Re: IML: 1960 Imperial Steering Wheels

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Keep an eye on Ebay. Every so often one will turn up with a round 
wheel. We have seen several there the last couple of years. Some of the 
pictures may have been saved on the OIC web site. In real life I had 
only seen one car this way. It was a Custom Two Door Southampton 
Alaskan White with green interior and no options. It even had crank 
windows. It had a radio, heater, defroster, and clock, but I don't 
remember if they were extra on Custom or not. Too lazy to go check at 
the moment.

If you have a 60 parts book, you will see that the round wheels are 
listed. I have an NOS black frost round wheel I bought from Mitchell's 
about 20 years ago,

The book Imperial: 1957-1963 has photos of the interior of a 60 Custom 
with the round wheel. I've never seen photos of one other than those.

I vaguely remember reading a period magazine article saying that "those 
who prefer the round wheel can order one instead" or something to that 
effect.

I was just looking at a '60 Crown sedan on E-bay and noticed what 
appears to be s stock steering wheel on the car except it is round.  
Mine on the other hand is more rectangular.  Where different shaped 
wheel an option in 1960?  I see no mention of it in any of the 
literature I've looked at.
