Ford used them in the late 70s and into the mid 80s. They were in Mustangs, Capris, Fairmonts, Zephyrs, Bronco IIs, F100/150, Thunderbird, and Cougars. Some used the turn signal stalk for the horn and those wheels don't have the contacts on the back. They were made in rubber-like material on the grip (most of them), but every once in a while a leather one comes up for sale.

That's one without the horn contacts.

That wheel was used on some mustang II models (74-78). I had a black 1978 4-speed fastback with that style wheel and slotted rims. Wish I had it back.

That's what I'm using as well. I think mine was from a '79 Mustang. I like it as much as any aftermarket wheel I've seen around.
I think I shot this with the wide angle lens so it's a bit distorted.
Looks great, I think this is the direction I'm going to go with mine. Thanks for the pic!

I have the original steering whell from my 73 convert - looks like fake padded one. Decent shape- maybe $30?
I am local to Rochester, NY

My $160 Grant wheel is Big, like stock, works fine. In 3 years I had one incident where the horn wanted to beep on its own. A small gentle wiggle fixed it and it has not returned. The biggest negative is the spokes have pretty sharp edges compared to expectations….
