Re: [FWDLK] 60 Plymouth steering wheel needed

Hi Jim,

 

No, as usual your English is just fine.  The 60’s steering wheels were a sort of squared off circle.  Are you familiar with the semi-ellipse, a geometric shape created in the late 50s/early 60s by a Danish engineer named Piet Hein?  It was used in a lot of designs at the time, from plates to ashtrays.  I don’t know if it was an influence on Chrysler’s steering wheels, but they bear more than a casual resemblance.

A SQUARE wheel ???

Is it my poor English, or am I missing something?

Should anybody have a lead as to the whereabouts of a forsale square wheel for the 60 Plymouth, I should be pleased to hear of it.  Thanks
