MIA Jeff Rice?

Question

I know its been a little while, but any news on JR and his quest for new digs? I have this dream that he is living out of a compound of PODS, moving from one rest stop to another while eating at the breakfast buffets at the Holiday Inn Express. bs

I don't know if Jeff will show up in JAX or not. There's a bigpossibility that I will be there though. I don't know if I'll drive mytruck or not, it's not left the state of GA since first delivered herein 1959. It kinda adds to the 'sentimental' part of the truck. :) TheDaytona is not hardly ready for a show.I'm looking forward to seeing that beautiful '54 Starliner!MatthewMichael - Roseland FL wrote:

I've heard that a time or two before. :) My grandparents lived in Jax in the early '70's. They moved from there to where they are now in

1977. The last time the state meet was in Jacksonville, we drove the yellow '51 Starlight coupe. I think we brought home a second place, I can't remember. I do know that we were the only bulletnose there, Nollie Hinton has just got his '48 Commander rag top (had a price of $35,000 on it), and The Cades brought the '31 President Roadster along with a '53 coupe.

Did he get (or ask if he didn't) a 1st Place trophy?Lee

Knowing Nollie and the cars he has owned, he most likely did get afirst. I think we got 2nd, and another one of our chapter members got3rd with a '52 Champ four door, which my uncle aquired since then.MatthewLee Aanderud wrote:

At the last state meet in Lake Mary he took home a 2nd or 3rd with his'04 Avanti convertible. (People's choice)I rode in that convertible as well as Micheal Float's super sweet '63R4 clone at that show, and was MUCH more impressed with the latter. The'04 was nothing more than a rebodied Pontiac.Matthew BurnetteP.S.That was the first time I got to drive Jeff Rice's '37 CE and StephenCade even rode me around in his 1911 Flanders runabout. I for one had ablast at that show! :)Lee Aanderud wrote:

The Florida State Meet is always a lot of fun. Good people and nice cars. Last year there were less cars because of Hurricane Wilma causing a lot of problems for our South Florida folks. I am hoping there will be a good amount of Georgia people at the meet.
