... there is an ad on this samba for a semi-batwing steering wheel with coarse teeth... is there such a thing...? thought they were all fine teeth, like a 56 to 59.

Very early 1956 Beetles would only have 24 teeth (coarse). 48 tooth splined (fine) steering wheels came out a few months later. Not sure of exact date or chassis number change, but someone with access to Progressive Refinements and nothing better to do can look it up.

Would have began the fine tooth columns in October of 56 for deluxe or June of 57 for the standard models.
