Charles: depending upon the car you own, you just have to find someone
who can read and speak your car's "information-language".
I am fluent in 1957-1958 Dodge, and am proficient in 1959-1961 Dodge.
The other car models speak a different dialect!

Hi Ray,
Reminds me of what I found in my 73 Charger.
There were 2 broadcast sheets- One hog-ringed to the lower seat
cushion on the driver's side and one one under the lower seat cushion
of the back seat.
The one under the driver's seat was NOT for my car. It was for a very
well optioned SE. The other was for my car.
But that's not the interesting part- when I pulled the liner from the
trunk floor I found, wedged in between the quarter panel and trunk
floor extension, a perfectly preserved Chrysler factor paper coffee
cup. It had the Chrysler logo and it was one of those 'poker' cups.
It had 4 cards printed on the side and the fifth on the bottom. It
was a full house! Probably why someone thought to 'dispose' of it
there. Also,
I have found a ton of extra clips, fasteners, sound deadner, etc in
the bottom of the doors and quarter panels. Seens that if someone
dropped a fastener they didn't try to retrieve it, they just grabbed
another.
Not FL content, but interesting none the less.
So to add FL content-
What good is the IBM card if it can't be read? How does one get
his/her card read once found???

I always had the impression that the workers were responsible for
their own trash. So, when he was thru with the info for his station,
it got stuck in the car. The guy who placed the proper upholstery on
the line or in the car stuck the sheet in the upholstery so at the
end of the shift he didn't have to empty the trash. The Dash guy
shoved it over the Glove box and so on.
After 33 years of ownership, my wife found one in our '65 Chrysler
300 L when she pulled out the rotten carpet. It was in the drivers
foot-well, and of course, badly damaged. I think we have another one
put away, from under the rear seat for that car. It had been in
outside storage for many years and she was cleaning it out/up.
Surprisingly, it has almost zero rust in the floors, frame and trunk,
after sitting 12 years in a Pine forest.

out of over 40 57-9 plyms/dodges/and 2 desotos, i havent seen a
broadcast sheet pre-59. i do have 2 of the 3 from one on my 59
plymouths, one was behing the oil-impregnated insulation behind the
pass kick panel, one hog ringed to the underside of the rear seat,
the last was in pieces under the carpet... my 59 fury had only 1
under the rear carpet.... i found remnants of one shoved above the
glove box of a 59 CRL...
probably no set standard location, just wherever someone felt like
stick 1 or more at the time of assembly.
