68 Deluxe Steering Wheel Question

[427.060]

Just because an Ebay ad say deluxe doesn't mean it's the deluxe wheel. There were a few different steering wheels made for the 1968 year. The delxue one is the only one that has a shroud that mounts to it. If it is a 1968 steering wheel and it has the 3 bolt/screw holes in it, it is the delxue wheel. The part number on the one I have are 9747698.

The vendors have added to the confusion by advertising a 68 deluxe wheel that is not the one we're referring to. This reproduction wheel does not accept the shroud and does not have the ribbed face along its bottom third.

Is the wheel referenced in my second post, third one down, considered a deluxe wheel? The center is different but the wheel itself looks the same.

It looks like the 68 deluxe wheel but it's hard to tell from the pictures. It just doesn't have the shroud with it. One way to tell the 68 deluxe wheel is they have the ribs or groves on the lower half of the wheel.

The wheel in the Ebay auction looks to be a 68 CAMARO standard wheel. They probably are calling it deluxe since it is the same wheel used in 67. In 67, you could get a 3 spoke wheel with no insert, a 3 spoke wheel with chrome insert(like the one in the auction), a 3 spoke wheel that was considered deluxe(like Pace Cars), and a walnut wheel. In 68, I believe camaros got the wheel with the satin insert(like in the auction) stardard, with the deluxe and walnut wheels being optional.
