Coin left by line workers??
While changing out my antenna found a 1987 Canadian quarter in a place which suggests it was placed there(well under carpet etc.)Since the car is an 87 and the line workers knew it was a z49 export car I think it was placed.Anyone else found anything?

Do you think the line workers hid the burrito in the car?

Well, on mine, the original license plate from 1985 was hidden under the carpet insulation in back. Coins can get in those places much easier than license plates.

Also, I'm guessing your car was assembled in 86, and that coin was minted in 1987... so it's doubtful. Does it still look new?

If your not the original owner, you are in the Great White North, so anyone previous to you could have dropped it.

You guys ever toured the plant? If so, you likely went through on one of the 23 breaks the UAW workers take each day. Check out the line - yep, that is the workers napping in the cars while they sit idle on the assembly line. I can see coins and burritos falling out of their pockets!
