These have to be the stupidest looking things out there! And for 48.95? What's the other $48.94 for??? I'm all for accessories but I just don't see the point here.

I'm reasonably certain that's not an original Packard accessory key but an aftermarket item of later years. Better buy is one of the genuine ones (crest-shaped head) for about $10 or $15.

I do like that they are color-coded and labeled, but don't think they're worth that much, to me, since there are other good, lower priced keys available. I do sometimes have trouble remembering which set of keys go to which car (presently 8 cars) and a different looking set, like that, would help.

Where do you buy the "genuine ones (crest-shaped head) for about $10 or $15".

I've seen them for sale on eBay but couldn't find any there now. Don't remember what the price was. I don't think they can be called 'genuine' tho, since they are modern aftermarket also. See my previous post with link, for 'genuine'. wink
