I BELIEVE THIS IS A 1949-51 MERCURY STEERING WHEEL BASED ON THE RESEARCH I DID AND WHAT THE GENTLEMAN THAT I ACQUIRED THIS FROM TOLD ME. IF I AM WRONG LET ME KNOW. I INCLUDED A NUMBER OF PICS SO LOOK AT THEM BEFORE YOU BID. I BELIEVE THIS COULD FIT A NUMBER OF FORD PRODUCTS FROM THAT ERA. AGAIN MAKE SURE IT IS WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE BIDDING!! THIS PART WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE OLD CAR MISSING ONE OR AS A RESTORATION PIECE. IN CURRENT CONDITION IT IS DARN GOOD. IT HAS VERY FEW OF THE TYPICAL CRACKS THESE WHEELS GET AROUND THE CENTER AND ON THE RIM. A COUPLE WORTH NOTING THAT ARE SMALLER OVERALL ON THE LOWER SIDE AT THE SPOKES. THERE IS VERY VERY LITTLE MATERIAL LOSS. MAYBE A COUPLE OF LITTLE CHIPS ON THE BACK AT THE CENTER. THE TRIM IS GOOD TOO WITH VERY VERY LIGHT PITTING AND JUST A HINT OF SURFACE RUST BEGINNING. OVERALL THE FINISH IS PRETTY SMOOTH ON THE WHEEL. EVEN THE SPRING SEEMS GOOD ON THE RIM. THIS IS NOT A HIGH DOLLAR WHEEL BUT IT IS VERY USEABLE AND AND VERY VERY RESTORABLE. ANYWAY, YOU JUST DON'T FIND THESE OUT THERE. ESPECIALLY AT A REASONABLE PRICE. ON A SCALE OF 1-5, I RATE THE PART A 4 MINUS, based on age rarity and condition. DON'T MISS OUT!
COOL WALL ART TOO!

I try to be honest about what I sell. Almost all of these old parts have imperfections. Unless you are willing to spend big money for them the best you can do are look for those in GOOD shape which this is.

These old car parts are becoming more and more scarce. After 8 years of selling over a 5000 items we've come to this conclusion. If we can't sell the parts for a reasonable price, we're going to warehouse them. This is especially true of the nice parts and more unusual parts. All they can do is go up in value. Our point is this. We've got the space and the means to collect and store what we sell. Having said that don't be surprised if we run an item only once or twice and if it doesn't sell it doesn't show back up. Please don't misunderstand us. We want and do appreciate your business. It just doesn't make sense to us to spend time and money relisting items over and over when almost all of these parts have only one way to go in the future. UP.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO SEVERAL NON-PAYERS WE HAVE ADDED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT MEANT FOR THOSE TYPE OF BIDDERS. WHILE THE VAST MAJORITY OF BUYERS PAY FOR WHAT THEY BID ON, WE HAVE RECENTLY SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN UNPAID ITEMS. SO>>>IF YOU PLAN ON BIDDING PLEASE PLAN ON PAYING. . THANKS. HAPPY BIDDING.
