Thanks for the information. I may clean it up and see if it's worth swapping out on my '35.
RE: 'If your '35 has a black steering wheel rather than one painted a sort-of taupe color, your car is likely a standard model.' I honestly can't say if it was painted or not in the past. A lot of weathering and fading had occurred over those 60 plus years.
From what I can figure... since my old gal came with a 1955 license plate... I imagine it sat 36 years before I found it. Then it sat another 30 years before life allowed me begin to restore her.
Either way... if it's an upgrade item... I may see if I can dress her up a bit more and give her a Banjo steering wheel.
Take care!
