Cadillac's attention to detail has been extended to
the two keys that unlock a new world of motoring
pleasure. The combination ignition-front door key is
rectangular in shape with the distinguished Cadillac
crest on one side and the GM Mark of Excellence on
the other—further visual evidence that Cadillac and
quality are one and the same. The second key,
which unlocks the glove compartment and trunk, is
easily differentiated from the ignition-front door key
by its oval shape. This key also carries the Cadillac
crest and GM Mark of Excellence.

This new system will effectively lock the steering
wheel, transmission and ignition switch in one
operation to help thwart auto theft. Steering wheel,
selector lever and ignition switch locks are integrated
into a single, key-operated unit that is conveniently
located on the steering column. The ignition key
simultaneously operates all three locks and can be
turned to any one of five positions—ACCESSORY,
LOCK, OFF, RUN, START. Grasping the tabs on the
ignition switch and turning to the full clockwise
position, START, cranks the engine. Once the engine
is running, the ignition switch returns to the RUN
position. The first clockwise position, OFF, is for
turning off the ignition without removing the key.
The full counterclockwise position is ACCESSORY
and is for operating the accessories with ignition off.
Locking the car is accomplished by placing the
gearshift lever in PARK, turning the ignition key to
LOCK and removing the key. When this is done, the
car cannot be started, towed or steered. The ignition
key warning system will continue for 1969, sounding
a buzzer when the left front door is opened with the
key in the ACCESSORY, LOCK or OFF position,
reminding the driver to remove the key.
