Thoughts on metal flake steering wheels on an early B-body like mine. I recently let a friend drive my Savoy at Norwalk and he mentioned I should get a steering wheel to match my blue metal flake shifter ball. My original wheel was cracked and split so I've already replaced it with Grant three spoke walnut wheel so another Grant wheel would just be a bolt on deal. Now my car is not a resto by any definition but it's more of a street/strip car from the 70's. Gus

I had one on my 64 Dart, caught crap from people, all in jest always asking me if the guy who owns the boat ever got another steering wheel.

I know they still make them but I had a green Mooneyes NOS wheel from the 60's I was going to put on my 69 GTS F8 convertible, but it got destroyed in my garage fire. I probably will get a new one and use it one of these days...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Well I'm gonna stop by Summit on the way home from work tonight and see what they look like. They don't show the 15" one in stock but they do show the 13" wheel. Hopefully I can get it on the car before the end of summer. Thanks for the positive replies Russ I kinda figured your 63 had one to match the rest of the car Gus

I haven't got a pic handy but my late buddy's 64 440 had a red one in it. Basically a Day 2 modification. He bought the car new.
Kevin I thought I had more pics of this car but not on this computer I guess. Not sure if you zoom in if you can see well enough or not. Kevin
