I was restoring an early set of fogs and had a good laugh when I cracked one of the lights open. Inside, neatly folded, in one of the fogs was a flyer to a car show back in 1990. I couldn't see any reason why that would be inside there....the light had a good seal and everything was in tact--no loose parts. At first, I thought someone had put the flyer in to tighten up rattle or something, just didn't look like that was the case.

Maybe the DAPO thought they were time capsules - like cornerstones in buildings - & stuck it in there!?

First, I've never used paper wads to dampen rattle.

Second, does it rattle without the paper?????

I'm just sitting here dumbfounded that 1990 was 20 years ago . . .

Try looking at it under the light of a full moon.

I saw a later model C4 Corvette with historic tags the other day. Man, I must be getting old.
