Extreme Veteran Posts: 427 Location: Ohio | Not the actual “steering wheel” but related, the plain horn ring used on 1959 Dodge models was also used on 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca models with 3-speed on the column manual transmission The attached picture is a steering wheel from a 1960 Dodge Seneca. The steering wheel is hard plastic. Edited by Space Trukin Wagon 2020-09-27 12:46 AM Attachments ---------------- 41468D53-CC86-4BAA-AE6D-67BA2F619665.jpeg (77KB - 179 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 4036 Location: Connecticut | Two types of steering wheels - rubber and plastic. Rubber was single tone. Plastic, aka optional 'Deluxe' wheel was two tone. No differentiation between standard and auto trans. Ron | ||

Expert Posts: 4036 Location: Connecticut | dodge59 - 2020-09-27 11:58 AM here is a pic of a steering wheel in a 59 police car That's a 57 Plymouth standard wheel. Non-stock, but if you are purchasing a fleet of cars, there could be substitutions made I assume. Ron Edited by ronbo97 2020-09-27 7:16 PM | ||
