From: Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: IML: plastic golden lion emblems 1960Also I would like to find some original keys that would fit an ignition switch, that I also needOriginal 196o Imperial keys are gold-anodized aluminum. They are unavailable unless you're ready to spend $300-$500 for a set (I was) and are prepared to camp out on ebay for a few years to duke it out with everyone else IF they come up. You'll want the matching golden trunk key as well.
I kept the original aluminum keys from my '62 when it was wrecked, and discovered to my amusement and pleasure that they fit my '69! Sure, they aren't right for the year, but I like using them anyway. I suppose an alternate plan might be going around to junkyards and seeing if any of their cars have the originals, and they fit your car. I've found that old lock shops often have blanks in the pattern of late '50s - early '60s Dodges (the 'boomerangs' logo). They aren't right for an Imperial, but at least they look old and are from the right manufacturer. I've used them for spare sets for my Imperials in the past.
