NOS 1961 Steering Wheel on e bay

The part # on the box (765899) doesn't match the wheel. According to my 1961 manual, that part # is for a deluxe blue wheel. This is clearly a standard wheel of some sort.

It may be a standard wheel for an F-85. You don't see very many of them, & none are illustrated in the dealer album. However, the dealer album specifically describes the F-85 standard wheel as having an elliptical horn button in the center of the wheel with vertical grooves. Unfortunately I don't have any parts books that cover the F-85.

I don't think I've ever seen a '61 full-sized standard wheel. It's not illustrated or described in the literature either. Perhaps someone else can help out here.

Are you looking for a wheel for your bubble coupe?

Thanx, yes I am looking for a wheel for the coupe. The one on it now has a good sized crack in the base. The diameter of the wheel is 17" according to the seller. I think the F-85 is smaller and not as deep as the one in the pic

Thanx, dave
