Omg yes this is exactly what i've been looking for! How may I buy it from you?

Maybe I should try this, but first I think that i should have a better look on the lock and if a new cylinder may fit in, because of the damages... Maybe I did it wrong, but when googling these refereces, I cannot find anything suitable ?

Hi everyone! Working on my friend's 1954 Special, there are a few things to take care of : overheating issues in low speed conditions, engine cranking separated from the accelerator pedal, speedometer out of order, brake light etc... I'm currently looking for a solution about the trunk lock, he had to force it due to the fact that one day, he left the 2 keys inside... And closed it 😂 Anyways, here's the part that i'm looking for : It seems impossible to find one : on every vendors websites that I visited, there are only locks for '55-58 buicks. Thankd in advance for your kind help!

Hi everyone ! I'm Yann, 25 yo from Reims, France (Champagne !). I'm working as a night auditor in a luxury hotel since 2 years and quitting to become a photographer in the next months. I'm joining your community with the objective of sharing my experience (and issues...) in maintaining my friend's 1954 Buick Special that needs some attention. (translation : Look at the size of that steering wheel) So I hope that I can fin the parts and tips that will help me keep this Buick in good shape ! And then, here's my story with cars ! I'm somewhat a bit of a car guy since I got my driving licence, back in october 2017. I first bought a 2006 Ford Fiesta S, 1.6i gas engine. Kind of little toy to play with, 100hp (75kW), short gear ratio, ST-style bodyshop... Everything stock from factory. But soon after, I needed to find my childhood's car, that one special car that has written deep memories of the moments inside with my father driving during holidays : a Citroën XM. And I found one, in more or less good condition in Paris for a good price and high-end configuration. So, in April 2019, I bought my 1990 Citroën XM, 2.0i gas engine (130hp, 97kW), and a wonderful, revolutionary (and leaky) Hydractive suspension. Black leather interior, ABS, computer controlled A/C. This car is incredible. Just look at it, and you'll know why ! The red Pontiac is my dad's '79 Trans Am, Olds 403 and TH350. What a nice car to ride with, especialy in France, where people are not used to see that kind of pony cars ! He still has it, works nice. Well then, I wanted a car to go in holidays with, that had : gas and reasonably powerful engine - air conditioner - cruise control - good security - comfortable. And I just found an unexpected Renault Laguna, fitted with a 2.0i turbocharged gas engine, 170hp (125kW), leather (heated on driver and front passenger seats) and some other gadgets. Very nice car, useful for long holiday trips. Finaly, in november of last year, the Automotive museum of Reims director proposed me a car that was resting in the storage : a Renault 25 V6 from 1985 ! A real bargain considering its condition, and I loved the shape, so I bought it, and i'm still working on it, it has pretty much the same engine and injection system as the DMC-12 : a PRV V6 (Z7V) with K-Jetronic system. And that's all for me ! Thank you in advance for your welcome.
