I have never had this happen when I had my 54 Corvettes but a friend of mine has lost or whatever with his key to his 57 Vette and he is wondering how to get into the trunk without a key and tearing up the car to do it. He said he will take out the ignition and have a new key made but how do you get into the trunk?
I told him to have spare key made

Just try a few pre 66 keys first, most of the time you can find one that will turn it.

A locksmith?

I agree. The more old school the locksmith the better but still should be a piece of cake.

Mine opens with a screwdriver Not very secure.

Pass door lock cylinder has a number on it and a locksmith (old one) can cut a key from that.

Sometimes you just have to "suck it up" and get professional help. A locksmith will have you in there in 10 minutes with no damage. They have their own 'bag of tricks'....

Yep.. It's amazing how easy it is to pick a lock....

My buddy locked his keys in trunk of his vintage 67 Shelby, took 2 hours for locksmith to arrive, 10 minutes to unlock!

Back in the '60s I had a ring of about 10 keys that unlocked every GM product that was ever encountered. Perhaps an old time dealer in your area still has such a set sitting on shelf in a back room. Automotive locks weren't terribly sophisticated in that era and worn ones were even easier to open. Try a few other GM keys and a screwdriver in the keyway. If all that fails it is a simple task for a locksmith and you can even drive the car to him.

Thanks guys I will give him some of your tricks and see what happens. I told him to pay up and call a lock smith but he said it they can do it so can he. Time will tell.

I love those types; he'll save 50 bucks on a locksmith and spend $250 to fix whatever he f**ks up and be so proud he did it himself
