QOTD: What's Your Favorite Weird Steering Wheel?
I am asking you out there in the B and B -- do you have a favorite odd OEM steering wheel? Or are you totally indifferent to these kinds of things?
I am not sure I have a favorite, but I definitely remember some of the odder stuff from the '80s and '90s. Though my Fox body did NOT have the wheel shown in Matthew's piece -- it didn't have a driver's airbag.
It's your turn. You know what to do. Go ahead and sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The best was the fatter smaller diam formula wheel in the '70-'76 trans am, & similar in the Bricklin. But they were not weird.
1961 Imperial. Chrome horn bar and push button gear selector made it oh so memorable.
