Looking for Original NOS door/trunk key A1142
Anybody have any original NOS keys, no. A1142. This is for the trunk on our 1930 Coupe. I broke the original key this morning. I had the fumigation company out today to tent our house for termites. Thought I would leave the car in the garage to be fumigated as well. One requirement was, I had to unlock the trunk to show them I was not hiding anyone in the car. Well, as luck would have it, I broke the key and the outer portion of the lock cylinder (need lock cylinder too). Any help is much appreciated. This is a really nice unrestored, low mileage original car that I am trying to keep all original.
Thank you, Scott |

May I also suggest that once the NOS is received you use a "modern" key for everyday use as original keys are expensive.

Contact A & L Parts Specilaties 860-693-0112.
They can cut you keys by using the code number and can cut the key on a very nice repro blank (that looks very good) or a modern style blank (that is very economical for keeping some spares). They will take phone orders and take charge cards. Hundreds of us Model A guys have dealt with them over the years and they are top notch. John John |
