Re: [FWDLK] Aluminum Keys

[Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When new the 1955 and 56 Chrysler products came with two sets of keys, one 
set aluminum and one set chrome-plated brass, eight-sided for ignition/doors 
and triangle for trunk.  1957 and after had some brand-specific heads on the 
keys.  For example, 1957 Dodges had an equilateral trapezoid with crest for 
the ignition/door and round head with crest for the trunk.

I don't know if this is true for any other FWDLK'ers, but for the
1957+ Dodges (the key-styles/logos are identical)....there
are three different keys that have been made:

The OEM all-aluminum ones, the chromed-over-brass bodied
ones, and the all-steel ones.

The all-steel guys have been sold on the Evilpay, recently.

I've got examples of each style.
