Default Glove Box finds

Clean out the Cadillac glove box. Found some '60's Chevy mailers to my father in law. I really like the Infectious Diseases chart. Could you imagine getting these mailer's today?

Cool stuff. At a junkyard one day, found a few nOS oil filter seals in a Cadillac glovebox.

In 2010 I found some “white powder” inside a fake cigarette hidden in my 66 GTO glove box door map slot. I’ve owned the car since 1983, so was driving around with it for nearly 30 years…

In a 73 Formula I had, it was wired with toggle switches to disable the rear running lights/tail lights. Upon digging around, I found the top of the glovebox was modified with a pill organizer. It was mounted on top, so if you opened three glovebox, everything looked normal. It came out of NJ.

Other than that I haven't found anything super cool. My 77 TA had a winning lottery ticket in it from the 90s placed inside a plastic sleeve. I guess the original owner was pretty proud of it.

Of course the dream is to find large sums of cash, gold, firearms etc etc, but it's usually just mouse houses lol

Not what I would call finds, just a part of my '66s history that stay in the Glove Box.

Couple years ago I bought a wholesale vehicle for my car lot... a 2006 Nissan Titan. The truck was pretty beat but ran good. Took it for a test run. Was sitting at a traffic light and for whatever reason I lifted up the dashmat and there was $150 in cash stashed between the dash and dashmat.. Glad I found it before the guys at my shop did..
