'67 Fury I on the left, '68 Fury I on the right...

Not many pictures taken there. I try to take a bunch next year...

I bit the bullet and got it done. It was VERY pricey, but it looks beautiful:

Just a quick question on the '66-'68 Tilt-Telescopic steering wheels. Are the wheels all interchangeable between years? I'm not talking about the columns...just the steering wheel itself. -Gregg B.

Here is what my steering wheel looks like now.

Mine is a gold translucent material...kind of looks like amber. So, filling with JB Weld and painting is not an option.

No... car show (arrived early) in North St. Paul this last August...

Maybe they could make and Amber Ale and call it Imperial Bronze...
