I found a brochure to a Jewish historical society in Connecticut. At least now i'm sure the car was taken care of. It kinda backs up the fact that it was a one owner traded in on a new Cadillac.

I found some pills, pine needles, and misc dirt. Under the back seats I found 28 cents, in quarters and pennies.

A smooth round rock in the trunk.
Looked like one picked up off a beach.
That's it.
Cheapskate!

Although, when I took my car in for servicing last year and was driving a loaner, I found an envelope with $1,000 in cash in it! It was mistakenly left behind by the guy who used the car before me. Unfortunately, my conscience got the better of me so I didn't keep it...
I called the dealership and they got in touch with the previous driver who met up with me so he could get his money back. He was grateful but didn't even offer me a reward of one quarter and three pennies!
Cheapskate!

A rats nest in the air box. I think that was it. The interior was pretty clean and I didnt find any change or anything. Oh and an REO Speedwagon tape in the tape deck.

llcoolpass I dont have anything personal against you btw.

My interior looked like somebody had a dead body in it, then wiped it perfectly clean to try and fool a CSI team - it was absolutely spotless (amazing for an 11 yr old car when I got it)....though there was an extra CD changer cartridge in the trunk!

Under the hood tho - lots of snail shells (wtf??) and squirrel *****....
