I found mine on top of the glove box.

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Build sheet
/card locations
I have heard of build sheets found in the area above the
headliner.
I haven't found this, only heard of it happening.
__________________________________________________________
Known build sheet locations always seem to be talked about
as above or below the glove box, stuffed in or under the seat cushions (esp.
rear), under carpet or occasionally in the trunk. These if anything
at all is to be found and most of the time nothing is anywhere on FL
cars. I want to add a place to look to this list.
I did an inspection on a '57 Chrysler 300C that was one of the
factory stick shift cars that had 23K miles at the time. While on a
creeper under the car I found the IBM card from which the car was built
well-taped to the crossmember above the rear axle to which the upper mount of
the rear shocks was attached. The card was taped between the shock mounts
with the tape wrapping the crossmember so it had to be put there before the
body was assembled to the chassis.
Has anyone else found anything in this location? The
card wouldn't last in any wet climate but this car was in El Paso and that card did last well over 40
years. Anyone find just the tape? It did cross my mind
that perhaps just the uncommon, unusual order cars like this 390HP race car
needed something the assembly workers would see as sort of a "heads-up"
- pay attention as you bolt this car together.
