I've found one in my LA built '56 Plymouth. It was under the floor mat on the passenger side. Unfortunately, it had become one with the undercoating and I had no choice but to destroy it. It would have been good to take a picture of it, but that was before the advent of digital cameras. Neil always claimed that they could sometimes be found on top of the glove box, but I have never found one there yet.

I found a broadcast sheet taped to the back of the glove box on both my '61 Fury and one of my '59 Dodges. I haven't located any other sheets on any of my '55-'61 cars. On late 60's early 70's Mopars, I've found it's always a safe bet that the sheet is tucked up behind the rear seat springs.

I have been begging, pleading and whining to try and get an example broadcast sheet for a 56 Dodge for over 4 years now. Nothing.

That said, they have been sighted and posted for some FL cars here on the forum, mostly starting in around 1957.

This post contains some:

Otherwise, you need to get an image of your car's IBM card and post it to try to figure things out. I have done this for many 56 Dodge owners.

I found one tucked into the back of the upper rear seat on an LA-built 1956 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman. That's the only one I have ever seen, unless you count the fact that all 1959 DeSotos had a build card glued to the underside of the glovebox liner.

My 56 Dodge was LA built. I wonder whether it will have a broadcast sheet up there too. How can I check that without disassembling the seat too much? I can remove the seat bottom easily enough but peering up into the back of the back seems like a problem.

???

In my '56 LA built I found one in the rear seat springs, but I can't remember if it's the upper or bottom seat.

Far as I have understood, there was no standard routine for if the broadcast sheets should be placed inside the cars. My '60 Saratoga had no broadcast sheet anywhere, but there was an inspection sheet under the carpet in the rear left of the car.

I think that the foreman decided if the broadcast sheet should be placed in the cars, more as evidence if someone complained that the car wasn't built as ordered.

The seat back comes off easily. Remove the seat bottom and then the two nuts at the bottom of the seat back. Then lift the seat back up and forward off the hooks that are in the trunk divider.

Agree. So what did you find there? I found nothing.

Found one under the front carpet passenger side in my 61 Desoto and another one in the same car, but I forgot where. But since the latter is in excellent condition, I do believe it was on top of the glove box. Wait... I found one under a seat, but I forgot if it was my 60 or 61 Desoto.
