In the early 70s, my dad bought a late 60s Chevrolet four door sedan to tow his small camper at a dealer's auction. It always had a rattle or thumping sound coming from one corner of the car. He got into a minor accident, and insurance paid to have the bumper and rear quarter panel fixed. He told the body shop to look for the source of the noise.

A few days later, he got a call to come see the car, the body shop found the source of the noise. While the car was being assembled, somebody put a glass Coke botle into the rear and then welded the quarter panel over it.

Seen that before. Took the rear interior panel off a newly purchased 78 Mustang II for a rattle. Several Coke cans back there, sprayed with undercoating.
