Starting is very simple but, a lot depends on how long it's been setting and its condition. Not just a 1,2,3 answer. Info on the car's condition is a must before you even try to start it. :unsure:
 
This is a go-to document written by a former member of this forum (now deceased) It has helped many.

I had the same question when my 54 arrived.
I didn't have a clue how to start it. I turned the key and the light came on but it wouldnā€™t start!
What? I thought the battery must be dead! šŸ˜‚. Fortunately my car came with the original manual. Half turn with the key, pull out the knob on the right and poof! It was alive!!
Enjoy your car! Iā€™m sure enjoying mine!
