There are a few of us here on the DCR that have been discussing for awhile now which is the desired center cap for the 1966 and 1967 Coronet wood grain steering wheels. Some like myself prefer the metal cap and others prefer the padded cap like you have. It's also been heavily debated which is actually the correct cap as we've found both styles on various cars.

Regarding the missing parking brake warning light assembly on the dash of your current 66 Coronet, is it a base, or Deluxe trim level model? If so that might explain why the assembly isn't there. That's what makes these old cars so interesting, just when you think something can't be, a car turns up that proves you wrong!

Hello Zoran,

I'm sorry my friend, but nobody that I know of is offering a direct replacement reproduction wood grain steering wheel that looks even close to the original 1966-67 wood grain steering wheel. Grant does make a decent looking wood grain wheel as shown below, but as you can see, it doesn't look like your original 1967 factory wheel. It does feature a real wood grip and stainless steel spokes as well as an installation kit, so it looks to be a high quality product at a fair price and I've always liked the Grant steering wheels that I've used in the past.

P.G. Classics which is located in Canada and also supplies a lot of parts to B/E&A Restoration Parts located in Ohio also sells a wood grain steering wheel that they say will fit all 1966 through 1969 A, B and C-Body cars, but it looks similar to the later model wood grain wheels rather than the original 1966-67 wheel. It will also run you a lot more money than the Grant wheel!

Good info..I guess I have to keep scouring ebay and my contacts for one..If you come across one and you are not hording it..let me know.

Will do Zoran, but the original 1966-67 Wood grain wheels that you'll be looking for are usually very pricey and most always need restoration, so you'll need a contact that could properly restore one of those wheels.
