And damn those angled controls would have made pulling the choke knob a lot easier than being inset and behind the steering wheel. I have no idea how anybody managed to drive before everything was an inch away.

Oh, YOU had a tape player in your car ...... an 8 TRACK at that ......
(spoilt city kid)
Before that, once you did find the choke knob and pulled it out, one had to reach all the way over to the center of the floorboard, with your right leg and push the starter pedal.
Don't forget to push the choke all the way in after a spell ..... NO, the manual never said how far and for how long to keep it pulled out.
If you wanted to dim your headlights ...... you had to find the dimmer switch on the floorboard ..... with your left foot ...... yep, the same one you used to push in the clutch ...... so get your timing right.
Fresh air ....... oh yes, just reach
under the
center of the dash and push the vent lever down. Don't forget to open up the side vent (manually) to let the smoke out.
OK, here we go down the highway. Cruise control ..... of course ..... just pull out the throttle cable, that's on the dash, and hold it out with a coin jammed behind it ...... size of coin would depend on how fast you wanted to go.
I just don't know how we managed ......
