This 15-inch American-Retro steering wheel replaces the original 1956-57 18" stock Thunderbird wheel from vehicles of that vintage. This sporty replacement gives your car an original look, yet provides drivers the comfort and handling of a 3-inch smaller diameter modern size wheel, a benefit especially for cars converted to modern power steering. Don't wrestle with that "bus-size" steering wheel any longer! American-Retro's new smaller steering wheel is the answer!
Made to fit to the original steering column using all the original horn, nuts, and turn signal switch parts. The American-Retro wheel comes complete with a chrome horn ring and a center cap. Installation is easy - just bolt it on! Finished in black. For other colors, simply paint to match your vehicle.
- 15" diameter (compared to 18" originals)
- Original look and feel without the Original size
- Fits original steering columns
- Uses original horn, hardware, and turn signal switch parts
- Sporty and comfortable
- Includes chrome horn ring and emblem

Summary: This steering WILL fit a 1956 Ford Fairlane. Perfect size when doing power steering upgrade, however, the center cap is odd. At first we all thought it said Chevrolet. It say Classic in similar Chevy script with a large V behind it.
I feel it should say Ford but, whatever. It works its nice and I can replace the center.
Yes, I recommend this product.
