A box or ring wrench, that's one that fits right around the nut, not just on two faces. A lot more pressure can be applied with these wrenches. -I sometimes even slip a 2 foot length of steel pipe over mine to get more leverage.

How do you get locking lug nuts off a 1989 Ford Thunderbird if you do not have a lug wrench in the car?

I would try using a penetrant spray like Liquid Wrench and some vise grips. Or if you don't have vise grips, try using a Pipe Wrench, the same type used for plumbing. Good Luck! Got to be kidding....a pipe wrench???? Just take your car to a tire shop and they have a special socket that will remove the locking lug nut. After they remove all 4 of them, go to the auto parts store of your choice and purchse replacement standard lug nuts.
