That's the deluxe wheel for 68.....came on everthing as an option or with an interior package.Very cool wheel and super tough to find...I have a NOS one for my car and still put on a NOS wood wheel cause there easier to find if/when it cracks..

Based on the pics of the 68 Chevelle SS396 supercarkid just posted, my guess is your wheel is from a Camaro, the chevelle has just an "SS" emblem... although the SS396 emblem could have been a midyear change? I have one of these 68 wheels with a SS427 emblem from an Impala.. pretty cool.

Belair, I do not know what the SS 396 wheel emblem is for, but it is not for the Camaro. Joe and Belair, here is a pic of my unrestored survivor SS 396 Camaro wheel. It only has the SS emblem in the center.

There is a 1968 SS 396 Chevelle over here with SS396 on it's steering wheel shroud.It is a December,Baltimore built car.It looks Original to the car,as he has owned it since 1979 with that emblem.

Tom, If you have one of these steering wheels that you want to replace, you may want to consider having it restored. There is a place about 50 miles from me that specializes in restoring old steering wheels. It is going to cost me $250 to $300 to have mine done. They say it takes about 3 weeks to complete. The name of the place is Automotive Specialities. They are located in Easley, South Carolina. Phone # is 1-800-676-1928. I think they have an ad in Hemmings.

Tom, Gateway Reproductions had one A while back that had been off A car and on the wall for most of its existence. I spoke with Jim when I dealt with them, they did A great job with the things I needed. Gateway is in Winfield, MO (636)566-6666. Those wheels are 68 only wheels having the small ridges from the center down and the "SS396" emblem was for the Chevelle and the ChevyII and Camaro only had "SS" from what I have seen and read. The Sun really reaked havoc on them, I found A "yard" last summer with six Chevelles in A row and all the Steering wheels were cracked beyond repair.
