What car did the "2 spoke" wheel come out of ? I think they came on early push buttons. Was it installed by Ford ?

You are correct. Do you know where I could find one?
I think it was only the very early pushbuttons 1306 doesn't have one how about you LPB
But did they come from a diff. car ?

I don't think so Brad, I think it was an aftermarket wheel, similar to a Momo. I have seen older pictures of Gp 4 Panteras with that same 2 blade steering wheel. I believe the brand was Ferrero, but don't hold me to that, OK?
Your friend on the DTBB
thank you G
No, My 1362 came with a three spoke. Allen Morris has one on his car. The datails are in PI Fall 2005 page 27. His car 1252.

If I remember right Allen had to find that wheel. His car didn't have one, I bet those two spoke wheels only came on the very early Pushbutton cars maybe the ones prior to importing in to US
My car was fairly stock I have no reason to believe someone would have removed that nice two spoke and installed the capri wheel.
Finding out they are very hard to find

Makes sense. That early steering wheel is too nice for someone to replace it with the ugly stock Capri wheel.
They came on the pusbuttons. Mine (1303) had a regular 3 spoke wheel. I have been told that most early cars came over to US with the Ferraro wheel which got tossed in the trash at the dealership. Mine has holes under the Ford side mirror also where it had the bullet style mirror.
