Exactly how many different keys does GM make for its vehicles?

Exactly the right amount?

What a stupid open ended question.

It was poorly worded. I produce a talk show and a caller had stated that GM
only makes a certain amount of keys for all their different models. My host
wanted to know how many different types of keys they make to fit their
vehicles. The caller had suggested that some models from different divisions,
say the Chevy Blazer and it's GMC counterpart, had a similarly designed key
or key makeup. Sorry if my terminology is incorrect. But basically basically
we were trying to find out if that's true and if it is how many different
keys or key styles are made.

So contact a GM PR person.

I don't have a clue today, but years ago, it was common to take the key from
a 55 Chevy and find it fits in a 58 Olds or other GM car. I'm sure that has
improved with technology of keys and locks.

Exactly two.
One for the ignition
and one for the trunk.

Ummm. As far back as I can remember (1950's), on my GM cars "one" key
operated the doors, ignition and the trunk.

Think for a sec, one square for ignition and a round one for the trunk.

Boy o' boy. It's hell to get old. Well at least the last several GM's have
needed only one key.

Thanks for straightening out an old feeble minded geezer!

Unless you have a newer model. My '96 Bonnie has 2 keys, but my '01 Montana
has 1.
