Very odd (at least to me) horn pad on a 68

[Charger-Bodie]

This is a pic from an eBay listing that tantop posted about in the eBay ads area. I myself have never seen this style ......Anyone else?? Or is this anothe early car quirk ?

Heres a link to tantops thread. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,75087.msg842645.html#new

Looks a lot like the one I had in my 1968

Nope. That one is different.

Nope. That one is different.

Ahhh - you are right.... The center pad itself

from what i can make out , from looking at a few different cars to the SPD s
the all chrome  centre  half horn ring  , is an early build 68 model year ,  ,  late 67 built     !!   the charger that chrome wheel belongs to prolly would have the rear light panel reinforcements & rear deck lid  ,  skeleton inner frame
 this wheel also  seen on  67 model year B-bodys  , & the black vinyl horn pad is the 68 model

On that wheel in 68 , they usually have the really short chrome one (67 style) onearly cars and the the later cars had the soft pad simlar to the one pictured,but without the fratzog emblem. This one is a new one on me.

Yep, I've not seen that center button before. I've attached a pic of my wood wheel button and the standard wheel button for comparison sakes. Are there photos of '67's using that button?

Are the attaching points the same on those two horn pads?
I would say it's a combination of the two.

yeah just realised what your saying  , sorry about that   ,Do'h my bad !! never even noticed the fratzog  in that picture , thought it was plain , like normal 68 wheels are like   , totally over looked it  . guess i'm ready to catch the bus

My '68 Coronet R/T has the wooden wheel with a horn button like the one in the first picture.

Yes, but that button is different from the one 1hotdaytona posted. Here is the page for the '68 Coronet steering wheels http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1968/68_Coronet0014.jpg. Not a match either.

The normal button for the '68's, and '69's, has the fratzog recessed and simulated stitching on the diameter. The one in question has neither of these features.
