I know the wheels a 46-48 lincoin but the horn ring is throwing me off whats it from

 

Restored stocker in my 1963 Ford Consul Capri. The delicate pot metal horn ring was broken so I made one from scratch out of steel and had it chromed.

Here's a I.H. pickup steering wheel I got at a swap meet a couple of weeks ago.

 

Can't believe no one has mentioned the FATMAN steering wheels.

Here is one in this posting:

The 235 KID, that emblem is from a Packard I believe a "clipper"

 

This wheel is getting fitted to my '29 R.P.U.
It's off a deuce.I removed the damaged plastic coating from the rim and spokes.Rim is now powder coated and the hub/spokes sanded and polished,awaiting final polishing.

 

Billet looking or not, THAT is a work of art. Nice Job, Fits with the dash shape and, well, just Nice.

oldschool

 

WOW! What an AWESOME thread!!!!! Going to be saving a lot of these pictures for inspiration!

Here's my 17" Bell style wheel. There's chrome under that tape. When I pull it off I'll post a new pic...

 

One I built out of an old grant wood rim wheel, stainless rod and a GM center.

 

It's from a Clipper

 

I would love to find the "wheel" off of one of these to use on the rod....

P38 yoke

 

Thats because there are no fat guys on the HAMB!!!

 

You and me, both!

Keep 'em coming, fellas. This is great!

 

Uhhh.... WRONG

 

I love steering wheels.Used a 54 Hudson in the 48.Restored by Pearlcraft here in Australia.Reduced diameter by 2 inches.Did you know that Hudson invented the finger grips on steering wheels.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ that looks like the horn ring on MCISMEROS Lincoln wheel ?

 

Mine in the A

 

Was it Stutz who had a rather ingenious concentric steering-wheel system in the '20s? The steering was quite quickly geared and hence heavy at low speeds, but there was a small steering wheel in the middle of the main wheel with a much slower ratio for manoeuvering purposes. It was definitely one of the American quality marques; I can't remember if it was indeed Stutz.

Uhhh.... WRONG (50 FRAUD)


I knew a guy who was so fat that he turned his steering wheel upside down so the dish would face down and give him more room for his belly!

This is the same idea as Charlie Chops, but with a cut down Ford banjo mated to a Grant wood wheel. Done by Kirk Duquett for his '32 Ford Roadster Pickup Woody.

 

Here's mine in my '63 Austin Healey, custom made by Mike Lempert:

The device in the center is the "trafficator" that combines the horn and turn signal functions.

Over to the right is a Halda Speedpilot, a '60s time, speed, distance rallye calculator and below that is a period Becker EuropaII Stereo Radio.

What?? Not a hot rod? Here's the small block Ford mock-up:




and even better, Mike (who's a great guy to deal with, by the way) did this beauty for the Doane Spencer II Roadster:

That effen rules!

That wheel is from a 1950s Ford Consul... Its got the turn signal switch built into the horn rim, which doesn't turn when the wheel does. They actually had semaphores on them...
