magnetic spare key box

so i was changing my brakes today and noticed a small magnetic box with a spare door key in the front passenger wheel well. wish i had known that before when i had to wait an hour and a half for someone to bring me a spare after i locked my keys in the car. this box looks so ragged and old i thought it might have came with the car, anyone know if this is the case? its in the wheel well close to where the passengers feet would be

No original, but a not-unheard-of accessory back when these cars were new.

Aww damn, you got a box? My 83 Camaro had a set of keys twist-tied under the front bumper. Some people have all the luck.

Re: magnetic spare key box

Back in the 80's my parents used those under the hood near wiper arms and I hid my spare Camaro keys behind rear license plate (use penny to remove license plate screws).
This post got me wondering why I don't do that any more (I should be more absent minded now than when I was younger ).
