I am attaching three pix of Series 526 steering wheels. I'm guessing plain black was standard. What was the cost of each? How common are the all wood ones? Are they reproduced?

Thanks,

Phil

Those steering wheels are subject to variations. As I recall Turnquist's 443 had the wood grained bezel. Attached is a picture of a wooden wheel with what looks to be a wood grained outer bezel and black hub.

I don't think anybody is modifying those cars to their tastes. Packard was hanging what they had lying around. I've even seen the wooden wheel on a sixth series car.
