What have you found in your car?

Found this piece of the wet sand paper that GM used in their bodyshop in a 63 Chevy II. It still had the orange adhesive sprayed on it where they glued down the sound deadener and carpet.

Back in the 80's I bought a 69 camaro out of a junkyard in Phila. The car was filled with clothes, books, and trash in the back seat. When I cleaned it out, it seemed that the car may have had a shady past. Apparently someone had dropped a seed as there was a 2 inch 'plant' growing out of the carpet !!

[Canuck]

Removed the original carpet from my 1960 Chrysler 300 in 2002 and found a 1958 dated nickel on the floor. It must have been dropped by a line worker. Couldn't help but think when he went to the pop machine on his break and couldn't locate his drink money.

I found a section of the Cincinnati Inquirer dated for June 5, 1969, under the driver's side carpet in my '69 Camaro. The car is dated 6A.

Wow! Very cool guys. Phil, is that red band a section of headliner? They did that on the Mopars as well. I had two samples of mine hanging from the trunk torsion bars and one under the back seat.

Tracker....Dan's was a 68. Things didn't heat up for the Charger until 69....Oh!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

Dave,

That is a piece of headliner. They weren't very neat about the trimmings.

Back in '71 I found the build sheet for my '68 Z in the springs under the back seat cushion.

An extra side marker bezel painted in Cameo white and placed under the rear seat, mastic sound deadener by the Norwood employees. Most likely close to the infamous UAW strike date in early 1972. Must have made for an impossible to find rattle when new.

My brother found this rust proofed coffee cup in the door of his 67 Impala. It had a few bolts in it for added driver enjoyment.

Too bad build sheets aren't as plentiful as used coffee cups.

NO coffee cups, but a couple drive-in movie tickets, about 45.cents in change, S&amp;S green stamps and a baggie with some hash cubes.
Oh, and this was also in the trunk.




And this was in the glove compartment
