One more part located for a long delayed restoration of my 1960 Speed Queen Cruisette. I found this on eBay, complete with cable steering drum, chrome mount, and center cap. Saved searches really help in long-term searches like this. I am not sure of manufacturer of the steering wheel, I would guess Perko or Wilcox-Crittenden but can't really match it up from the available vintage ads.

If you look close somewhere on the back side, you should see their "WC" Logo embossed in the wheel. If you find that, you will then know for sure. They also made many center caps with different boat manufacturer's or boat model's names. Regards, StevieB Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
