Hope the knob will too ..
Does look like the chrome will match the wheel, not so sure about the color of the wood ?

The dash, steering wheel and the knob suppose to be dark walnut ...

Good Golly Miss Molly !!

What you're eyeballing here is a adapter for installing the trick wood steering wheel to the Caddy's tilt & telescopic column ...

Costs about the same amount of green as the wheel does !!

And there will be a bit of machine work on my end to get it to work on the early column ...
It was designed to work on later models ..

Pulled the trigger .. Be here Monday ..
That was a big lick, steering wheel will get on order when I'm fat on the hip again .. Hoping that's not to far into the future ?

I was wondering about finding a adapter that will work with my column and the 5 bolt aftermarket steering wheel ...

Found two more companies that makes adapters for telescopic columns ..

These adapters are of a two piece design and would require another adapter to covert their 9 bolt pattern to the Raptor's 5 bolt pattern ..
What I have coming is one solid piece opposed to three bolt together pieces ..
Thinking it would net a more pleasing look to the eye ..

The adapter was made for 84-up 2 inch travel telescopic columns, the 75 Coupe De Ville column that I have chosen to used has 3 inches of travel, meaning there's a one inch gap ...
Got some work to do making a sleeve to fill the gap ..
