What is a key hole doing on the side of a Stingray Corvette?

Question:
I have a 76 Corvette, and on the body there is a key hole where the stingray emblem is, which is right above the driver side front tire. I noticed it and wondered what it was for. Design or something else. Any crazy help would be cool.
