key # or code on 59 coupe?

[Joe Meneghin]

Probably wishful thinking on my part,  but is there a key code somewhere on this car.  Did they even do that back then?  I have all four cylinders from a 59 coupe and would like to use them on my 60 convertible if possible.  And forgive the newbie question, but Im guessing that the ignition, doors and trunk were two different keys?


Thanks in advance.

Door and ignition lock numbers are stamped on the shank of the door lock handles. You need to remove them to see the code. Otherwise you need a key de-coder. The manual gives PASCO as an example tool.

Thanks George.  Just want to clarify, the ignition ley # is stamped on the door handle as well?

[George]

The original ignition key, should unlock the doors also. Therefore the same code applies. The trunk and glove compartment keys should also match each other. The trunk lock code is stamped on the trunk lock cylinder. If you have had the ignition switch renewed, you need the key de-coder. Or a new ignition lock.

Looking at one of the mail order catalogs I have here, you just saved me about $130.  Thanks you very much.
