Haven't posted on this for a while. Lost all keys to my '53 120 FHC. Pete Groh is helping me work thru this.(I'm in L.A.) I have found a single key that actuates ignition, glove box, doors, and gas filler, but not trunk (which thankfully was not locked). Does that sound right? I thought I had 3 keys (before losing them). One was the little rectangular key, but I don't know what it operated. (way too many cars to keep up with) Ideas?
There is also a second keyed lock on the wheel skirts that I believe was added by the previous owner. I never had one of those square keys for the skirts, so I'm unsure why a keyed lock below the original or even how that would lock the actuating mechanism. Any ideas appreciated
Happy motoring,
jim ansley

In LA I use ACME lock & Key in Van Nuys, they will make keys to fit your locks if you take them the car (or just the locks). The added key is most likely an alarm system fitted a long time ago, I have one on a 140 but you should still have the mechanical lock!
