Chryslers at Carlisle 2023 who is going

-
Are all the blanks that silver (nickel-plated?) finish? I vaguely recall my grandmother's Chrysler having factory keys (I distinctly remember the Pentastar) with a different finish...maybe a sort of bronze or brass?
All of Chrysler's keys were actually sub contracted out to Brigg & Stratton. Yes, the lawnmower people.
B&S subleted work out to two other key makers, American Key & Lock (Curtis), and Yale.
All the keys were nickle plated brass, however, it seems some of the Yale and Curtis keys weren't as heavily plated.
I've seen hundreds of keys that the nickel plating has worn off of, almost always, the primary or ignition key.
BTW, Mopar still has B&S producing their keys. They have an entire key divsion called Strat Tech. They do keys for many brands.
I buy my keys directly from them. I have to buy insane #'s, but mine are all high quality and use original mopar tooling.

I live in Eastgate. If you could put a pair back for me I can pick them up at the show or get with you this week. Whatever works best for you. Thanks, Craig
I'm headed to Carlisle Wednesday.
If you want to meet me sometime, we can do that.
I'll send you a PM with my info.
 
Spent the rainy day getting the girls ready
