Here are the two ways I have always entered GM vehicles 60'/70;s/80's without a trunk key :
First....If you look just below the lock itself (between the trunk lid & the tail panel), can you see the bottom of the 2 fingered clip that holds the lock in? It will have a single rivet head showing (if that area is open slightly). If you can see that rivet head use a flat screwdriver & a hammer to knock the head off the rivet. You can them pry down on the clip about a half an inch. You will then be able to pull the lock out of the trunk lid, The flat rod will also come out with the lock. stick the flat screw driver in the slot that was vacated by that flat rod & turn clockwise to open the trunk.
2nd way....Take out the lower & upper back seat, remove the cardboard that blocks noise coming in to the passenger compartment from the trunk. Shine your light to the area where the trunk lock is, you will see (3) 1/2 bolt heads in a triangular shape. Put a bunch or ratchet extensions together with a socket on the end & ratchet out those 3 bolts. That removes the latch from the trunk lid & it will then open up on its own!
I have used these methods probably hundreds of times as I used to sell body parts & took many off in "pull it yourself" junk yards down south. The 1st is the easiest IF there is access (some have it some don't)
Good Luck!

Hi, I bought a 1971 Buick riviera that was missing a key entry lock smith in the rear. I am wondering if someone can guide me on how to open another way? Thank you
My 71 Buick Riviera leaking gas
in Technical
Posted
My riviera has been in the garage for the past week. I drove it last week with no problem. Today when I turned it on, it is leaking an enormous amounts of gas from somewhere under the engine bay. I checked the fuel filter, and the gas lines from the upper area. Also not the gas tank because the leak is coming from under the engine somewhere.
