Did Ford or anybody make a smaller steering wheel for the Model A? I looked at a 28 phaeton at Chickasha with a different steering wheel. This wheel was the same size at 17 inches but was dished in towards the dash.
Just curious, its hard to get in and out of a 28 0o 29 roadster or phaeton. thanks

Ford did make a steering wheel in late 31 that was dished "out" not in for the stand drives

Book describes at least a couple of modified steering wheels that were sold to Model A markets. One the "Fatman" wheel is smaller in diameter, which has been seen on Ebay recently.

At nearly $500 a little pricey for my wallet.

I've seen two stock steering wheels where someone pushed the rim forward to reverse the dish. It didn't even crack the material on the 4 spokes.
