Walnut steering wheel
Was there such thing as a "real walnut wood" steering wheel for mid year Vettes as opposed to the "plastic walnut wood" steering wheel. I know about and own a "real teak" steering wheel. Can someone clarify this for me.

If it was going to be on any Chevy car it would have been the Corvette. but I don't think the safety laws for the 67 model year would allow real wood for steering wheels.

Here's a pretty interesting site on GM steering wheels of the late 60s and early 70s. It is focused on Camaros, but has a lot of good photos of other GM products

The reason for the post was, a person has an E-bay listing #300421468169 for a walnut steering wheel for a Vette. I e-mailed the person and asked if it was plastic simulated wood. He said no. Then sent another e-mail stating the facts of it being plastic...no response! Dennis
