Dear Chuck, 455pev, Mark, Jim, Milton, Arthur, Loren, Dan, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,
So sorry to hear that there was a suppler of these steering wheels who simply abandoned the project without passing it on to someone else. There are two challenges in getting these steering wheels back to their former glory. The first is restoring the plastic and the second is restoring the chrome on the horn bar. At the time restoring the plastic didn't look impossible (even if apparently now it is,) but restoring the chrome of the horn bar sure looked like "Mission Impossible." Since I wasn't trying to keep my wagon especially original, that is why I adapted a Grant steering wheel instead. Apparently the Buick GS rally steering wheel is also being reproduced so that's another option.
If you really want to keep that 1965 chrome horn bar, what do you guys suggest in order to restore that?
Oh well,. . . . . Edouard
