I have 2 '66 SS's. Most of the keys appear to be more modern duplicates, but one trunk key seems like it could be an original. It has the knock-out intact with the lock number stamped on it. Molded on one side is, "Briggs & Stratton Corporation, Milwaukee, Wis. USA". The other side reads, "GM Your Key To Greater Value".
Interesting trivia. Never knew about this. Thanks for bringing it up.
