Oh Lordy, I now own a Fordy (a Lincoln actually)..

Yup, That's the original rim blow steering wheel. And it still works.

Simon's great-grandson (my son) thinks the rim mounted horn element is the coolest thing. If you look closely, you can even see the two noticeable wear marks where my Grandfather would place his thumbs at the junction of the spokes at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions.

When we went back in the house, I showed my son one of Simon's sunglasses from the glove box that still had his great-grandfather's thumbprint on the lens. My son thought THAT was really cool. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I spent a couple hours with my son detailing the interior. Used half a bottle of leather cleaner. Everything inside is leather except for the door panels and dash.

Here's the results. That rectangular, silver decal on the ashtray door is the original seatbelt instructions that Simon never removed. So it stays put.

And I cleaned up and repainted the original dealer emblem that I neglected to install back in 1992 when we repainted the car. Stuck her back on in the original spot.
