Post a picture of your steering wheels
I'm trying to get some ideas for a steering wheel in my car. I still have the original but am thinking about going aftermarket. Some wheels that come to mind are the Grant Challenger, GT signature series, Classic, etc... All pics will be appreciated.

Stock Formula wheel. Hands down one of THE BEST looking wheels EVER. Sorry......Maybe not the biased answer you were looking for.

No I agree. They are are just hard to come by in good shape and a repo I believe costs over $200. |
whats wrong with a good nice looking wheel costing $200.
Its the item you fondle the most on your car(except the gas pedal) |
here's a link to one I put on my 67 a couple of years ago. It still looks the same.

Nice wheel TJ.

I would have preferred an original in great shape but until I find one, this will do. And yes, this was 2 weeks after I bought the car and I hadn't found an original radio (it's in there now)

Did the Birds get a wood wheel, like this one (in a '65 GTO)?

yes same wheel style as the big cars and GTOs for applicable year

Here's my original restored wood wheel and a formula wheel that I adapted to the '67-68 style column.

Thanks Lenie |
Here is a Grant classic wheel with a leather wheelskin cover that I sewed on it.

I always wondered how they sew the covers on.
With a Lucite horn button like the wood wheels that would look factory. Nice job |
Yeah, I have to second that. REALLY nice job! Although you have an aftermarket Grant wheel it looks like stock. Perfect workmanship! If I had seen this before I doubt that I would have given my deluxe steering wheel away for high-$$$ restauration... Way to go!

Thanks guys, I think I'm leaning towards the grant classic. Thanks for all the pics.

Can you get a 1st gen bird center cap with the grant wheels ???

What you see in the picture is Grant's Pontiac cap
|
i made one. the cap is a generic grant ($6) that you can get anywhere. i tried the chrome one and i didn't like it. the emblem is for the deluxe door panel. the smaller glove box emblem is on indefinite backorder from py.
