I had forgotten that the gas pedal starter switch was carried that late. I think 1960 was the last year for this. I've owned two '39 Buicks, a '50, a '51, a '55 Century, a '57 Roadmaster 75, and a '66 Riviera. All were great cars, and all had that starting system except for the Riviera. The '57 had the triple turbine Dynaflow, and heavy as the car was, it was far snappier than the Dynaflow on the '55 Century or the '51. The 300 hp motor didn't hurt either. Massive as your Electra is, I'll bet it scoots along pretty well. I have some NOS Guide Autronic Eye parts if yours ever needs something (assuming I have correct part number).
