My Uncle had a 55 Buick in which the starter was in the accelerator. You turned on the key then pressed on the accelerator. About half way down the starter kicked in.

Not a particularly good idea imo.

I know a guy who was a mechanic for our electric company. He told me that they had a bunch of cars like that but they ordered them to come without a key. He said they had some of them malfunction, start on their own and cook the engines sitting in the garage idling all weekend.
