want a deluxe steering wheel for 56, which has the "hump" chrome center piece. I assume this was used on the Belvedere. Mine looks a little ragged and would like a nicer one. My car is a sport suburban station wagon. Leads, referrals appreciated. thank you for your time.

Location: So. Cal		Are you saying that you already have one? If so, you should just get it repaired. I bought one in excellent shape 12yrs ago, but now it has cracked quite a bit from sitting in the hot car. You might be able to find someone who can mold a new one if you ask around, but if not, I think that places like Koch's can repair yours by filling the cracks with a resin material.

Location: Lower Mainland BC		Recasting a two-tone 55-56 steering wheel costs about $1250 to $1500 based on my investigations. I bought a solid black steering will for my 56 Dodge from French Lake Auto Parts for around $100 shipped. I intend to use an epoxy filler as per the video link below and paint to make it pretty. I know it will turn out pretty good since I did a much rattier job involving PlastiDip and paint on a cracked 55 two tone wheel and it turned out not bad considering the lack of effort I put into it.

Location: So. Cal		The Plymouth wheel is a single color, but I doubt that anyone has a mold available for the deluxe plymouth wheel so repairing your original is probably your only option. Just to be clear, you are referring to this "Hollywood " plastic wheel, correct?

Location: Buena Park, CA		I recall seeing them in person, but I just confirmed that Quality Restorations does have the mold for a Deluxe 55-56 Plymouth wheel. http://qualityrestorations.com/plymouth-steering-wheels/

Location: Buena Park, CA		Nathan, Quality Restorations is always out at the Grand National Show in Pomona with a giant display . . . . . I think they had a 55-56 Dodge wheel last year in clear sparkle blue. Pretty awesome.

Location: So. Cal		Cool. I never go to those things. I went to a giant auto swap meet in San Diego and felt like I was wandering around for days on end with 1 mopar part in the whole place I ran out of water and became really dehydrated.... so I haven't been to another one since.

Location: Buena Park, CA		Totally understand Nathan . . . . I did that Big 3 San Diego swap two years ago and felt the same way. The Grand Nationals is one of the biggest and best car shows around in my opinion . . . . not really a swap, more of a car & product show.

I have bought a better used steering wheel. So there are 2 types of steering wheels, one is "hollywood" and what is the name of the other style of steering wheel?
thank you for your time.

Location: So. Cal		It is the standard "rubber" wheel. The Hollywood wheel was called that because it is made of plastic and was an upgrade option, but standard on the Fury.
