Welcome back Dale! At least we know you're still kicking! As for the wheel... can't say I've ever seen a production car with that particular style. Might be an aftermarket unit to fit a GM column.

Im thinking of redoing the embroidery. With out the bars

 

[delbertinie]

Does anybody have a good picture of the amore ltd logo. I plan to add it the interior. Somewhere as well,
It has to be digitized to be fed into the embroider machine. It's. Great to have that machine at my disposal

has anybody else modified a steering wheel besides me and if so could you post pictures
thanks dale

 

[letterman7]

The only way I modify a steering wheel is to weld the correct splines into the middle (or make an adapter). A wheel isn't something I'm willing to modify (like bending the rim) since it might affect the integrity of the steel. But that's just me. Usually I can find one that I like and use it

As for the Amore logo.. I can't recall what they used, if they even had one. I'll dig through my stuff to see if they had a consistent logo and scan that in for you.

 

[delbertinie]

The logo is
a circle with a tail. I have found it on a brochure i found on the web but its not clear enough. As for my
Welding Im Certified. Tig welded it.

Good work! I love seeing old parts modified and made new again.

 

[letterman7]

That one, Dale? Honestly, that's the first time I've seen that. I can, however, digitize that and send it to you as a file, if you tell me what the embroidery machine needs. I don't have embroidery software, but should be able to supply a file that you can use.

thanks i copied the image to my computer.
this is the brochure i tried to get from google.
This should work I have access to the digitizing software for the embroidery machine at work tjanks again.

Do you know when this advert was published
My car is from this time period I think.

Look closely at the door hinges my car came with this style of door hinges.
The latter adds that I see do not have the same hinges.

No clue. Probably around the late '70's, just based on the typestyles used.
