Crestliner Horn button

[jerry grayson]

I was given a source for a reproduction horn button by a fellow Fordbarner and I would like to ask if anyone has seen one or has purchased one of the Crestliner buttons. Koch's steering wheel restorations is the source.

ive seen them at the swap meets. they are very nice! they look just like the originals. i think they are getting $125.00 for them. they also did my buddys wheel and it turned out great.

I have a Crestliner (51). What part are you calling the "button?" The info may come in handy.

51 Crestliner and 50 Crestliner have completely different steering wheel and horn rings. The 50 has a horn ring with a horn button in the center, the 51 does not.

the crestliner wheel, a.k.a. wheel of fortune. cresliner horn buttons are the same besides the colors. only two colors were made. white and gold, red and gold.

Which color is correct for a car that is Sportsman Green and Black?

Here is the straight scoop on crestliner steering wheels & horn rings, from the 1949-50-51 Ford book by the Early Ford V/8 Club.. note the steering wheel color is black or brown for the 50 crestliner
