My 65 Crown, bought 2 years ago, came with a steering wheel with the upper and
lower portion made of lucite. There was about a 4 inch solid color piece at
the bar in between them. As I have studied pictures on 65's, I have seen a
totally solid color (this was in the sales brochure). I've seen a lucite top
and solid bottom. I've also seen one where the middle portions are about 8
inches wide.
Like most everyone else, the lucite was pretty shot. I chose to have the wheel
repaired and then leather wrapped rather than paying the premium price for
restoration. Maybe one day, after all these other bills are a faint memory,
I'll get it done.
In the meantime, I'm really curious about thes. Does anyone know the history
of these steering wheels and why I would find such differences?
Looking forward to the Gulf Shores meet in January.
Thanks and Happy New Year,
Casey
