Hot Rods Steering Wheel ?

I've never seen one like this before. Anybody know where it came from. I'm planning on replacing it with a Schroeder midget wheel....14", same diameter as this one.

 

i believe that's a Ford banjo wheel that's been cut down the the rim replaced with one from a Grant steering wheel

 

Yep I did the same thing 30 years ago.

 

Horn*****on is 1938, FWIW.

 

The wheel hub and spokes is a 37.

 

36-3window nailed it. Just did some out of two '39 banjos.

 

Anybody else wanna chime in ?

 

I think the 1937 and 1938 horn*****ons and shift knobs are identical moldings, distinguishable by paint.
The 1937 ones were bare plastic, the '38's were painted "Zephyr Brown", which always flaked off completely...
So you can distinguish readily by looking at the*****on and determining whether it is bare plastic or painted plastic with no paint left. Easy!

 

It'll go for over a hundred&fifty, maybe more on ebay.
