That '23 KIssel has the same 'slide-away' steering wheel the '19 Gray Dort has in the photo I posted on the second page.

Craig - that style steering wheel is commonly known as a “fat man steering wheel”. There were several styles. This one is a Neville steering wheel, used by Kissel and others as either stock or after market options. You need these on some hard to get into models.

Here is a 'fatman' wheel in a 1938 Studebaker: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/general-studebaker-specific-discussion/69334-picture-of-a-horn-button-for-1938-commander

Purchased this book titled "Dashboards" by David Holland many years ago, published in 1994 by Phaidon Press, you should seek out a copy, not sure if it is still in print . Wonderful photos of about 50 dashboards (and car particulars spread over 225 pages) of some well known makes, European and American.  Will post a few examples, 1938 MB 540K, 1939 Maybach DS8, 1955 MB 300SLR, Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, Aston Martin Ulster, Bentley 3 litre 1926, Bugatti Type 13 1913, Bugatti Type 51 1932, MB SSK 38 250 1929, and Rolls Royce 20 (Howdaw 1925). the 1925 Rolls fittings are wonderful, but imagine sitting behind the 1929 MB SSK! or the Alfa 2300C, or the 1926 Bentley. Vroom! American cars include Duesenberg Model J, 1937 Chrysler Imperial, Cord, Model T, Corvette, Packard, Willys Jeep, Cadillac Eldorado, Edsel, Buick Le Sabre.
