Re: IML: 50's key blanks

["Chad & Teresa Smith" <hemi_powered@xxxxxxx>]

Hello there:

 

Not sure where you live, but in my town, there is a locksmith who has been in business since the 1930s here.  He has everything.  I had ornate gold keyblanks for my Imperial, DeSotos, and Plymouths (all 1955 to 1959), and he not only cut my ornate keyblanks, but was able to make me duplicates with keyblanks that he had still.  Try scouring your area and outlying areas for locksmiths that have been in business for many, many years.  I have found that many of them advertise in the yellow pages how long they have been in business, and this may help in your search.  Also, George Laurie is right, there are a number on Ebay, and frequently you will see them up for auction there.

Subject: IML: 50's key blanks

Hello Club-

 

Does anyone know of a source for key blanks for a 55 Imp? They don't need to be original style as long as they can be cut to the one existing set I have. I have mis-placed  my one set on occasion, and this is a real potential problem.. None of the local locksmiths can supply a blank. The original keys seem to be made of light weight aluminum .
