Not Ranked
Tom,
As I remember, it was 15" in diameter, its thickness makes it look smaller. The 4+inch dish gave more legroom as you can see in the Gurney picture. One of the problems was your upper leg hitting the wheel and the deep dish relieved a lot of this problem by bring it back from the knee. Also, if you look at the 2003 picture and see the two small yellow lights on the dash to the right of the wheel, they are not original. I put those in for the directional switch directly to there right next to the speedometer, so on the street I would know, if they were still on as there was no automatic return on the switch. Also, another interesting feature of the car was the day-night rear view mirror, this was a big deal as an upscale option in mid-60"s cars. It was not really needed with the tinted rear window but I remember, I was surprised to see it, as this was high-tech in the 60's.
