psdenno Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Who is credited with designing the Avanti steering wheel and why was it considered unique at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in both cases, but close on the "horn" reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 How about Milt Autonick?.....And the floating horn bar was somewhat unique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
