  • Steering Wheel Diameter

    OK, my cars and I are approximately 15 miles apart, so it's not like I can just go to the garage and check this. What diameter are the 1964 (I'm sure these are used for other years) steering wheels? 15"?
    14-1/2"? Any idea?

      My '64 Daytona measured 17" left to right and 15-3/4" top to bottom. This was outer end to outer end through the wheel center point. I'm not sure if this difference is designed in, or the effect of someone always pulling down on the wheel from the top. Visually it does not look distorted. And, I'm not sure if it being a Canadian, white steering wheel makes any difference.

          All '61 to '66 Studebaker Car Steering Wheels are Square.
          Yours is probably just fine!
