I have a wheel. Now I need a car to go with it.

Fridays are the worst day to start a thread so we will see what the weekend brings of this. 

My ex-business partner was throwing out a steering wheel. This one. 

I have always had a thing for wood steering wheels. This one is pretty nice. But there is a problem. I don't have a car to go with it. 

So the challenge is to come up with a car that fits the wheel. 

And go...

What about a boat?

In reply to wvumtnbkr :

That's a thought. It would look pretty good in my Shamrock with all the teak. I am not sure how it would survive in a marine environment. 

I had one of those wheels. That's all I'm going to say about it. 

EDIT: Sorry.

Something that would look at home on a road course in the '60s ;)

(though, all the rule sets I've ever read for modern road racing specifically forbid wood steering wheels)

1961-63 Ford Falcon?

Track nose 27 T.

How about an old "woodie" wagon?

How about MonZora?

My boat. Gimme. 

That needs to go in a TA  (not a T/A... big difference)

Something British or 60s

There. Fixed it. 

'67 Chevelle.

Usually I hate the chrome and gold look. But it really works for me on that car.

This thought crossed my mind. The wheel was in a pile of Mustang parts from that era.

In reply to Toyman! :

To me that is the perfect 60s cord wheel. It would look fantastic in a Falcon or Mustang or Galaxie. 

In reply to Toyman! :

I think that's a Grant wheel, certainly looks like one, so most of the sales ended up in 'Murican cars I would think.

Early 60s Corvette 

In reply to DeadSkunk (Warren) :

It is a Grant wheel. 

Lot's of sharp metal edges. Crude woodwork. Sketchy horn wiring.

More evidence to put it in an MG-TA.  They're a match made in heaven.

70's era Chevy Van?

In reply to imgon :

Any era van would likely do!
