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.
