Looks like a steering wheel cover that sat in the Texas heat too long.  That sun is brutal on vinyl and plastic stuff.

Good question, even though the OP found one. (Lucky?)
For future reference, know any good reproductions, or a place that can restore them?

If you post a WTB ad in Type 3 Parts classifieds for a good used steering wheel you can find/buy/ship an original.
