It's the only one like it that I've ever seen. The banjo bars going to the center are slightly arched at each end of the top, and the lower is straight. The wheel it's self is a milky slightly transparent wheel.

He has the fancier ivory and red horn button with the Plymouth script and red sunburst detail. A friend of mine in town has a '41 Plymouth convertible. They're so neat! :-) If I had to choose between the two wheels, go with the Banjo, they're rarer and very appealing.Īlso wanted to mention that in 1941 Plymouth did briefly offer a banjo wheel. That's really neat! My '40 Dodge Luxury Liner Deluxe wheel is pictured in the ad on the left! Information from 1940 Dealer Accessories Catalog and Price lists.ĭeluxe Steering Wheel part #830640 1940 Plymouth P9* & P10 What I find interesting is that the Plymouth's had Banjo Steering wheels made up of three sets of spokes consisting of three bars (one flat bar with two round spokes) on the Chrysler Banjo Steering wheels they are larger wheels and have three sets of spokes consisting of 5(?) round spokes each. In the Center cap there would heve been a vertical 'ribbed' metal molding that was specific to 1940 ONLY with the Plymouth 'crest' embossed in the middle.ġ939 Plymouth also had an optional 'Banjo' steering wheel but the center cap and horn ring are different. If the Steering wheel was complete the wheel would be equiped with a horn ring.

I never had really realized any kind of difference until I was looking for the one out of my 40 to get the pitman arm off of it. The 'plain jane' one came out of my 40 coupe, and the other 'fancier' one came out of the parts car I bought for my 40. Can anyone tell me other than the obvious, what is the difference on these 2 wheels? They both came out of p10 Plymouth coupes.
