Re: Early Plastic Steering Wheel

Thanks for your reply and photos. I am fairly certain that I read in a period advert or book that the early cars had leather wrapped steering wheels.

Distributor Service

I was curious as to what interval a basic distributor service is required to be done and what is involved. Is it a time or mileage interval? As the car is only run about 1/2 the year and stored the other half, and with the orientation in the horizontal plane does this create any issues to maintain p...

Re: Coupe 2000 Instrument Bezels

My car also has black bezels, but I have seen cars with gold bezels as well. Mine is an early 67 and the car with gold bezels was a 68.
