No the keys were given to the masked man in the present day, who was breaking into the car. He gives you the crowbar for the keys.
I believe he meant the action needed to trigger the rain.
Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, floppy disks and dreaming of one day getting a huge 17" CRT monitor on a Pentium, that was my early teenage years.

To trigger the rain you needed the whole setup: gold, vinegar, and oil. The puzzle we were stumped at had nothing to do with that.

I thought you needed to wash the carriage? That was a bit obscure for me as a kid.
Yet to play this one. Recently played Full Throttle and it was great. I guess I have to go back and replay Maniac Mansion since the 90s?

It's not necessary to have played Maniac Mansion beforehand? I'll admit this has been my main hesitation. I remember when Monkey Island III was big in the late 90s, I was hesitant because I hadn't played the two games that came before it.
