Special 15” diameter version that looks like the original 18” wheel but is smaller allowing for more leg room.
This 15-inch American-Retro steering wheel replaces the original 1956-57 18” stock Thunderbird wheel from vehicles of that vintage. This sporty replacement gives your car an original look, yet provides drivers the comfort and handling of a 3” smaller diameter modern size wheel, a benefit especially for cars converted to modern power steering. Don't wrestle with that “bus size” steering wheel any longer! American-Retro's new smaller steering wheel is the answer!
Made to fit to the original steering column using all the original horn, nuts, and turn signal switch parts. The American-Retro wheel comes complete with a chrome horn ring and a center cap. Installation is easy - just bolt it on! Finished in black. For other colors, simply paint to match your vehicle.
** Note: This wheel is painted, expect scratches and chips to happen over time and use. The die cast horn ring has nice chrome but the base casting is not perfectly smooth, expect imperfections. You will need to reuse and install your original horn spring or a new one, T-13A807-1. The clear plastic “Legend” center emblem can be replaced with an original style center emblem, T-3636-2 or T-3636-3, by carefully disassembling the horn ring and replacing the emblem.
Be aware that changing to a smaller diameter steering wheel will increase the effort required to turn the wheel, this is not so much an issue with power steering but manual steering cars will have an increased effort.
