Love that flat head. Screwdriver. pliers and bailing wire was all you needed.
Duct tape and bailing wire. Fixes everything. Not a flathead but my 1970 duster 198 slant six 3 speed on the floor was one I wished I still had.

Come on guys, you are showing your age. I had forgotten about those start buttons on the floorboard. Had a 51 Ford that I had to constantly add brake fluid. Master cylinder was under drivers floor mat and added so much someone suggested rubbing alcohol that was like 10 cents a bottle and it worked. A lot cheaper than brake fluid.
I don't remember the starter button being on the floor, but I do remember the high beam switch being there.

Studebaker starter buttons were activated by a tab on the clutch pedal. Kept you from starting the car while it was in gear while it was in gear. Well, it could be in gear but . . . .

Do you remember vacuum powered windshield wipers (54 Ford)? Every time you went FOT to pass somebody in the rain, your windshield wipers would turn off. I'd like to meet the engineer that designed that vacuum powered motor! We could have wheelchair jousting using our canes.
Yes, I remember those, you had to make a decision to either lift off the throttle and wipe the windshield or keep going blind!
