I don't know of another car that has a trunk but no way to unlock it with key. Strange, huh?



The 1954 Truimph TR2 had a trunk with no lid or key!

You're close but there is a specific formula to figure it out. Can you tell me what that formula is?

Not the ones I'm looking for Todd. I am not sure that you are wrong but there is two specific ones I found listed.  One is very visible and one is pretty much invisible. The invisible one is not in the engine, trans or diff in case you were thinking gears, cam etc.

Not my first choice in Dodge's, that's for sure!
