Check This Out!!
Today I pulled the dash out of my '68 Camaro. When I was cleaning up I decided to vacuum out the FreshAir vents behind the kick panels. On the drivers side, I found a BURGERMEISTER BEER can!! The can is in relatively good condition. My car was manufactured at the Los Angeles plant...the markings on the beer indicate that it was brewed in LA. There is a barely visible date stamp of 1968!!
Is this what they meant by a Friday or Monday car??

Too funny! I'm sure the story will make it worth more if you sell it.

That's better than what I found in my Pontiac Astre in the early '80s. The body was holding up remarkably well (better than the engine) except for this rust spot/hole in the drivers door. Some SOB on the line pitched his/her empty paper coffee cup in the door. That is what caused the rust.

Looks like that one was stashed so the boss wouldn't see it in the trash!! Too funny
Speaking Friday cars, my buddy's 70 Chevelle had about 5 different body mounts used when it takes only 2 different ones. We have told him his car was built on a friday ever since!Nick R.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?

Now, does that appear on the build sheet? Do you lose points if you don't have one? what if it is a repo beer can?

Look on ebay, there are quite a few Burgermeister cans and stuff. Worth about $10 if rust free. Here is a similar one:
