Contact your dealer with the VIN#. You should be able to get duplicate keys from them without any problems

Just think, someone can copy your VIN off your dash and then go to a dealer and get a key cut.

I sure hope they ask to see the ownership or something!!!

99.9% of the time they will ask you proof of insurance with your name on the insurance card or your relation to the VIN# of the car

I ran into the same problem when I had my 68. I called a Locksmith and he came over, got into the car, removed the cylinder and made a key that worked perfectly. They have the technology!
