I always recommend a battery cut-off switch on an old car, especially if it has any existing "ancient" wiring.

There are too many instances of cars catching fire in storage. Rodents love wiring and are not very good about disconnecting the battery before chewing on them.

It also eliminates any parasitic drain that may cause dead battery, especially if your car has a clock.

On our '37 convertible, it's on the floor right behind the seat. So it takes all of 5 seconds to reach down and turn it on or off when getting in or out of the car.

I have one I need to install in the '54. For the last 15 years, I've always popped the hood and pulled the positive cable off the battery, which I keep loose enough to wiggle it off. But I will probably install that on the firewall above the pedals somewhere.
