Steering wheel stuff

The steering wheel is in pretty good shape, considering the age, but there are some cracks that I couldn’t stop absentmindedly picking at while driving.

Shopped around online and found the old school lace up vinyl steering wheel cover (Amazon link). It was so cheap and chintzy that it tore while driving with it the first time. That’s the electrical tape at the bottom left.

It looks like the steering wheel and horn are from a 65-66 model. I originally thought the bottom ring of the horn was broken or sawed off, but not the case. Spent a few bucks to get a shiny new horn ring and button for the crusty old wheel.

I haven’t been able to make the horn work as good or reliably as it did originally. It’s either blaring non-stop or you have to hold your mouth just right to get one side or the other to actually make a toot.
