Push Button Start

A keyed ignition/starter switch is a fantastic invention. I don't understand why anyone would want something different.

I remember all sorts of foolishness

We had a was it a Stude? pickup, had the starter on the bottom of the clutch travel.

Our '54 Nash Ambassador you pulled the shifter knob up towards the wheel

Some old rigs (GM?) you floorboarded the throttle

Old Ford (Gramps '40) had a mechanical column lock, with a toggle switch built into the column, and a push button on the dash

Hell, I'm behind times. Finally discovered that some of the key-start outboards you push the key in to activate the solenoid operated choke. Our old 35 Johnson was simply 2 buttons.........start, and choke. You held the choke in to kill it
