RE: [Chrysler300] Trunk and Glove Box Locks on a C

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

Strictly a guess, but I believe the switch from three keys to two was made
in 1955.  I know my '50 and '51 Chryslers had three aluminum keys and that
they were pretty badly worn.  Knowing the year Chrysler 300 keys switched
from aluminum to nickel-plated brass would be of interest and appropriate
grist for this mill.  I believe the keys that came with my '61 and '63
Chryslers were plated brass.

buying his set, but he found that the trunk and glove box locks are
different from each other on that car as well. Is this typical of all '57s
or are they supposed to be keyed the same?

When I bought my white 300-C in 1970 it still had the 2 original 
aluminum keys, doors and ignition, glove box and trunk
