What's wrong with this picture?

Nice 36 coupe on ebay but how did they do this?

 

[Mart]

Mart.

Switch plate is reversed to deter theft?

 

[Gary Tosel]

35 and 36 Fords had the on switch down while in 37 they reversed it to make on when up. This means that the switch plate on the back of the lock system is not the same as some parts sellers indicate in their ad.

Thanks Gary, I didn't know that.

Its a late 36 column bracket where the off is at the bottom. They put an early name plate on it. See image of late 36

Is this better?

I don't see any wires to the ignition switch. Could be what the large toggle switch is for, just above column drop.

 

[19Fordy]

Terry, Good thinking. I bet the key is just used to unlock the column.

Did anyone else notice the "hide out" key???
