Steering Wheels
Short answer: The 1967 and 1968 steering wheels are completely different. The 1967 standard wheel is a solid-color 3-spoke with brushed-aluminum spoke caps and a brushed center cap with a turquoise Pontiac-V emblem; the 1967 Deluxe is similar but with a clear-plastic upper half (and is smaller and a bit thicker than the standard wheel). For 1968 the spokes got wider, the horn buttons went from brushed aluminum to color-keyed plastic, and the center cap changed to the early Firebird emblem.
There were three wheels per year:
- Standard: 1967 = 3-spoke color-keyed plastic with die-cast horn button; 1968 = 3-spoke color-keyed plastic with brushed horn button (green insert) and brushed spoke trim.
- Deluxe: 1968 = 3-spoke color-keyed plastic with a rubber “Bird”-emblem horn button (ivory or black).
- Custom (Sport, simulated wood): 1967 and 1968 = simulated-wood plastic rim, 3 brushed spokes, die-cast horn button (the 1968 isn’t as deep as the 1967).
