Steering wheel and Column #1

[pkhammer]

  Seems like this might be Chrysler but not sure. I'd need to clean up real good to see if there's any markings.

Definitely Chrysler/Plymouth circa 27/28. # on steering box may narrow it down. Had one, sold 2 yrs ago.

Wow! That was fast! Thank you. I'll do some cleanup and see if I can find any numbers on the box.

[28 Chrysler]

I think that is for the 4 cylinder cars only.

Steering wheel looks similar to the 27 Chrysler 50 but the control levers are not 26/7/8 Chrysler 4. This may be Plymouth or Desoto.

I don't recognize the specific on this. However, those distinctive steering wheel spokes with variations of the wooden rim were used by Willys Knight and Overland models as well as several Chrysler products. 

A few years ago, I had a very similar wheel that had been adapted to fit a model T Ford on one of the after-market bodied boat-tail roadsters I used to have. My curiosity had me looking at a lot of cars trying to figure out what it had been on originally.

Here are pics of the steering wheel assembly I had, found it in a farmer's shed along with a 1928 Plymouth bumper. That was 1st year for Plymouth, so would not be surprised if this wheel appeared on other Chrysler products, perhaps with different controls. Sold entire assembly to someone out West. Hole in one spoke may have been for a spinner gizmo!
