What would be the correct colors for the banjo wheel and column?
Thanks. FYI I did a search and spent an hr looking at every other steering wheel question....I gave up

The steering wheel hub and the column were painted Rustic Brown. That info can be found on page A-15 and 3-15 of the V-8 Club's 1937 Book. Page 3-15 just says brown but A-15 references Rustic Brown. If you don't have the book and are doing a '37 you should own that book. www.earlyfordv8.org.

Thank you TJ. Not restoring a whole car, just steering wheel and column for my early hot rod.

Here's the brown in question.

Brown for '37 deluxe - black for standard.

What a perfect example of what the interior on the 1937 Ford Deluxe should look like.

This is what the exterior of that nice 1937 Ford Convertible Cabriolet looks like. Perfection.

Excellent advice TJ!! All of the Early Ford V-8 Club books are definitely worth owning and full of valuable information.
