Did they use the clear top steering wheels on Firebirds? I was under the impression that was only a big car thing.

Is that wheel in the lower left pic a clear top? It appears to be. So they were available on birds in 67. Thanks.

I am pretty sure the clear top wheel option is shown in the '67 'bird parts book.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
