Hiding places in the B Body 88's
My Arlington Texas built '68 Goat had factory Fritos bags and Dr. Pepper cans stashed in the driver's door.
I found an extra set of keys bolted to a magnet and stuck up inside the air cleaner snorkel on my Vista, it was a good stash spot.
A guy that used to work for my old man had a big old furd van and would set whatever illegal parepahnalia or substance he wanted to stash on the roof when he got stopped and the cops never saw it, and good old Sluggo was a cop magnet.
He was always smiling??
Had a junk Talladega Torino too.
When I worked at one gas station in a very not so good neighborhood a guy with a Ninety-Eight came chugging in with a flat tire and no jack.
When he opened the trunk so we could get the flat spare out it stunk to high heaven.
I wouldn't even touch that spare, everything was all slimy.
The guy calmly said he had been carrying around a side of beef in there and forgot about it.

I know nothing...I smell nothing... I see nothing.
Those guys all drove with a Colt 45 40 between their legs and a .38 in that black leather zip-up bible case they always carried around.

LOL about the wagon, tell me about it. Personally, I wouldn't keep any hidable substances INSIDE the car. Well, actually, on the passenger side, under the dash, there is a nice lip that extends an inch out. It also lips up, so nothing can fall out. Thusly, that's one good spot that no one will look. Plus, with something up there, even looking up through there, a cop aint gonna find anything.
I'm a fan of keeping things in tight spaces on the chassis, or in the fenders under the hood. Cops aren't all that dumb, but I think the headliner, the glovebox, under the seat, etc, are all dead giveaways.

The door armrests slide on and off, if you remove the 2 screws in the hand pull.
It's a sliding tab connection. The steering wheel plastic surround with the horn buttons in it, is hollow as well.

If you watch the move The French Connection the antagonist stashes illegal narcotics in the car between the floor and floor pan. The car is a late 70s Lincoln; however, I'm sure you could stash something in the same place on an Oldsmobile.
In the movie Easy Rider the protagonists stash money in a capped off vinyl tube. They then force the vinyl tubing into their gas tank so it isn't discovered when they cross the border.

About 10 years ago I was working at a car audio shop installing a CD changer in a cutlass that was all gangstered out. I had to run the wire from the head unit to the changer in the trunk. I removed the kickpanel on the drivers side and what do ya know a shiney .38!!!! I neatly routed the wire around the gun, without touching it, then replaced the kick panel. The funny part was I drove it out of the shop when the guy picked it up and he gave me a $20. I think that was the only tip I ever recieved...lmao
IIRC check out the movie "Thief" starring James Caan - they had "work" cars w/ hinged compartments that opened out of the door panels. Pretty cool.
Sorry, but I have no answer to contribute for your actual question!

Had a 55' f-100 pickup when I was young and dumb. The battery mounted under a trap door in the cab floorboard. Relocated the battery under the hood - fabbed a box to fit in the old opening -covered with the carpet.
We finally found my uncle Murray down under the rear seat cushion . We always told him not to slouch so much, but no, he never listened. The good news is that, while we were in there, we also found over 2 dollars in change.
