My everyday keychain is the 6.5 logo. I take the key off the start the car so it doesn't scratch up my dash.

A few years ago I snagged a leather key pouch for the dealer my car came from. $3 on eBay and I haven't seen another since. The Ft. Worth location closed in '71 I believe.



I've been into collecting stuff from the GM Arlington plant recently. I have a couple stickers and patches. I'm interested because my car was built there, but also because I spent a few years of my youth in Arlington and remember driving by that factory a bunch of times. I grabbed this keychain from the 10th anniversary of the plant off eBay recently.





On my list to find is a 25th anniversary keychain from the plant in 1979. Growing up, we had one in our junk drawer we got when we took a tour of the plant. I vaguely remember that tour too.

That's some cool stuff.
I was thinking of getting this one, but too spendy. If I had a high end resto or something, I might buy it.

My daughter sent me the link to the website. I'd never heard of etsy but apparently its a thing.

I have a permanent EBay search going. Every time something from my GTO’s original dealership goes up for sale I get a message. I got this a few years back for my GTO keys.

Same here - I keep getting vintage pics of the dealership owner, but the good stuff is few and far between.

Thumbs up

Some keychains/rings I've found/used over the years, nothing special.
Just some new and old, odds & ends.

That sounds kinda like what came with the Grand Prix.

No embossments or lettering on it.

I just have a row of hooks in the hall closet with a pair of keysets for each car. Have some fobiks with insignia but mostly just ignition, trunk, and house key. Now have two cars the fobik never leaves my pocket.

I am quite partial to this style, or older dealership ones.

I do too. It was given to me several years ago by an elderly salesman who was with the same family owned dealership nearly 50 years, until his recent passing.

I’m enjoying this key chain/ring thread, a lot of history.
