Default Wood or black grant steering wheel in my 67?

Hi,

I am about to replace my old and cracked steering wheel and I love the grant design. I saw a black one once and loved it. I actualy have never seen the wood one yet...

Which one would you pick?

Thanks! (still 14 days to wait until I get the car back with rebuilt engine and T5 )

For just a little bit more coin you can get a nice repop of the deluxe 65-66 wooden Mustang wheel. Light years ahead of the Grants. I had that exact wheel in my fastback for years but I am MUCH happier with the repop deluxe model.

check the diameters of the wheels. the black one looks smaller and you'll curse it uif you don't have power steering ...

I vote NO Grant. Grant wheels are historically piles of crap. The horn assembly is a disaster, and the design hasn't changed in decades. 90% of the people I've talked to that have one are unhappy with it because either the horn fell off or the wiring shorted and they had to disconnect it.

I like the wood as well. I had black and plan to change to the wood. I like the one retro77 posted more.
