Early '56 large spline Semi batwing steering wheel

[56velox]

Hi

I'm hoping someone can help my English mind put something to bed.
I have a large spline Semi batwing steering wheel and on the back seems to be a cancel tab for indicators. Is that something you had on USA spec cars ?

Many thanks

Jon

Yes, that "self-cancelling ring" was used on N. America bound cars (maybe others too?) to automatically cancel the turn signal switch to "off" position once the turn was completed. Usually held on by two small screws. I think that Euro spec cars had the same steering wheel but no self-cancelling ring??? I might be wrong about that though?

Hi Bill

Your correct about Euro cars as I have a late 56 wheel with the smaller spline and that doesn't have the cancel ring. I guess due to us still using semaphores.

I had an idea it was a USA market addition but wanted to be sure.

Many thanks
