There is a hole in the dash, left of the instrument cluster. What goes there?

It was probably a push button to activate a solenoid for push button electrical start. Not original to the car. A popular add on to eliminate the mechanical floor starter or starterator as some have called it.

That's what my 35 had when I got it and I filled the hole and put a starterator on it. Those push buttons were a replacement for the starterator.

It was not unusual for an owner to cut BIG opening in the instrument panel to mount some kind of radio.

I think some '35 models were the same. The temp face was with brown print rather than black.

he said it is a 1935 Master so it came from the factory with a temperature gauge in the instrument cluster.
