Default OEM Teakwood Steering Wheel

Absolutely the most beautiful steering wheel ever made, 65-66 Corvette.

Teakwood is an extremely tough, durable wood that was also used on the decks of battleships because of its water resistance.

The fact it would splinter and puncture the skin, and possibly the lungs of the driver in an accident was the main reason for discontinuing this option.

I purchased this wheel in 1975 at the Bob McDorman Corvette meet in Columbus Ohio.

It’s flawless and the only thing I have left of my Corvette days back in my hometown of Springfield, Illinois.
