A hammer works well.

Just kidding, last time I locked the keys in the car I pried the window back just enough to get a rod down there to unlock it. A slim jim didn't work for my car but hey doesn't hurt to try.

If your car is an SA/FB, if you have a friend or someone you know with another first gen. try thier key. Alot of the older cars key tumblers get worn and any other FB/SA key will work.

thanks guys for the help got it unlocked with a slim jim took about 30 seconds just position the slim jim over the key hole then wiggle it down till it stops then push down and it unlocks maybe not that easy if you have power locks the car is an 88 base model lol i would never break the glass unless it was an emergency.
