Green tuff wheels?

[YY1]

Ever since I got me Satellite with it's F8 green interior, I've been pondering two things:

1- Why does my 98% unmolested and original car have a 99% green interior and a black steering wheel. The horn button was green, but the wheel is black.

I'm relatively sure it's original.

2- I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen a green tuff wheel. Besides black, I've seen red, tan (maybe even 2 shades), and two different shades of blue, but I don't think I've ever seen green.

You would think that with such a ridiculously high percentage of 70 and up Mopars being built with green interiors, that I'd have seen at least one at some point.

in all my days , ive seen the ones you posted and I even had a white one in a 76 aspen R/T, but ive have never seen a green one either.

As much as MoPar seemed to be hung up on green.......it was everywhere, you'd reckon they'd made one.....but I ain't ever seen one either.

*DISCLAIMER* I don't know **** since none of my MoPars run.

Maybe chalk this up the "why is an E body tuff wheel different than an A/B body?"

The A/B part is SO MUCH better (and ahead of it's time).

Think of all the money they could have saved on tooling if they'd just used the same wheel.

You mean like this one. Or the wheel with the center horn button.

I think this may be correct.

Don't know why I didn't think of it that way before.


Coronet14- that's the standard wheel with the upgrade center.

I'm talking about the small diameter, thick, foamy "Tuff" wheels with aluminum "spokes".

...THE BEST performance factory steering wheel EVER...until MUCH later (like the 90's).

The trans am wheels were close, but Mopar was first and offered across the A/B body lines.
