Found some old bullets in my car!!
 

I found these pulling out a makeshift rear seat riser. Pretty interesting.

Look like old 22 cal rim fire.

I googled them and learned they are made by Remington. 22 long rifle made during WWII era.

One 22 bullet and an old worn out dime. Left the dime in the body when I sold it might still have the 22 bullet some place.

If you search the subject you will find numerous posts of things members have found from rat skeletons to large sums of money. Wayne

When some club members pulled the body off an original car they found a dragonfly squished in the welting I believe. I think it went with the car when it got sold-framed of course.

They made those up into the 70s. Don't worry until you start finding just the bullets and not the cartridges.

When my buddy was restoreing his Jag E type, he found a dead, dried mouse. It was stretched out like the cat on the front of the car, so he painted it silver and mounted on a little podium and displayed it with the car at a Jag show. The Jag people were not impressed.

I found a 7 shot Sears Defender pistol in my Tudor.There was an old tin box full of tools,parts,and a broken glass jug of oil.The oil had turned into grease,so I poured some gas in it,covered it and left it outdoors for a few weeks.Every so often I would give it a stir,and after a while I started pulling parts out of it.I got most of the original tool kit,a dual wiper setup,some vulcanizing clamps,plugs,points,the gun and dozens of other little doo-dads.I thought the gun was stainless at first,but it is nickel plated,just preserved by the oil.It is more accurate then some other modern guns I have with the same 2-1/2 inch barrel.

You guys are lucky, usually all I find when I clean out the corners of a new to me vehicle is junk [emoji6]. Heard an urban legend years ago that someone used a 22 cartridge to replace the blown fuse, apparently with explosive results


Looking for the front bumper emblem that has "Ford, Made In Canada"

I have found keys, coins and a cap gun while going through A,T and early flathead cars and trucks, but so far no bullets. Rod

Those are some crazy finds. I also found in another vehicle of mine some "Pimp Oil". That was the name of it. It was a car deodorizer. The funny part was I had searched the car numerous times before and out of nowhere there it was in the glovebox. I also found $120 in a old grass fertilizer tin can that was stuffed deep down in a trunk drain off crevice. I figured that was PO's emergency money.

There are lotion of shows, states and countries that would not allow you to display that weapon. Little boys toys are one thing but weapons are totally different and somewhat repulsive. Wayne

Might have been a "made on Friday" car.

Not in my A, but I did find an inexpensive girls necklace under the backseat of my '64 Buick Wildcat. It was broken near the middle opposite the clasp. Given its condition it had been there a long time. Since there's a lot of room back there I can only imagine how it came to be there :D
