70 Yenko Deuce Nova & Buick GSX Fat Grip Steering Wheel in White/Parchment?

[SuperNovaSS]

I recently acquired this interesting steering wheel. It is the 1970 fat grip steering comfort grip steering wheel. This style wheel was an option on Buick GSX models and also used in the Yenko Deuce Novas.

I always thought these were only made in black. This one is white/parchment and has an opalescence to it. It is dirty/discolored on much of the wheel with one portion that is quite clean like it was out of the elements. The wheel has awesome grain and is quite possibly NOS. Has anyone seen another one of these wheels in any color than black? Any ideas what this wheel could be? Prototype? It came out of Ohio. Does anyone know where the factory was that produced these wheels?


Thanks,

Jason
