68 CJ ivy gold steering wheel?
« on: October 05, 2012, 06:06:54 PM »
68 CJ coupe
Highland green exterior
2-tone ivy gold interior

What color was the steering wheel, outer pad and center pad?
Is it possible the center pad was woodgrain from the factory
even though plastic dash panels were textured black?

Any pictures available?

Roger,
The deluxe woodgrain steering wheel was a stand alone option on the '68; so if your wheel is woodgrain it would have the wood grain center pad insert with the black dash.  If the Marti report does not call out a woodgrain wheel it would be like the pictures Jeff posted.

I believe that the deluxe wheel was a stand alone option in 67 in 68 it was available only as part of Decor Interior Group.

I read his post as "if only the center were wood grain"   The reason for my response ;)
