RW> Last early 50s Ford I had was a 51 and it no longer had the push button   
   RW> starter switch. The ignition switch was keyed and it worked like GM cars,   
   RW> except that the Ford keys were inserted upside down (tumblers up locks).   
      
   I never realized that push button start was around before the key start.    
   Seems things are going full circle, back to the push button.   
      
   Going between driving the 2012 Charger, 2002 Monte Carlo, and 2001 Durango   
   sometimes throws me for a loop.     
      
   The Charger has the push button start and a shifter that is spring loaded and   
   doesn't really change position.  Then the Monte Carlo is key started with a   
   standard shifter.  The Durango is key started with the shifter on the steering   
   column.     
      
   Keeps me on my toes.
