[From Malcom Johnson, friend, arts activist, documentary photograher and former correspondent to Art Taco]
" The art cars remind me of the van murals in the 1980's. One of the best artists was the late Jimmy Bryant of St. Pete. About two years ago, I saw one his paint jobs on a van in a shopping center. By the time I got back to take a picture, it was gone. There were a number of mural vans in the 'Nite Rider Van Club' of St. Pete. They had a clubhouse somewhere on 49 St. S. They have had an annual ball and the last one I know of was held about two years ago at the Coliseum. I do not know if they are still active. "
