Default 64 wood steering wheel

What gloss level was on the 64 simulated wood wheels when new?

Here you go, Jim. My wheel does not have a HIGH gloss, like the solid color wheels have. I know the wood grain distorts the light and affects the shine, BUT.... I would say 60% or less, but that is my opinion!!!!! "Bill"!
Maybe someone else will jump in......

I attached two pictures of the NOS one recently on eBay. It has some gloss, so I'd say 60 degree gloss is about right.

The two I have look about the same--as far as gloss goes. The third picture is of one of mine. This one was never refinished.
