Re: IML: I just bought another lost puppy home

Lucky you tom!

Great car! Lot's of parts for your new aquistion over at Lowell Howe's
place. You can find his info here:

But, you'll find a bunch of great guys here:

To get into the trunk, remove the back seat. It comes out just like your
other MoPaRs. Remove the lower cushion by pushing in on it. It should come
unhooked and pull it up and out. That will expose two bolts holding the
upper cushion in. Once the upper cushion is in, you should be able to use a
long slender screwdriver on the lock mechanism to unlatch it. Look a the
mechanism on your NewYorker for guidance. Shouldn't be too much different.

The ignition key is different than the trunk key.
