1970 Steering Wheel

What would be the 'standard' wheel on a Cutlass S if the Sport Wheel wasn't ordered?

The top one is what my stock 1970 "S" came with. I can post a picture of it if that helps.

This is a picture of when I found my Cutlass S in a shed. Bone stock from the original owner. Hope this helps.

Here is another on a F-85 sedan 1972, also no vents on the dash? I understand the non/ac part with no lower ac outlets and the center upper should be a faux or blocked diffuser. But no side diffusers.

The standard wheel is usually(only)? found on F85 cars? The no vent dash only came on post cars without AC I believe. Those cars had the kick panels with one pull **** & they had the wing(vent,fart) window in the door, that's why no side vents in dash.

I found one per your specs. You are correct post cars with no AC.

1970 steering wheel

The rim blow wheel was another steering wheel available for the 1970 Cutlass 442 cars. It was option N42, Deluxe steering wheel with instant-horn. Cost was $15.80. At first glance it looks like the Deluxe wheel.
