Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS

Made me laugh

Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before

before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally

great collection!

The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too

Flip up steering wheel on a model T... I finally found another!

great to come across such a rare old aftermarket gizmo.. I'm amazed that I've seen one before

Innovation in steering wheel design, that never went into production... the "Wrist Twist" from Mercury

At Mercury, engineer Bob Rumm produced this one-off 1965 Mercury Park Lane convertible with so-called "wrist-twist" steering controls. The standard steering wheel has been replaced by two 5-inch, wrist-operated dials, that the promo claims frees up knee room, improves visibility and makes parking easier.

Skip the first 45 seconds and the male chauvenist attitude, they are both useless
