1962 Chevy Bel Air Steering Wheel Complete
I'm continuing to do a little spring cleaning in my storage building.
A dual spoke steering wheel that features a recessed horn bar and a color matching hub emblem.
I wonder where the car is?
If I turn it upside down and put a magnifier paper weight on top .... looks sorta' like a spaceship.... IMO :)
Thanks for looking at my Post!
That reminds me of the steering wheel in my 1963
LARGE diameter
break out a yardstick to show how big
I added a pic with a measuring tool.... ~17 inches or 0.944 cubit
RENDERED
Almost half of one yard
and foot deep
Cool ! My Dad had a blue Chevy Biscayne not sure of the year 59' I think. Big cat eye tail lights and fins above. It was our drive-in movie car before or family grew from 2 to 6 kids. My mom dented the drivers door so Dad finally relented and bought a Chevy wagon in 64' just before we moved to Ohio from Michigan.
Thank You mikelv85 for the Great Comment!
Yep... my Dad had to eventually get a wagon to haul all us kids back in the 60s. He was always a hot rodder so he opted for a 1965 Chev Impala Wagon. He ordered it with the 396 Turbo Jet V-8 coupled to a Turb0 Hydra-Matic. I still remember my dad squealing out of the church parking lot with my mother, brothers and sister in the car :)
My Dad was not so performance conscious. Think our wagon was an aqua Bel Air. After that towards the 70's he got very fuel conscious so we had VW beetles and buses plus my Mom 's Chartreuse Kharmann Ghia. The exceptions as we got older 72"Olds Vista Cruiser and really sweet 78" black and red Monte Carlo Landau. I'd trade my Rolls for one of those in mint condition...well maybe lol :)
Big, gorgous wheel, simple as that !~
Thank You mikelv85 and PhilDMorris for some great comments!
