Banjo steering wheel

Posted by DrMorbius On 2016/8/19 15:42:21

I recently was sold a banjo steering wheel (I like the look of them) that I would have restored except it was really for a 1938 Packard, the central base is different because the 1939 model houses part of the shifting mechanism which the '38 does not. I understand my '39 Super-8 shares it's steering wheel with the model 120 (and possibly the 6 cylinder model too?). My question is did Packard use a true banjo wheel as a choice for 1939 as well as the flat bars, which came with my car or did they do away with the true banjo style and only the flat bars was available?

Thanks,

Steve
