Seems about right. I figure tge 90 keys with 91 emblem were just replecments that made it into the parts network.

I'm not certain of that. My car came with two original keys and both have Black Backgrounds with Red outline bowtie. I have Purchased yellow/gold background ones on the secondary market. This is what drove me to ask the question.

Mine is '90# 442. Built Oct. 13, 1989. One of the keys I have I am pretty certain is original to the car. The bowtie is a red outline with a black background.
I don't know the answer to this dilemma. Maybe there is not one? ![]()

At nearly 29 years I guess it maybe 'doesn't matter' !!

That would be my thought. I doubt that anyone tracked the color of the power key by serial number.
They are so small I have to put my "cheater" glasses on to tell for sure which one it is!! ![]()

A curiousity I suppose. But one key is correct and one is incorrect for some cars, despite the fact that they both function. |

[QUOTE=spork2367;283823]There certainly is an answer. At some point they stopped making one key and started making the other. Due to the later keys being the black and red, it would make sense that the gold red were the earlier keys.
I would think one would not need an extrodinary education to make the above statement. Would you please enlighten us as to when and with which number car the change was made? I am sure it will relieve stress on a lot of us if you will just release the secret. Not fair for you to be the only one with the answer! Just for everyone's enlightenment: Word forms: contrarians countable noun [oft N n] A contrarian is a person who deliberately behaves in a way that is different from the people around them. ![]()

I own VIN 2124 and have owned VIN 2529. These would be in my estimation later cars. Both had the gold inserts. #2529 was judged by NCRS at a regional and national level. No one questioned the gold/red bowtie on the power key. I am not so naive to think that the key design didn't change. I believe the black/red bowtie keys were service replacements made available by GM as the "D" key after the 1990 MY stock expired.
