1957 Steering Wheel

[John P.]

Hello, I have been trying to find a stock 1957 beige steering wheel to replace my cracked original. Today I saw a NOS steering wheel listed on E-bay. It is item # 143091671396. If possible, can anyone verify that this wheel is an original, or reproduction? Thank you in advance for any and all recommendations and opinions, John

John,

Why not send your original steering wheel for rebuild to Richard Dunham?

Gary, What a great idea. Way better than the repos.

John,

Can't really tell if that's a '57 steering wheel or not. 56-7 steering wheels are unique as specified in the 56-7 Judging Manual.

Richard did 2 for me and a few other members. The're perfect and will pass judging without any deductions
