Wow Jim thanks for posting that. I knew it was a recall but I had no idea it was considered that dangerous. I have my original Teal color one that was terribly cracked, and a black one that is not so bad. I will have to check and see if the black one has that plate on the underside. Would you know if it is possible to repair these? Can you epoxy them back into some kind of reliable shape? Or are they just too far gone? Funny GM would say that about them. My hardtop car was bought by a girl that lived across the street from me in 1968. She was not very big and I doubt she put much weight on the steering wheel ever. I was at the Englishtown swap meet and car show many moons go. A guy had a 1968 Firebird convertible and his Deluxe steering wheel was in perfect condition. He had never heard of the recall, and said as far as he knew the wheel was original to the car. But he did wonder why he had never seen one on any other Firebird.
