I remember a push button starter like that. Don’t recall the make or year though. My dad had a push button transmission in his Fury (early 60s).

I loved the little indian head high beam indicator in the old Pontiacs.

I was going to say that I recall as a kid some old cars - by 1960s standards - that had a floor starter switch, but they were considered laughably obsolete while the dimmer switch on the floor was up-to-date. I still recall frantically doing the "dimmer switch stomp" trying to hit that thing as oncoming traffic was flashing their highs at me… and how it became such a small target at the wrong time was one of life's little mysteries.
