Serendipity

G'day all,

I was stripping down an FE Standard sedan for parts last week and had everything out but the floor mat which was in very poor condition, brittle and covered in cr*p.  The young bloke was helping me and he pulled up the front half of the mat to find a 1957 penny jammed into the sticky stuff on the floor.

I wonder if a holden employee put it there or somehow it fell under the seat early in the cars life?

Funny what little surprises await in these old cars.

I remember that for years dad had a .22 bullet belt wrapped around the steering column of his car and a .22 rifle under the front seat. Often we would be travelling at night and see a rabbit and hey presto tomorrow nights dinner!

I've got a 1956 threepenny living in the ash tray of my FE.  It fell out of a donor seat I got from the wreckers.  My lucky charm.
