That Buick is older than 1947. looks more like the late 30's to early 40's. If you raise the hood and look at the right firewall, there is usually a tag on them and the first 2 numbers are the model year. GM useed this system till the 60's on cars. This one will also have a small tag on it that will say,"Body by Fisher".G.M. bought the Fisher Body works that was a major builder of car bodies on high end vehicles till the take over. This car probably has the accellerator activated starter switch which engaged when the pedal was pressed and it engaged the solenoid and then a vaccum switch disengaged it after the engine was running. If the engine was producing a vacuum this switch also prevented accidental engagement while running to prevent starter/ring gear damage. These were smooth running rngines that were powerful enough to pull a sawmill if you could afford the gasoline.
