There's a REALLY nice '40 coupe in my area. Sheridan blue with a red interior. Beautiful car EXCEPT for the 1980's Firebird column in it with the Firebird wheel still on it! You have brought great shame upon yourself, sir.
Firebird steering wheels aside, is there really an aesthetic difference between a real GM column and a repro?

The thing that kills me is the column key switch. That thing HAS to go.
