Hello all!

I have a question about a paper in the trunk of new cars. The paper is called traveler sheet.

My question, did this paper came in the trunk with all E/B-body cars ?

If someone have any reference pics of a car with this paper in the trunk, please share!



Thanks
Nicklas

Like so much other documentation, these are being faked now as well.

Ive been around these cars since the mid 70s and dont remember ever seeing a sheet like these in any car . And one car I know well was an untitled still on MSO 13,000 mile superbird.
Im not saying they were never there

BUT,,,,,,,

IF ,,,they were there odds are not good they got past the dealer prep dept

Anyone have a picture of an original they care to share ?

I'm going to say that they probably introduced those paper in the trunk after 2008 or later.
I've never seen or heard of one in a early car, yours is the first I've heard of them.
My mother bought one of the first V8 1664 Dart made in the early spring (late January or early February) of 1964 in Palm Springs, CA, it didn't have that paper in the trunk, window sticker only
My 1998 1/2 Ram 2500 CTD didn't have one either, same thing on the last new 2006 4x4 Dodge truck Ram 3500 single wheel crew cab didn't have that paper in it that I could find also shruggy

The late SJ's survivor purple 71 hemi super bee had one in the trunk. the picture of the trunk was documented in a magazine several years back along with the rest of the car. i know he got rid of the car some time before he passed away. I don't know who ended up with it.

in the the usual Moparts fashion someone always answers the question that wasn't asked. when they finally pass their head stone will more than likely be marked 'THIS IS NOT A FAKE HEADSTONE'.

Maybe not.

But when you ask the question & then show photo examples of newly printed sheets, it is something everyone should be aware of. twocents

Can’t speak for any vehicles before 1996 but every plant I visited from 1996 and after used travelers so line personnel could select proper items for the vehicle. One sheet was on the engine, one on the body, windshield, maybe a few more.
As the vehicle made its way down the line these sheets were stripped from the vehicle and thrown in the garage.

They were never intended to remain in the vehicle. They served no purpose outside the plants.

I'll add my two cents. I owned a 5,400 mile survivor Superbird, that I bought off the guy who bought it from the original selling dealer with 00012 miles on the odometer. That car came with every conceivable piece of paper work, including window sticker, 2 build sheets, warranty IBM punch card, advance shipping notice, shipping manifest, Chrysler to dealer invoice, MSO, and original title documents to the first buyer. There wasn't a "traveller sheet" included with all that paperwork.

This is not to argue with or dispute the claims of others above that say traveller sheets were put into cars at the assembly plant. Perhaps they were. I'm just saying that for a car that came with every piece of factory documentation that was saved by the original selling dealer, you would think this Superbird would have had it too. But it didn't.

I have a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda with its travelers sheet I found under the carpet behind the drivers seat. No, I had never seen one before when I found it in 2004. Fortunately I found a BS for the car, too. The travelers sheet is a thicker stock of paper than the BS with only the top line found on the BS. Interesting and cool to have but of little info. What I did find that was interesting was another BS for a 340 Dart with ‘H51’ written in black marker on the back and remnants of masking tape. I am assuming it was hanging in the car somewhere as it went down the line to tell the workers to make sure this 340 4spd fish gets A/C, too. I’ll add a pic of it when I get back to the house.

I know the original post asked about B & E bodies and this traveler card is out of an A body. Well, at least you can see what a real one looks like. Here are the pics of H51 deal, too.... not meaning to change the post just to show the story. The extra sheet is for LM23P9B235389. If you have it let me know. I’ll post this in the right place, too.
