My NOS steering wheel and horn button.

How many 50 year old cars could you buy an NOS steering wheel and horn button for $110 bucks? I am so darn cheap, this Rambler is perfect for me.

OMG - I forgot how simple those Rambler dash boards were.

Good score, Brian.

Whats the diameter of the wheel? I like the simple look of it. Wonder if the splines are the same as a 56 chevy truck?

The dash has the one cluster with a water temp gauge, fuel gauge and idiot lights for the oil pressure and charging. That one came out of my "wrecking yard" (parts car out back ) and is in MUCH better condition than the old one. I was thinking they both had about 55K miles (the odometers are only about 300 miles apart!) but I am pretty sure now that the parts car is a true 55k while the coupe I am driving is 155K.

Kal, I have no idea if the splines are the same. I do have a 48 Chevy so I could check it. But I could also send you the center out of one of these wheels being I have the old cracked up junk wheel I was going to throw away. If you would like to give it a try PM me.
