Comet Collector Keys & Key Chain
These keys were sold back in the 60's and 70's. They were fancy keys usually with the logo of the car you were driving right on them. This one is still in the package! I have another loose one that I am going to have cut to fit my car. I would love to find a copy of the trunk key with this same head on it. I know the package says 60 and I have a 61 but the "Comet" logo on the key is the same for both years.
Found another key in the package. I think this is a later key but still the same as the other. This one says it was made in Canada. Last but not least is the key chain with the logo on it! I have never seen another one of these!
Found yet another key in the package. Just like the other ones but sold by Taylor. |

Inside it show pictures of the Ford Consul, Taunus 12M, Taunus 17M Turnier Station Wagon, Fairlane 500, Galaxie, Thunderbird, and Comet. It is interesting that the Comet is listed as a Ford but the Monterey is listed at a Mercury.
Inside is a Ford concept car called the levacar.
It says THEN, NOW AND TOMORROW... Ford looks forward!
On the comet it says, "The most beautiful car in the compact class, luxurious and powerful as an American ... easy and convenient as a European - the car, which sturdy 6-cylinder power merges a profitable thrift!" |
