psdenno Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 Who is credited with designing the Avanti steering wheel and why was it considered unique at the time?
mfg Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 Bob Doehler perhaps?...And the one unique feature I can think of is a 'horn button' that isn't a horn button!
psdenno Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Posted February 20, 2015 Bob Doehler perhaps?...And the one unique feature I can think of is a 'horn button' that isn't a horn button! No, in both cases, but close on the "horn" reference.
mfg Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 How about Milt Autonick?.....And the floating horn bar was somewhat unique?
psdenno Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Posted February 20, 2015 How about Milt Autonick?.....And the floating horn bar was somewhat unique? Except for misspelling the designers name, (Milt Antonick), perfect answer. Most cars of the era had either a center horn pad or a horn ring on the steering wheel. Mr. Antonick incorporated the horn bars into the steering wheel spokes. Anyone know what other classic car designs Milt Antonick did?
mfg Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Not bad for 'Off The Top of My Head'!!....I new it had to be Doehler or 'Antonick'!
