Over the time I’ve spent taking the car to bits, I’ve found quite a few interesting things. Unfortunately, most of these have been newer than the 50’s stuff you hope to find to give you a clue about the cars life.

I’ve found coins, broken earrings, faded receipts, leaves, insect shells, 4 pens, a couple of which were covered in overspray from the interior. A razor blade fell out of the dash and got stuck in my glove and loads more junk Under the back seat I found this picture of a woman with the word “Huera” written across it. Dunno who she is though.

When I took the headlining out of the car yesterday, I noticed an envleope tucked into the roof. It was an American “Validated Registration Card” letter that was sent to Jose S and Dolores L Bojorquez. The postmark is from Sacramento, California on Christmas Eve 1984. What an amazing find. I now know who owned the car when I was 14 years of age, and where they lived!
