    Is that what you call these?...came off a 1927 Lincoln...

    Goes around the column and has cutouts for the pedals.

    What ARE it called?

    There's another pic of one, you can barely see the top of it.

    A part like that is normally called an escutcheon (pronounced e skush un) Its a generic name for all sorts of trim plates surrounding parts that p*** thru walls or bulkheads.

    Thank you...I'd heard that term used for window cranks and door handles, but never for steering columns...learn somethin' new every day.

    I conceed that escutcheon is the proper name, but at least can we refer to it as a "steering column escutcheon thingy"? I think the the "thingy" on the end adds a certain...
