Hidden message left by the assembly line
I thought this was pretty cool. I found it on the inside of my driver a-pillar of my 1991 Z28 1LE. Its either from the assembly line or the supplier of the a-pillar. It reads: "1st Piece 5-1-91 1st shift." Then there is either a crude drawing of a tie fighter, or somebody was circling some stamping numbers.

Re: Hidden message left by the assembly line
Hmmm...when was your vehicle built? Looks like the kind of markings a supplier or Design Release Engineer (DRE) might put on a part during pilot builds.

Re: Hidden message left by the assembly line
Years ago I had a Cadillac Allante, the guy who painted it in Italy signed his name in the wet paint on the inside of the drivers door... Coolest thing ever.
Of course I only discovered that because the power door lock was pooched... but it still made me feel good about the car.

Re: Hidden message left by the assembly line
There is a guy on here that found a penny glued to the tranny hump, heads up, with year of car. He was the original owner and found it we he redone his interior.
Name escapes me.

Here is one I found after I got it home. On the inside of the front bumper on a 92 bird.
