Panic? Yes!

This car is a 120-C convertible coupe. It has a glove box lock and a trunk and rumble seat compartment lock.
I never used any but the ignition key. I believe I had 4 keys with round heads, and another key or two, which may have been for a locking gas cap which the car may have had at one time. The glove box lock looks easy to get at. How difficult is it to remove the door handle, and do the lock cylinders have numbers on them? Does anyone have a bunch of Packard keys on a large ring? The Chevrolet dealer here used to have a about 60 keys on a ring, and I could find a key on it that would fit most GM cars from around 1950 up into the 1960s. I seen to remember that they told me about 1 in 20 keys would usually fit most GM cars of that era. ( I know of no other Packard owners in this immediate area)
