They changed it in '90 and went to one [square] key for ignition and doors and one (round) key for trunk and glovebox.
edit: This is for civi cars. The police cars could probably still be ordered special like Mainemaintom mentioned.Last edited by VicCrownVic; 06-27-2019, 08:33 AM.Vic

Later on they went to a single key. They provided a valet key (won't work the Trunk & Glove) for limited access. How many people still have the valet key, not many.03 Marauder DPB, HS, 6disk, Organizer Mods> LED's in & Out, M&Z rear control arms, Oil deflector, U-Haul Trans Pan, Blue Fuzzy Dice

I think single key started around 1995. I've seen early Aeros with the two key system.
I've still got the valet key for the '97. It's just legitimately a little thicker than the normal keys and won't go into the glove box lock or trunk lock cylinders.

Can verify the early aero part. My 93 has the round key for the trunk.
