An active starter motor circuit without an active ignition, whether by button, toeboard pedal or whatever, was pretty much the standard of the prewar era. Ditto the thermostatic breaker on the headlight circuit, at least for Packard and other higher quality cars, going back to at least the early 30s and perhaps much earlier than that.
