If I remember there is a pin hole in the key side of the switch that you would insert a paper clip wren in the lock position and then turn the key counter clockwise to release the lock cylinder. But you need the key to do this !

Then the bezel can be unscrewed and the switch can be removed.

Your option is to call a mobile locksmith and have a key made on site .
Be sure to tell them you need a key blank for the 50’s GM ignition . BTW if your lucky it will match the door lock
