How to remove odor from the steering wheel of a 67 Fury?

It might not work for a steering wheel (unless you take if off and put it in a box with this gadget) but I've used an ozone generator like this in several cars to get rid of smells:

It will completely get rid of tobacco smell after maybe 2 treatments. I'll run it in a closed car, with also a fan running in the car, for an hour. Timer will turn off the unit, but I'll leave the car closed for a few more hours. Never occupy an enclosed space when one of these things is running. I bought one about 5 years ago (yea, from China), probably $100. They work well.

Tried ozone. It works very little. Hardly noticed any difference.
 
Worth mentioning that you may also want to be careful with ozone generators - ozone degrades plastic, so you want to expose it long enough to get rid of any odours (although apparently in this case it may be ineffective) but not too long that it accelerates the breakdown of it
 
Get a cat and let her live in the car. You will not notice the stench from the wheel from that point on. Or a dog. Or a parrot.
