I had to pull the carpet out of the DirtyBird, as the heater core finally gave up after 40 years. Under the carpet on the drivers side, I found a quality control punch card, with the cars VIN on it- in great shape too!  I don't remember hearing about them- are they common to find?  Kinda neat-

It looks like an IBM punch card, has the Vehicle order#, VIN#, color, and roof codes, across the top.  It says QUALITY in the middle, with the U and I dropped down a line so it says Quality needs U and I together.  It's been manually rubber stamped with what must be inspectors #, 3 times- two in black, one red.

That is a cool find.  When I pulled the carpet out of my car I found the diamond shaped tag that came with one of the original keys - has the code number on it.  I also found an EV2 painted paper clip that might have been the one used to hold the fender tag in the interior during painting.

And to answer your other question, no, they are not commonly found.  Good score!
