'68 deluxe steering wheel option
« on: March 31, 2009, 09:36:25 pm »
Does anyone have a photo or a link to a photo of the 1968 Deluxe steering wheel?  My car was delivered with the deluxe wheel as a USD31.52 option.  Be nice to know whether the unit sitting in the boot is the correct one.
Cheers

They basically look like this one pictured,with a simulated woodgrain face area on rim...and a color on the back such as black.I guess other colors were also available on the back part of wheel and pad? There was also thin chrome tape or 'mylar' bands dividing the front and rear,on both the inside and outside of the rim.This was the deluxe wheel in Mustang for the year 1968 only.
