I’m sensing a late 70’s early 80’s LTD.
My '88 Escort GT had keys just like this.
Having a separate key for the trunk was very common historically, not sure why.
Off topic, but reminder to everyone who needs it, close up photos of keys is a security problem. With relatively little training you can recreate a key from a photo. If you know the person who posted the photo, that’s an easy target.
I thought the first part was so that you could give a valet the keys to park and retrieve your car, but not easily get to your belongings.
You’re not wrong, but if you really want to understand how fucked the past was, until about a decade ago you could go on eBay and buy a key that would open and start almost any police vehicle. https://youtu.be/ktelkO-d1o4
This was common for a long time. I have no idea why.
One is the valet key. It should only work to turn on the engine and open the door.The other key should work for the trunk, the glove box, the door, and to start the car.you see how the pin layout is similar? There actually two sets of pins to allow different keys to work on one lock. That’s how the school janitor’s master key works for all the doors.Edit: My mistake. All my info is wrong. Please ignore. Leaving it here so others can learn from my mistake or so people don’t wonder what got deleted.
The warding profile is different.
Look at the slide sections, they’re mirrored, they won’t fit in each other locks.
Just like my wife.
