Replacement keys for '39 Plymouth

[likaleica]

Please does anyone know where I can get replacements for lost keys for my 1939 Plymouth Sedan ? The dealer I bought the car from lost all the keys while storing it for me for a couple of months. I've found the number 652 stamped on the ignition lock barrel, which is labelled Bosch (surely not original for an American car ??) The door and trunk locks don't seem to have any numbers. I want to avoid changing all the locks so I'd really welcome any information on what series keys these Chrysler cars had, and anyone who can cut keys from the locks themselves.

Thanks guys.

Might be worth posting on the American Cars forum in PH? They might know more about it over there.

You need to register on the P15 forum.

Wealth of knowledge and help on there for mid-30's to early 50's MOPAR's, although I suspect form your description of a Bosch ignition lock barrel, the locks have been replaced at some point already which means you're probably going to have to do so again.

Thanks aeropilot - I signed up with the P15 forum as you suggested and the response I've had is amazing! Someone has even offered to ship the very difficult to find switch to me at a very reasonable price. The forum is clearly going to be very useful.
