'56 and '57 Bird wheels are 17", '56 cars are 18".  Horn rings are the same, Bird and passenger.  The wheels will fit the column.  Ford did not list a red wheel for Birds, even though Fiesta was an external color in '56.  They must have come with black and white interiors.  If NPD and T-B don't list the '56 red, you'll have to paint it to match.

Does anybody know if the steering wheels from a 55-57 T-bird are the same as a '56 Fairlane?  How about the colors?

Im asking because ive rebuilt my wheel (on a 56 sunliner) once, and it came out ok, but not great... Ive noticed that tee-bird prods and NPD have repro wheels, in various colors, but only listed for the T-Bird.  I thought they weree the same between the 56-57 t-bird and 56 fairlane, but???  Also, how about the colors?  My interior is fiesta red.

Thanks!
