Bills72sj Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Does anyone know what kits that have a 4 spoke style steering wheel like this?
Casey Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 JO-HAN '70 Olds Cutlass and Revell '72 Olds Cutlass convertible.

I have both of those but would like to keep them with their kits. However, I am seeking one for my 74 H/O Pace Car project. Any other Olds kits or other GM brands make a similar 4 spoke?
Mark Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Pretty sure that four spoke steering wheel was an Olds only deal. That's back when GM still made some effort to differentiate between brands.
GEORGE LEMIRE Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 My Old Pro 72 Nova has one that is very similar. Here is a photo of the wheel, i have a spare if you need it . George
Mark Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 You might check the Model Car Garage PE sets for Oldsmobiles. If you get anything, it will be the spoke section and possibly the horn button emblem. You'd be on your own for a steering wheel rim and hub.

I check and saw a lot of cool detail kits but no 4 spoke steering wheels.

I cast these ones, but I’m not 100% sure what kit the original was from. Possibly the Revell ‘37 Ford Coupe Street Rod? I know I don’t have any Oldsmobile kits.
NOBLNG Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 I think that was it. This one is in the ‘37 Ford Sedan kit. They are 1/24 scale so the OD of the wheel is .671”.

Thank you for sharing. It turns out I have a 37 Ford kit that the glass is missing. I will never build it but it has some pretty nice parts in it. I just robbed the steering wheel.
