Default walnut steering wheel

Could you get a Walnut or Rosewood steering wheel on a 69 SS nova? Was that an option for the nova?

Thanks!

Yes, Walnut wheels were used till about December of 68. Have one on my camaro which is an 11D car.
Were those type wheels an option on the novas whether it be Walnut or Rosewood?

Could a standard interior 69 SS nova get an optional &quot;wood&quot; wheel is the question.

Sammy...I'm pretty sure the wood wheel was not available on the 69 Novas.

The sport wheel was definitely a 1970 option.

Sammy
The option code would be N34 if it were avialable, and you are 100% correct on the early 69 wood wheels being walnut, have seen it before on early cars. The 69 N34 walnut wheel was not the same as the 68 N34 wheel.

CRG steering wheel stuff

A 69 N34 Walnut wheel
