The little chrome chain steering wheels usually went to the Custom
built hot rod "T-bucket" crowd, or the jumpin bean mobiles.

Oh yeah, another performance tip ! another thing to go was you had to
take off your power steering built.

a) it reduced unecessary drag on the engine, helping to release that
extra opressed horsepower.

b) it also improved your driving experience, because "you can feel the
road better"

gimme a break!
