29commander Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I OWN A 1929 COMMANDER MODEL FD. I PURCHASED IT WITH OUT THE IGNITON KEY. THE ON OFF LEVER WORKS GOOD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO A CERTIFIED LOCKSMITH AND HE HAS FAILED TO MAKE A KEY FOR IT. SO I AM LOOKING TO PURCHASE A NEW CYCLINDER WITH KEY OR AT LEAST ONE THAT WORKS. ALSO INSTURCTRIONS ON REPLACING THE CYCLINDER. ANY HELP OUT HERE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) It's called a Hershey lock. Several cars used them. Some parts use to be available. They are difficult and expensive to find now. A good locksmith can cut the key without taking it apart. CAUTION - its made of die cast pot metal, and will break and fail if not handled very gently.
