I believe that is why the teakwood wheel was discontinued after 66. I just love a nice original teakwood wheel in a 65-66

Yes, that was the reason the Teak Wheel was discontinued.
Extremely hard wood the was used on the deck of the battleship New Jersey.

Agreed, the 65-66 teak wheel is gorgeous!
I bought this wheel in 1975 at the Bob McDorman Corvette show in Columbus Ohio. Paid a huge price at the time, $300, but it’s minty.
