Default Recommendations for ignition key replacement

The Vicky has a pop out ignition, but only 1 well, well worn key.

Do you guys have recommendations for someone who can cut an original style key?

Also, door lock won't hardly turn -- even after graphite squirted into lock. (Has separate key, doesn't work with ignition key) Recommendations?

A & L Parts in Ct. can handle the ignition key. You can also ask them for advise on the door lock key. Locks were made with pot metal, many of which did not hold up well.

Thanks Larry! I'm down with pneumonia and until I can see daylight again, I won't be doing anything on the Vicky for probably another week. I will get ahold of you later!

Dick Crabtree took care of my Pop Out, and also keyed my door lock to match my ignition.

Dick Crabtree has all the original stuff for your Model A locks and ignition. He can fix you right up.

Dick has done all the pop-out ignition and door lock work for all my cars. Excellent work, fast service at a very fair price.
