Favorite steering wheels of all time?
Permalink  

Came across a picture of a '65 Chevelle steering wheel the other day which I had to appreciate as one of the nicest looking I've ever seen (attached)!  As a result I thought it might be interesting to see what other classic steering wheels were made that deserve another look.  Therefore if anyone has any favorites that they want to post, I think it might be cool/groovy/far-out etc...

The GM Rosewoods have always been my factory favourites too but I always loved the 60's era aftermarket metallic colored ones as in the pics below!.

Does Todd's Mopar Batmobile happen to have one of the optional Square steering wheels?.

I just picked up this beauty of ebay . Nice vintage "Superior" wheel with the 3 slots cut into it. Looks sharp on my '68. I will post a pic of it on the car once I can get one.

OK boys the question was What's your favourite Steering Wheel of all time? That is not the same as What is the nicest ever produced?

I posted my favourite one BUT I agree that the 64 GTO/GP wood wheel is the nicest.

 Ray, that's semantics.  The 64 GTO is my favourite one because I think that it is the nicest one GM ever produced.

Those Rosewoods/Walnuts are real nice

I have to say that the wheel that I have installed in more cars is the late 1970's Z28 wheel-maybe not GM's best but was sure nice to drive with-big issues with it being in a 76 corvette and 76 vega GT !
