Crystal keys for FS 1982 Imperial

Post by chrycoed »

Hello all. Can anyone recommend where to purchase a crystal key for my 82 F/S Imperial please? It has gone missing from the box of trinkets the former owner gave me and I can't seem to find on online.

I recently purchased the car after selling my 1973 Imperial 4 door last year. I miss that car, but with parking room being a problem as well as winter storage a downsized coupe is going to have to do.

The biggest similarity of both cars is the blue tufted leather seats. Both very good looking and comfortable. Any leads on a key blank seller is greatly appreciated!

I'm not even sure what the 82 crystal keys look like. Can you find a picture on google somewhere and share it? I can go search around if I know what I'm looking for.

BTW - Nice interior!

They are "Cartier Crystal" keys. Once I made that my search I was able to find repro's

The 1973 and 1982 blue leather is very similar. But the 1982 is a Mark Cross "Glacier Blue" to match Frank's eye's.

Lovely 1973 in Black with blue leather. One of the best Fuselage era cars left.

I think I have a whole box of those keys. Do you have the key number to make sure? I could mail you one in an envelope if it's the right one.
