: Cushion Grip 3 spoke steering wheel? 70ChevelleRagtop Sep 6th, 08, 3:02 PM When I purchased my car, it came with a steering wheel that looks identical to the typical cushion grip steering wheel however it is red (someone had previously tried to dye it back but some original red is visible). I thought these only came in black or is this a different model that wasn't used on Chevelles? BlueSS454 Sep 6th, 08, 3:20 PM Oldmobiles had a similar steering wheel that were colored to match the interior, but chevelle wheels should be black, at least on SS cars. sparky1698 Sep 6th, 08, 3:46 PM On this subject does anyone make a correct repo. The ones I have seen the graining looks off. I have a original one on my car but over the years it has become smooth and has a sticky feel to it no mater what I clean it with. sparky1698 Sep 6th, 08, 3:48 PM Oh by the way Dana I took your block home for safe keeping:D 70ChevelleRagtop Sep 6th, 08, 9:54 PM I'm not worried about the block! The heads are more important to me! I guess the guys as the machine shop were also eyeing the LS6 intake pretty hard too. Bill said he had two different offers to "make it disappear". I'm glad he likes me! I figured I just missed you when I left on Friday... sparky1698 Sep 6th, 08, 10:45 PM He said you had just left before I got there. I wanted to go listen to his 67 with the exhaust on it. s5757s Sep 8th, 08, 7:56 PM Your red steering wheel is from a Buick Skylark. Olds used a 4 spoke S5757S Don_Lightfoot Sep 8th, 08, 8:10 PM A 69 Camaro SS I restored about 12 years ago with a Red interior had a Red three spoke cushion grip on it. Have no idea if it was original to the car or not. von Sep 9th, 08, 5:31 AM Speaking of '69 cushion grip wheels, was it an option introduced later in the model year? I haven't seen it in any '69 Chevelle option lists. 1969 El Camino Dan Sep 9th, 08, 10:10 PM Dana, Enjoyed the slide show of your Chevelle 'vert - looks very sharp! Except for that 'two toned' wheel :D Get yourself a genuine leather stitch on wheel cover and spend a hour or two to put it on - you'll be glad you did. I put one on mine but got a wide model and added some padding to flesh it out - it was a shinny plastic wheel. I used carpet stick backing and some shelf pad for mine. I love it!! Wheel had cracks in it, but now looks like new! http://lh5.ggpht.com/1966Corsa180/SMG4GchiEcI/AAAAAAAAA_o/cOnmoqkUVZw/s576/S7302254.JPG | ||
