I'M OPEN TO A REASONABLE OFFER
This auction is for an early vintage 1950s Nardi Steering Wheel with a vintage horn button with the letters AR. 1) From the looks of the hub and construction of the wheel, this is one of Nardi's early 1950s steering wheels. 2) This steering wheel and horn button were mounted on a 1940 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Graber Cabriolet. Of course the Nardi would not have been the original steering wheel for that Alfa. But at some time during the cars life, the Nardi was mounted to that Alfa. Below is a picture the 1940 Alfa with this Nardi wheel and horn button.  3) I realize the horn button does not have the official Alfa Romeo crest. Maybe Nardi didn't have the rights to use the official Nardi logo when they first began making steering wheels. That is just a guess. Whatever the reason, the letters AR are unmistakable and a picture of the steering wheel on the 1940 Alfa clearly confirms this horn button was on the car. Beautiful patina and lots of history with this horn button. 4) The correct Nardi Torino logo is on the rear of the lower spoke of the wheel. There is no date and it is my understanding many Nardi steering wheels made in the 1950s were not dated. 5) The E. Nardi signature is not on the RH spoke of the wheel. It is my understanding that the many of the 1950s Nardi wheels were not signed. 6) The wood on this wheel is cracked and will need restoration. 7) The horn button fits loose in the wheel. I think there was a snap ring to hold the horn button in place. The snap ring is not with the wheel. I looked at another early 1950s Nardi wheel today which had a snap ring to hold the horn button. This wheel has the grove where a snap ring would fit, but no ring. I have described the wheel as best I can. It likely will fit other cars, I just don't know. It is a real neat piece of Nardi history. E-Mail with questions. Shipping extra. Good luck! |
