I was driving to the store today and wife asks me, "what's that car in front of us?".
So I pulled out my phone as fast as I could to take a pic and said- that's a car for the "what cars are these" thread! lol
Well, I failed to get a good pic so I had to find one online.
I'd say a '62 full-size Ford.....probably a Galaxie.
Notice the ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel. Big Fords of the early 1960s were noted for that, as were full-size Plymouth/Dodges for the 1969 model year only......in 1970, it would be relocated to the steering-column per Federal mandate.

Why did the feds mandate the ignition on the steering column? And was this repealed? because Porsches had the ignition to the left on the dash, and Saabs had them on the center console.

I've never heard of this before and I don't think its accurate. Like you said, many cars have the ignition not on the steering column and always have
