Window sticker and build sheets

I expect everyone saved their window sticker, but what about the build sheets?
I have restored some '60s cars and their value is dramatically increased if you have
the original build sheets.
The factory used to insert them in the springs of the back seat when the build was complete.
When I restored my '63 Split Window I tore the car apart looking for them, but they were gone.
I had dealer pull mine and keep for me.

original build sheets.

FYI. Actually, each unit has a dozen, or more build sheets. In plant, they're called "the teletype".
The seats were built in the "cushion room". Once finished, they're placed in a bucket, or tray that takes them to the assembly line. It's in the cushion room where the sheet is placed in the seat spring, so it can be mated to the right car, bearing an exact teletype. Many of them survived because the seat installer didn't tear it out, even tho he was supposed to. Every engine had one on it too, before the mating. So did transmissions, dashboards, etc etc.
There would be at least 4 at all times on the outside. One on every corner.
If you ever get a chance to walk the line with your build, you could get them all.
