I did a deep dive into the archives but still have questions:
Q & A:
1. Is the faux wood steering wheel on a 1967 C2 and a 1968, C3 the same exact part?
2. What other 67, 68 GM cars came with this wheel?
More to the point, we own an April build 68 C3 & a September (1967) build 68 442 with the optional faux wood grain 3 spoke wheel.
The vette and Olds wheels are exactly the same and measure the same 16"x 4.25 deep(dish). The only difference is the center cap color and insignia. Olds is always black on a 68. For 68 Olds A bodies this was the only year this option was offered. Not offered on 67 down or 69 and up.
Other Oldsmobile owners are going round n round on whether or not the 67 or 68 vette wheel is the same. I say yes to the 68 but not sure on 67.
I do know vette, 67-68 both have the overlapping lower spoke.
I do know the 63, 64-66 vettes are different designs. There was a separate Teak option for vette in 65-66.
I do know the 69 and up vette wheel is different. No faux wood, but black. The centers have different mounting tabs 69-76.
