The Ford Barn

Who can tell me the story behind the Banjo Steering wheel? My 1935 has a plain looking large diameter black bakelite wheel. I am using it now. When I purchased my Ford back in 1991, there was a Banjo Wheel lying in the back seat.

I drove a nail in the wall in my barn and hung it there where it is still some 33 years later.

I've been wondering if I need to polish it up and use it instead... somewhere down the road when I can think of nothing else to do to the old gal.

I assume its just preference on which one to use. Thoughts?
