Title: 1955 WILLYS CUSTOM 4 DR. KEYS
Post by: glennstin on February 01, 2022, 10:50:37 AM

I have this '55 Willys Custom parts car with no keys. I do have all the original paperwork including "WILLYS OWNERS SERVICE POLICY" as made out to the 1955 purchaser showing the key numbers C-426 and C-346.  I'm not concerned about these numbers being out and about as this car isn't going anywhere.  It's just that I'd like to have the original locks for parts.  Are any of our readers lock familiar to tell me if I can get keys cut to those numbers and where to send for them?

A good locksmith can cut off these "bitting" numbers as he (or she) knows how to set the key machine cutters off the numbers you have.  Places like wal-mart can only make copies of existing keys as their machines simply "follow" the original key with the grooves and high points.
