My 68 Barracuda has two buttons on the floor; one for high/low beams and the other for the windshield washer.

Nothing sexier than a woman into cars, and pink, and Hoka's, or guns, or any combination thereof.

I clearly remember when my dad was trying to figure out why the high beam foot switch (I think on our '68 Impala) was not working very well. He took it off, looked up the cost of a new one (he was a parts manager at a dealership) and decided to try to fix the old one. After a few shots of WD-40 he got that old foot switch working like new. He could have gotten a new one at cost. But free is even better. And we were not well off at the time.

My father bought a ‘59 Mercury (I think it was a Mercury - might have been a Dodge) panel van in the late ‘70s. He had this crazy notion of turning it into a Shaggin’ Wagon - mid-life crisis, I imagine.

Anyway, it had a floor start switch.

So that's who this was at the Scottsdale car show.

If it's any consolation he did a nice job. ?

My OCD kicked in, Dave:
For those of us South of the boarder, Ford trucks were branded as Mercury's by Ford of Canada 1946-1968. From 1969 on, they had the same nomenclature as the US. But Dave's Dad might have had a Dodge if it had a foot starter. The farmer I worked for as a kid had a 1951 dodge with a flathead six. There was a plunger on the floor that directly engaged the starter- no solenoid. turn the simple on-off ignition, and push the foot plunger down.

Dad's 42 Plymouth has a floor starter switch. Push clutch in, put the 3 on the tree in neutral (if you can find it), set the manual choke, give the gas a few pumps and press the starter switch and wait for it to start.
Repeat if it hasn't started after about 10 seconds.
