OLD CAR

[Lee No.2]

i have a customer who wants10 keys cut for a 1958 Studebaker

 

any ideas chaps?

I belive the old american cars, like the brit cars of this era, used only 4 or 5 differnt blanks. Very limited sections as I recall.

 

I won't suggest you look in your catalogue though, thats worth a beating

Hi there,

 

Has your customer actually shown you the key yet?

 

Chances are it's not as obscure as you might think.

 

I am almost sure that Studebaker were swallowed up by Chrysler. So check your catalogues under the Chrysler section. You may also find that some of the Americal General Motors blanks are a possibility.

 

If you can get a picture of the key I feel sure I can help. Being into the American vehilce scene myself I have contact with numerous American vehicle parts suppliers.

Keith is quite right in what he says there.

 

Only difference is the keys used in the 50's in the USA were still being used well into the 90's !!
