Jeez, these days I wonder how many remember the dimmer switch on the floor...

How many remember the starter under the foot feed, or the starter switch under the clutch pedal? All these modern cars now have a push button on the dash, most of the cars I remember when I was a kid had those, along with a steering column lock that needed a key to lock or unlock, but most were rarely used.

I seem to remember a starter switch built into the shift lever on a column mounted shifter. Just pull back, sort of like dimmer switches today. I had a 1941 Nash that had a station changer for the radio mounted on the floorboard like a dimmer switch.

My first three cars had ‘em.

—They were old cars even then :)

Oh yeah (that's right, we be old).

Man, I HATED those things. Ice and snow freezing it once or three times I can remember. The worse was coming around a curve in the road while shifting - clutch foot busy - high beams on - and a car coming the other way. /embarrassed/
