Hello everyone. I am restoring my 1931 Model A deluxe coupe. I would like to know what type of ignition switch is original. I have a pop out switch, is that correct or not?

Thank you so much. I was unsure, because as I have been working on it (with the great help of a friend) I have found that there has been some very bad rigging on this car and there are some things that are to be on it and some that are not to be on it.

Spain made a repro popout several years ago. The looks of the switch, and the key will tell the story.

Well I would post a photo here but when I click on the photo icon, it wants a URL and doesn't open a folder. So I don't know how to post a picture here.

Here's a link to some pictures of both original style popout switches. The first style was used until mid 1930, when the round speedometer replaced the oval speedometer.
