He had a couple dozen pilot house trucks there. All gone now, I heard about the crushing of vehicles going on but by the time I got there all the Dodges were gone. That happened all over the place. There's nothing to be found here in Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While working in Pasadana for a year I stopped by a locksmith shop and hand them rekey the door lock to match and make a couple of new spare keys. Unfortunately the new keys have the Ford logo on them. Years ago while on a working trip to Wisconsin I stopped by a local junk yard and while browsing the many Dodge trucks I found this key holder with key laying on the floor. Oddly enough the ignition switch was missing. At that point I decided to liberate the orphan switch What I found most interesting was the key holder itself. I remember seeing people using holders like this when I was a kid back in the 60s. Brad Being a part of this Dodge group of owners never seizes to amaze me. I told Brad I grew up in Clintonville so he sent me the key chain. That was very touching to me and it will be cherished. I am on the Board of Directors for the Clintonville historical society. I will take it to the next meeting to see if anyone knows any history on it. I’ve been asking around, nobody remembers it. We have a very nice newsletter put out every three months and I’m going to ask the publisher to put a picture in there to see if anybody recalls the business. Thanks again Brad, Hopefully I can pay it forward someday to you. Todd B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the key holder is now in the right hands and I'm glad you're going to try and find a little history about it. I'm looking forward to what you might find out Brad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
