It wasn;t my 31 roadster, but the second car I restored is my 2ed chrysler 4dr model 52. There was only the rear door panel still on the car, when I took it off down inside the door was a [fan] the kind on a stick to fan yourself, it was an advertisement for a funeral home with the 3 ditgit phone number, I beleive is still in business in New Martinsville W.va. Some day im going to check it out, the fan is in good shape and I lay it on the seat if I display the car as its also antique, must have fell thru the window channel in the funeral prosession.

In the 31 Murray town sedan I owned I found old hat pins (if that's what there called) inside the upholstery and under the rear seat cushion. A real mystery, maybe a previous owner was a tailor. Incidently, there were probably 30 or 40 of them. I threw them all out but now I see there is a hatpin society and they are very collectable. Oh well....

I wish I had found money under the seat of my '29 murrary. It would help pay for the rebuild. I did find a mummified rat. Can I sell that??

But I also found 4 original spark plugs still in their box so it's not all bad.
