The steering wheel is referred to as a Works one sold by DHMC and was
originally built by Derrington.
In all of my years, I have only seen one on a Sebring replica. I do not
know if they were stock on Sebrings, as the one that I owned did not have
that wheel. It could have been changed by the time I got it, though.
I think there was a company that was making reproductions of this wheel back
in the mid 90's as I had heard or seen listings of them in some of the AH
club magazines.
I hope this helps a bit!
