ivory CHP Polara steering wheel

[hotpursuit]

Ok, everyone... I'm looking for an extremely rare ivory steering wheel, used by CHP '69 Polaras. Mine is cracked into about 20 pieces. I think I'll find a unicorn before I get one of these wheels. Oh well, any leads are appreciated!

I plan on having one made. Sometime in the next month or two I'll be contacting a company that did one for a friends 66 CHP Polara. Although it is a different wheel all he needs is a good original. The 69 wheel is the same shape as the A/B body wheel and they may have the mold already. The one they did for his 66 looks perfect! at $1200 it better.

I don't have the contact info yet, I can get it if you are interested, maybe they can do a bulk deal.

He has unicorns?

 

[68plymouth383]

He might.... I know he has a few police cars in his stash.

He has unicorns?

The odds that an original wheel is in existence is highly unlikely. These are not just the same wheel in white, they are a translucent material that doesn't just crack in time they disintegrate. So my money is on the unicorn.

There is a great vendor that comes to Carlisle every year and he restores them by recasting. I can't remember who it was but we discussed it here a few times...
Anybody have a flashback and remember who it is???

I was going to have him restore my NY'er steering wheel until I found the blue leather one and made it work.

Even if you found an original it would be in the same shape. Dennis Crooks of Quality restorations did mine.

What was his cost?

What was his cost?

$ 1,100.00 and that was a little over a year ago.

Thanks. Where is Quality Restorations located?

I think this is the same place my friend used on his 66.
