Yes, the durability of some of these things is exceptional. I kinda had to chuckle at myself after I brought the '63 home. The PO told me that the trunk key was someplace in the car. We scoured the car thoroughly, but found no key. I was tempted to send my 10 year old through the back seat to check the trunk, but she had already commented on the spiders and mouse droppings she'd seen... I didn't even ask!
After two weeks and much deliberation, I drilled the trunk lock. Still no key.
The chuckle came a day ot two later when I noticed a silver button in the glove box... I pressed it as I thought "What's this?" Of course, the trunk popped open.

Dear Ken
This is true and will their power options still be working in 36 years
time?, will their car still be working, I think not.
My 63 convertible ( the other car) also has power trunk release, main
windows, seat, door locks all still working nearly 40 years later!.
What colour is your car Ken? my 66 coupe is black paint and vinyl top with
black interior in other words triple black!.
