ingredient in natural car waxes. |

It is a very historical and effective ingredient. Sometimes its hard to beat nature.

Can someone explain this quote to me?
Quote:

"I am Carnauba, my true home is not this bay but the hearts of all who love adventure."

It was at the end of the article...

I scratched my head over that one, too. From the way they worded it, it sounds like that must have been the name of the plane. |

Maybe the plane was called "Carnauba"?

The plane was indeed called "Carnauba". The Johnson family built an exact replica of that plane and flew it on the same 7,500 mile route to Brazil in 1998. Here is a link with pictures that is quite interesting. The plane is gorgeous.
