GM mounted the starting solenoid on top of the starter. Hence the convenience of making the function mechanical using toe pressure and in the day since you usually had to have the accelerator depressed or depress it up and down to keep the thing running once it lit off, that was a convenient place for the driver.
Ford mounted their solenoid usually on the firewall or somewhere under the hood on sheet metal and had a push button and an electrical on/off switch.
