What year came with plastic wood steering wheel

[Cellguy]

Hi,
Can anybody tell me from the pictures what year this steering wheel is? Its a bit bigger than my 70 3 spoke wheel.

My old 66 Vette had one like that, and I think earlier big Buicks (pre 70's) could have gotten them. I would guess a Riv, but I'm sure Duane will know and speak up as soon as he sees this.

It is a neat wheel!

1968 Skylark and GS.

Yes, '68 ... and if you are looking to sell - Im desperately looking for one for the Sporty in my Avitar. Do you have the '68 Specific hub and the horn cap to go with it ?

Thanks

Nice wheel. Looks a bit thicker than mine, but it could be my bad memory. Optional wheel for 68 GS/Skylark. And mid-late 60's 'vettes, not sure of exact years.

It was also an option on '68 Oldsmobiles and Chevelles I believe. Almost impossible to find without any cracks...

Alan, did you check out the reproduction wheels that are available?

Walnut

Rosewood

The Rosewood looks deeper (like the originals) than the Walnut,I don't know how anything about them but they look good.

Mike, they spec those kits as for "without tilt" cars. But that wouldn't apply to the bare wheel, right? I was thinking they looked REAL good, then bought a fair original one instead.

Here's the bare wheel for $269: http://www.ss396.com/mm5/merchant.mv...=STEERINGWHEEL
