Cool keychains. Post yours here

Here are some of the back designs

Now that I am looking closely at some of them that I have, they do not all have cereal numbers included. So, going back to my original guess, they must have gotten the addresses of the key owners from the license plate number.

Yes. My dad had a few of those for his 66 mustang.
He explained to me they were sent in the mail (obviously with his address) with the tag with his very license plate printed on it.

Most of my keychains have been previously shown as part of this thread. I have cobbled together some display boards for them. Every keychain on these boards has one or two original Mopar keys on them. Almost every keychain on the Hodges board has some relation to Mopar

Every letter the DAV sent out contained a pair of the mini plates. You can see the instructions on the backs of the four plates, Guaranteeing postage. The story I heard is that in 1968, because of the donations dwindling, instead of sending the plates out to millions of people for that year, the DAV only sent the plates to people who made a donation first. That is why the 1968 plates are as rare as hens teeth.

My dad's car was a '66. I think he saved them all. And only had a couple. ... well that makes sense.
 
I walked into an insurance agent's office to get car insurance when I moved to Seattle and the agent asked me for the title. I looked at her and said why? I need your VIN she replied. I rattled it off at her without blinking an eye. She just stared at me for a long time. What's wrong I asked. She says "I've been selling insurance for 18 years and no one has ever done that before".

I laughed. My wife laughed.
I still remember the VIN for a 1984 Isuzu Impulse that I owned in the late 80s. I was at my buddy's tranny shop with the car one time to get some work done and he needed the VIN. While he was getting it from the tag on the dash, I rattled it off to him. He gave me that stare and said that I was pretty close. I informed him that I was exactly right. His response was that I must have no life if I am memorizing VINs.
