1960 lost my trunk key

[76eldo]

It's a very long from the rear bulkhead to the trunk latch.  You would need about a 4 foot screw driver to try to engage the slot and turn the latch.  The shaft coming from the key side of the latch already occupies that space.

If it's original there are three Phillips screws holding in the latch and it's not going to just fall out of the trunk it closed.

Picking the lock by a locksmith would have been the best method but drilling it out and replacing it works too. He just got a cheap repro part instead of a quality item as you would expect from a known vendor.

Moral is make extra keys when you get a car because sometimes these things happen.
