Concours Lincoln penny?

[Jbarela]

Tearing down my 65 fastback since the shelby is done. Pulled the door glass tonight and low and behold, inside the driverside door in the very corner crevice i found a very nice patina 1964 penny that I am assuming a worker threw in there. So if it left the factory with the penny in the door should I put it back to be concourse correct?

I found a 69 quarter by shifter area under carpet of my 69 purple Shelby and have found all sorts of odd things under carpet paper cups etc . A guy told me he had a hump under his carpet and when he removed it there was a smashed pop can in that spot but the best story I got was a guy finding a nickel bag of weed under his carpet!! Ford workers used paper water cups in the plant for workers and they had many slogans wrote on them over the years as I got about 2 different ones from the Dearborn plant worker that ended up in lunchboxes. They had different colors with different writings and the smashed cup I found under my Shelby carpet was the suggestion program says if u had a good idea to help assembly line in any way u got a bonus.

When I restored my 69 Mach SCJ (1986) I removed original interior and found an assortment of Mexican currency and funny looking cigarettes under rear seat/trunk,but best of all was a SECOND headliner installed with access near rear window.....if cars could talk

I have a baggie with the items found in our '68 Shelby tear down, which include coins, hairpins, a comb, a matchbook, and a parking violation citation, plus various nuts and bolts, screws and clips.  Thank God the build sheet survived waded up in a ball stuffed up in a corner to the driver's seat.

The '65 GT tear down in the mid-eighties produced a foil packaged condom slipped under the carpet.

Being in the auto repair industry 50+ years I have come across all kinds of stuff when removing seats, carpets, trim panels and upholstery. Now days I mostly find nasty food remains, dried up beverages, hair ties, small toys, pens and some coins. It is very rare that I would find any spare parts from the assembly line in a vehicle built in the last 25 years. Working on vehicles built in the 60's and 70's though yielded a treasure trove of spares parts. All kinds of clips, screws, rivets, nuts, bolts and other miscellaneous small parts were found in almost every vehicle you worked on.

That sounds familiar Don. I have a small box of items collected out of my car during tear down. Most are unrelated to the car. Not sure why I still have them.

My uncle ran the Cleveland engine plant. He got the max award from the program. It was based on a percentage of amount saved in first year. He got 25 grand for suggesting they shouldn't paint under the vinyl tops.

Back in 1986 while disassembling the interior of our 69 mach 1, I lifted the original(great condition BTW) carpet and found a Ford brake spoon on the passenger side.
