It's got an Oldsmobile special engine tag on it that stumped the oldsmobile club president (according to the previous owner).

This morning I found a 1942 half dollar below the seat.

Time to see if ace hardware can copy the ignition key...EDIT: they had the right blank...more surprisingly I tried the ignition key in the driver's door and it just worked...Then I put some graphite powder in and it played dead again for a while before coming back. The passenger lock was much more stubborn. I had to play with it for a good 5 minutes and it only came around after some PB blaster. Both door locks seem to work consistently now...If it's good tomorrow I may start locking it at night.
