Re: Items found under front seat

Of course several reasons for coinage under the seat, at least one of which was the custom of my era. When a friend first showed you his new (or used) car, you took some coins from you pocket and tossed them into the car. Do people still do this?

Under the seat of my 34 when I bought it was the jack and a nearly full set of tools in the tool roll (minus the engine crank), a hotel receipt from the White Mountains of NH from 1935, a receipt from the RCA Store in Manhattan for the installation of a radio, also from 1935, and a WW II gas ration card.
