This photo brings back a bad memory . . .
I took my kids to the movies at the Pyrimad Mall in Ithaca, NY. At the time I had a 1969 SS 396 Camaro with an aftermarket wood steering wheel (Grant?) and wooden shift knob (4 speed).
When I got into the drivers seat, after leaving the theater, I noticed I had A LOT of room - then noticed someone had broken into my car and stolen my steering wheel and shift knob. So I went into the trunk and got the biggest pair of Vice Grips I had then drove the car back to my apartment complex, dropped the kids off then drove it down the BIG ITHACA HILL in the right lane limping along at 25 MPH (it's a 55 MPH road) until I reached town and located a car parts store that had both a steering wheel and shift knob - again I think they were Grants.
Not a lot of fun driving a car using a pair of Vice Grips instead of a steering wheel and at the same time shifting a manual trans with no knob.
