Interchange in 1988 Cutlass and 1988 98
Hey...does anyone know if steering wheels between an 88 Cutlass and a 98 will interchange? Found one that looks the same, but not sure if it will or not...anyone know?
Thanks!
Matt

It might work, though in '88, there was the RWD Cutlass Classic AND the FWD Cutlass (W-body, GM10 platform). I'd say the RWD Cutlass wheel would work, not so sure about the FWD Cutlass wheel (and I'll bet that one would look horrible, regardless). I beleive a Cutlass Ciera (FWD, A-body) wheel from that year (or thereabouts) would also work.
Your interior as I recall is kinda tan, which may limit wheel options as well.
Here'as a brown wheel from an 88 Cutlass (RWD or possibly a Ciera):

But I bet you'd like a leather wheel? Could be a tough find, but a "sport" wheel as used in an 86-89 Toronado Trofeo, would probably look great in your car. Possibly also a leather wheel from any similar era FE3 equipped 88 or 98 series car (I assume tan was an available color).
Again, 20+ years on, could be hard to finda wheel that matches your interior color AND is in nice shape; perhaps you can have the leather on yours restored, as previously discussed in another thread.

Hey Aliens...that is the wheel I was looking at...appears to be the same layout and size as mine on the 98...
Olds 64...those are my two cars...I want to put a new wheel in the 98, mine is shot...and was looking at the wheel in the ebay link posted above that is a from a FWD Cutlass ( I believe it is from a FWD)

Oh ok. Good luck finding a steering wheel. Did you consider this company?

I still say that Ebay wheel would be the perfect choice.
