Never seen one before!, what size is it Chris?, and are the numbers pressed in like an old credit card?

It's the size of a credit card and the letters and numbers are pressed in (opposite of current credit cards which have letters/numbers pressed from the back). I was pretty happy to find this little piece of history.

That is cool. I wonder if the original owner stuck it in the seat and it fell out.

BigMike - That's a definite possibility. I could have rattled it loose when I pulled the bench up.
64Ranger - I live in Chico.

Great find, you just never know what you are going to find in these trucks and cars . I once bought a 63 Thunderbird parts car for 35 dollars and found a standing liberty half dollar between the seats and console worth fifty dollars. I found the warranty card for my 86 LTL 9000 in a book in the truck. It was a different type than the one you found, it was a heavy paper board type a metal strip with the info empossed in it.

Michelle, the one you found was a temporary owners card that was issued at the time of sale. After the sale was recorded an embossed card with the owners name was sent out. The metal strip on the temporary card is actually the bottom half of the metal data plate on the door on earlier models (before they did away with them). The plate had a score line and when the vehicle was at the dealership they would bend it up which snaps it off cleanly and then affix it to the temporary card. Every once in a very rare while you will see one that is still affixed to the door as it was never taken off by the dealer. Hawkrod
