67 Steering Wheel

[William C.]

How do you tell an original 67 steering wheel from a reproduction?

William, the ones I looked at were very obvious. The wood graining was overly done in color, not so much in the texture, not sure how to explain it, and the color was not even close to the original brown- a lot lighter. Also, they all had little holes in the plastic on the back side of the wheel from the molding process.

I've also been told (and seen in person during judging) that the corner edges of the spokes on repro's are sharp while known originals are more rounded and not sharp at all.
