Is this an aftermarket steering wheel? Anyone know who makes it or one like it? I really like the way it looks.

Hi Jon. Sorry I can't answer your question but I bought that same wheel used on eBay about 1 1/2 years ago. Ordered the exact same horn button from Rick's. The steering wheel had no markings or numbers on it anywhere so I doubt it's GM. Good luck, and I too like the wheel alot....

I just looked on eBay and there's a Grant wheel with the exact same spokes. It's woodgrain, not black. Try Grant's.....

It's a 1969-1975 Corvette and 1969-1975 Buick "Cushion Rim" steering wheel. Available aftermarket for around $150.00. You'll also need the install kit and the hub, also available aftermarket. That particular one looks to be the 1969-1970 Buick version with the "Thumb Groove".

It's the "cushioned rim" which is RPO NK1 and was said to be available around April '69 but is believed never released for production in a Camaro.

Found on Vettes and many Buicks where several colors were used. It's a great wheel for the '69 Camaro though...

Thanks guys.. Steering wheel is one of those items that you don't know how it will look, until you see one in a car. I think I know what I want now.

Thanks again...

I think that I've also seen that also referred to as the 'Comfort Grip Steering Wheel'.

I also believe you could order them on Impalas back in the day.

Very commonly used name for the wheel, I think derived from the comfort-tilt steering colume name.

Could be but don't ever recall hearing that before...

Correct, but only for 1970. Offered on the Chevelle, Monte Carlo and Full Sized cars.
