Steering Wheels II

[Logan]

Has there been any further thought from the manufacturing fund about producing the Kaiser pearlite steering wheels?

I have one needing restoration when the time comes to send them to whom ever takes this one eventually.

Was the Pearlite steering wheel ever reproduced?  All of the ones that I have seen were white.

KF Pearlite steering wheels are white as far as I know.  They are not translucent like some other companies' Pearlite.  Of course they do look fancier than the painted white rubber wheels.

I recently purchased a Steering wheel for my '53, a survivor from those refurbished in years past, A Member in Fl. answered my ad for a intake/exhaust  manifold and mentioned he had two of them, had held onto them all those years, the price was well worth it, sure is an improvement for my all original '53. still have the cracked one.

Yeah, I still have my reproduction by the club from the 90s, but I no longer have my Kaiser! The steering wheel has never left its box.

Logan,

are you looking to sell your boxed reproduction steering wheel for my 53?

[Logan]

I don't think so. I keep thinking it's for a future Kaiser. Both of my '53s (Manhattan, Dragon) had semi-cracked, but completely usable ones, so I never pulled it out of the box. I think I'll probably keep it around for my next Kaiser.
