I found something else under the passenger side carpet. I found 2 quarters glued with the carpet, i just drove my hand under the carpet and suddenly i felt the 2 coins.
Has anyone else found coins under the carpet? I wounder why they did this, for luck or???

Some rare option?? RPO 2AQ?? < 2 American Quarters

Actually it could be as simple as the person after lunch having 2 quarters in his pocket bent over and before he could do anything they fell out and had them glued into the carpet.. rather than spending 20 min cleaning them up left them there.

Back in the 50's or 60's as a joke someone on the line threw a bottle into a section of a Buick that was completely enclosed by welds and it would rattle something horible. They did not find the bottle till they tore the car apart.

When I bought my camaro, the dealer said that the guy that traded it in was **** about keeping the car clean, supposedly he would stop at a carwash and wash it every day. The dealer didnt even need to detail it before it went onto the lot. Well, I didnt exactly believe the story but when I cleaned the car next time, I found a bag with about 25 dollars worth of quarters under the drivers seat. I guess the guy really liked to wash his car.
