HA!
I know Piet Hein. He’s
DUTCH, from The Netherlands. But that was way back in the 1600’s or so…,
sailing the world’s high seas.
Thanks for the compliment
on my English!
How’s Bertha?

Hi Jim,
No, as usual your English is just fine. The 60’s
steering wheels were a sort of squared off circle. Are you familiar with
the semi-ellipse, a geometric shape created in the late 50s/early 60s by a
Danish engineer named Piet Hein? It was used in a lot of designs at the
time, from plates to ashtrays. I don’t know if it was an influence
on Chrysler’s steering wheels, but they bear more than a casual
resemblance.

Should
anybody have a lead as to the whereabouts of a forsale square wheel for the 60
Plymouth, I should be pleased to hear of it. Thanks
