Re: Thief-proof (body dash) numbers

In continuing to analyze the 450+ just-received new vehicle delivery records, I find an interesting observation on the 48-51 Henney funeral vehicles. Based on the smallest of data samples thus far (only 3 vehicles), all are keyed alike, both door and ignition and to each other. Now I suppose it's likely that a single funeral home might like their fleet keyed in common, but I wouldn't have expected to find the same key #s on a delivery to another buyer. Just coincidence (Packard only used 250 different key numbers from about 1935 thru 1956)?

Any Henney owners out there that have their original key numbers? If so it would be interesting to see if they are also keyed the same.

EDIT: Thumbed ahead thru the pile looking for another Henney and found a delivery ticket for Southern Burial, also keyed the same as the prior 3. Looking less like a coincidence. I'd still like to hear from Henney funeral vehicles who know their key numbers!
