I don't think it's deerskin, but I bought a very nice leather steering wheel from MAD and I'm quite happy with it. It has a thicker grip and a better feel than the skinny, stock wheel that originally came with my '69.

Chuck Pelton here on the forum will restore your steering wheel to new condition. Mine is perfect that he did. He also does them for the major corvette companies too I believe.
