Vintage 1950's Ford Steering Wheel Original on 2040-parts.com
Marysville, Kansas, US
Up for bid is a very nice to excellent original vintage Ford Steering wheel. I belive it's for the late 1950's car. I don't know the model, but I bet you do! The wheel is black and in really nice condition. I don't see any of the cracking that you see so often in older cars. There is some wear and a few nicks perhaps from the driver's ring. The white on the wheel is paint and comes off with my fingernail, however, I don't want to risk damaging it so will let the new owner remove it. The center has a bit of paint missing, but the chrome is nice and shiny. The diameter when the wheel attaches to the column is 4". The outside diameter of the steering wheel is 18".

Citroën invites design ideas via Facebook
Wed, 04 Apr 2012Citroën has launched a Facebook app calling for users to select design features for what it calls a special edition car, the first crowdsourced car in the UK. Rather than the genuinely design-led competitions we've seen recently from Renault (Twizy) and Citroën's own DS3, ‘You Like It, We Make It', offers six configurations such as exterior and interior color scheme, technology options like Bluetooth and SatNav, alloys, and the number of doors the vehicle has. The Citroeën C1 Connexion special edition will be kitted out with the most popular ideas and those participating via the app will be in with a chance of winning the car when it goes on sale later in the year.
Study links low-speed collision-avoidance system to fewer accidents
Tue, 19 Jul 2011A study of the Volvo XC60's low accident rate offers evidence that collision avoidance systems can improve vehicle safety. The XC60, which has a low-speed collision avoidance system dubbed City Safety, was involved in 27 percent fewer property damage accidents than other mid-sized luxury SUVs, according to a report released Tuesday by the Highway Loss Data Institute. The XC60 also was involved in 51 percent fewer bodily injury accidents.
Nissan may build more Leaf EVs to meet growing demand
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Nissan is making plans to begin building more electric Leafs as dealers clamor for more of the once slow-selling car. The automaker's North American factory chief -- who has been visiting with retailers in recent days -- cautions that production will move ahead in small and careful steps. But Nissan is already taking measures to increase its output of electric motors from its engine factory in Decherd, Tenn., says Bill Krueger, Nissan Americas vice chairman and senior vice president for manufacturing, purchasing production engineering and supply chain management.
