Re: [DML] Door Keys

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

VIN's prior to 4200 came from the factory with a 2-key system. One 
key for the door, a different one for the ignition. From 4201 
forward, the same key was for both the door and ignition.

As Mike Babb mentioned, we've got a couple hundred pre-cut door keys 
for the early cars in Houston, organized by key cutting code. The bad 
part is there is only a very small corresponding list of VINs to tell 
which key goes with each car. The key code was usually written in 
magic marker under the headliner of the drivers door, something like 
WR5010 or similar.

We are having the lighted head style key blanks remade to go along 
with the existing reproduction molded head key blanks we already sell.
