JRHaelig Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Included with my '39 Special was an extra steering wheel. While the mounted one was obviously cast in red, the spare appears to be cast in amber resin. Is that the case, or did one age differently from the other?

1939_Buick Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 For '39' s they should be a dark maroon , the same color as the knobs on door handles (and the steering column) The plastic resin of those times did not last long or age well. Have read somewhere some started to crack after a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Any truth to Canadian 1939's having ivory trim and steering wheels instead of maroon? I saw one once and they guy swore it was original. It was a Canadian car originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
