Buickborn Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Here's some good news and bad news. The good news: I have one of these hubs in beautiful condition, with only slight cracking visible in the very center -- completely clear otherwise -- and the rim is nicely replated. Bad news #1 (maybe for a Special): very prominent gold POWER STEERING lettering in upper arc of the hub; Bad news #2: I really do not want to separate the hub from the rest of the wheel, also in beautiful condition (very dark blue -- passed easily for black in the black Roadmaster from which I removed it). Will part with the whole works for $250 + shipping. Incidentally, the reason I removed this fine '53 wheel from my 76R is that the car is a fifty-FOUR.. It took me 15 years to find a black '54 wheel as nice as the '53 it replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The 53 banjo is my favorite of Buicks steering wheels and had planned to use one on a 54 hot rod project and would have gladly swapped you a nice black 54 wheel Buickborn. Not a bad price for a really nice and complete banjo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953mack Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. How about a little less than 1,000 quarters for this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Buick-Horn-Button-Very-Nice-/151402860911?hash=item234050516f:g:m~QAAOSwnDZUCh7Y&vxp=mtr Al Malachowski BCA #8965 "500 Miles West of Flint" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
