I don't have an answer for you but an interior light switch sounds plausible.

Another possibility.... I just got off the riding lawnmower a couple of minutes ago and got to thinking about the switch under the seat that cuts off the motor if you get up. Having a pin switch like that in the Model A that was hooked up to the coil, with another hidden on/off switch in the line would give you a anti-theft device. The car would not start after a thief closed the door unless the hidden switch was also in the "on" position.
