NYLIBUD Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 NYC taxis used to always have them.I think the Checkers were built with them.Now as far as I know,they're illegal in NY,but I could be wrong.
Tom Geiger Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I didn't need a necker knob to do damage to myself. My '65 Barracuda had this steering wheel without power steering. Upon turning, the recoil of this wheel.. those metal spokes HURT! when a finger got in it's way. In fact I lost a pinkie nail that never grew back correctly! Edited January 26, 2018 by Tom Geiger
High octane Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 After being involved and hurt in an auto accident back in the 60's I bought a new car, and when I got it home I discovered it didn't have power steering. We (dad & I ) went back the next day and argued with the dealer. I thought that my dad was gonna rip his head off. They installed power steering at no charge if I recall.

Fabrux Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I have one on my 2018 Cascadia. Really helpful backing up trailers.
