Description :

Highly sought-after, 100% authentic factory original GM 17-inch steering wheel for the first-generation (C1) Chevrolet Corvette, spanning production years 1956 to 1962.

Unlike the common downsized 15-inch aftermarket reproductions flooding the market, this is a true-to-era, full-size 17-inch factory original wheel perfect for an authentic restoration or a period-correct cruiser.


  • GM Factory Stamping: The inner rear recess of the hub clearly displays the original, correct GM casting part number 3740348.
  • Factory Specs: Full 17-inch outer diameter configuration with the traditional fine-spline center pattern matching original C1 steering columns.
  • Three-Spoke Design: Features the classic brushed metal three-spoke layout with iconic graduated speed holes descending toward the hub.

Condition:

This wheel has been cleanly restored/refinished in a beautiful factory-style Turquoise / Frost Blue hue. The metal spokes are straight and free of severe pitting. As shown in the detailed close-up photos, the underlying factory assembly markers (including hint of the original red primer at the spoke-to-rim joint) remain beautifully preserved, proving its original pedigree rather than a modern reproduction mold. The internal column splines are clean and ready for installation.
