37silverstreak Posted March 3, 2024 Report Posted March 3, 2024 Hi, Any 1949 P18 experts here? I have a question about the color of the Steering wheels . I have a P18 Special DeLuxe 4dr sedan with an all original interior. The color of the steering wheel is a dark brown that matches the steering column. I have seen a lot of "49s that have an ivory colored steering wheel, which I like a lot more. There is only one part number in the parts book (1142564) which matches the number on my steering wheel. So, I am wondering if the ivory color was an option? I have all the period literature for my car and it makes no mention of an optional steering wheel? Was it a dealer option or something? So if anyone has any insight I would love to know about it! Thanks for your help! Quote
Young Ed Posted March 4, 2024 Report Posted March 4, 2024 I don't know for 49s but 50-52s which share quite a bit with the 49s had ivory wheels. Quote
