Call me crazy, but as a fan of Mopar's since I was a kid, certain things Chrysler was known for back in the Forward Look days so unlike the other big two intrigued me. Among them was the short span with their wild squared-off steering wheels. Ya just rarely come across those as I've looked when I've thought of it for years. Have never seen one at meets going back decades. Well, go figure. Yesterday at the Iola meet there's one of those sitting on a table shortly after starting the trek through the meet. It looked in pretty decent condition and given the insignia appears to have come out of an Imperial. I bought it then carried it for the next couple hours walking the grounds. Two bud's with me would take turns carrying it.
What a conversation piece it was with guys stopping us to ask about it and the old mopar guys knowing about these wheels. Much as I'd like to put it in my '63 Plymouth, doubt it's going to mate and would need a color change. So might restore it as a winter project...
