You can always use one of those stick-on Ford emblems that are for doors to keep the keys from scratching the paint. But I'd prefer a nice pod/panel of some new "Trick" (Nick?) design out of aluminum or molded plastic. Or better yet, an ignition switch pod that fits on the steering column and uses the newer ('78 and later) style double sided key and comes with a matching set of door locks.
That's not too much to ask, is it? LOL
