Another great addition gleaned from the Hemmings Auto Blogs:




"while looking up Key American on Steven Clark’s 1983 AMC master dealership list, we came across the above nameplate from “Bob Dilmore’s Key American.” You’d think a nameplate like that would have been a golden opportunity to cast it in the shape of a key.

Anyway, the dealership was still around in 1983, and from the address of 8301 Lomas Blvd. N.E., we can determine that the site is still a dealership, though it’s home to Garcia Honda nowadays. Still, from the proximity of the building to the road, maybe Key American’s building still stands at the core of Garcia Honda?"

Looks to have been a thriving dealership.

That's a name I remember from the boneyards around Arizona and California.  They did have a chrome foil sticker at one point that was shaped like the key on the sign.
