Dolly's Treasure Revealed

There is an advantage to having more than one Fintail. I inserted the key that is for Dolly's trunk/glove box into the Emerald Bullet's glove box and it fit in the hole. With confidence that I have the right key, I went back to Dolly and wiggled the key in with some force. I got the cylinder to turn and the glove box opened. The fifty year old lubricant is gummy. I removed the lock to clean and lubricate it.




There was treasure in the Glove Box. The original owner kept a log of mileage and maintenance. I am going to read through it later. He was an Air Force veteran who was trained to keep logs and disciplined about keeping the entries.



A Treasure chest would not be complete without maps! There were two maps of San Antonio and one of Central Texas from the 1960s.



Next task is to clean and lubricate the lock assembly and re-install it.

Stay tuned...
