ODD OR RARE STEERING WHEELS what are you running?

Here is the one I have in the Roadster.

1921 Willys-Knight with 1913 White "GA" hand controls. Not sure if it rare or not, but not one you see every day

 

Man, this roadster just keeps getting better and better. Well done, sir! Just killer. Simply killer.

 

Thanks Banjo! Adding things is fun, but tough....Don't want to "Over-do it"

 

the dash is a stock unit for a 1948 olds model 66. hopefully your dash is identical and bolts in (olds had different "series" cars and although the two dashes look identical one is wider than the other.)












the wheel is technically a 1952 olds accessory wheel with a MAAR autowatch..
I had a thing for these for awhile and had 3.. the red one that I kept is actually a reproduction that I made..


this last photo shows the wheel when it was in the Raw


the entire wheel is made of 3/4 steel tubing and a round stock structure.. I had considered chroming it but choose body color instead.. I may. at some point build another from stainless..



here is a closeup of the automatically winding clock..

the clock features an mechanism / ***embly in the rear that allows the clock to wind itself as the car steers / accelerates / decelerates

I really really had a thing for these.. but I have grown out of them.. for the most part.

 

Great thread!

 

No worries! Hope I didn't sound like too much of a jack***.

I just love all the weird shoebox stuff--the gl*** dome light lenses they used for a while; the latches in different places on the Club Coupe flip-out windows; and all the Meteor stuff.
