Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Sunday, April 8, 2018 -- one [grille, steering wheel wood cleaning and "Brooklands" style aero windshield]

Very heavy & pretty well made.  Don't know what it's off of.  Guessing something British...


Mid-process of cleaning the wood on this old steering wheel.  The dark stuff appears to just be dirt!  Will treat the wood with "cherry color" Danish Oil after the cleaning.


Not very practical for street cars but looks fantastic on period race cars (mostly British), especially if you have a fold down windshield (or removable for racing).  These are in pretty rough "used" condition and I don't have the mounting brackets for one of the windshields.  The guy I bought it from said he will find them and mail them to me.  We'll see...


They make reproductions at a very reasonable price (anywhere from about $100 to $200 each, on various websites...)
