HI. I'm in the process of finishing up my '58 series 62 convertible. I'm wondering if a two-tone steering wheel was available for my trim combination? The car is black with a white top, black and white leather, upper dash is black, lower is white. My steering wheel was originally solid white but I was thinking about doing the grips in black. If it was optional I plan on doing it. If not I'll just keep it white.

Thanks,

According to the 1958 Cadillac Specifications Manual a Series 62 Convertible with Trim Code 20 your combination of Black and Ivory Leather had Alpine White Lower Instrument Panel, Steering Column, Steering Wheel Rim and Grips with Black Top of Dash and Carpet. All combinations listed for your car list single color steering wheels. Some of the closed cars (Sedan deVille and Fleetwods) list different shades of the same color for rim and grips, but Alpine White is always listed as a single color unit.

I just went out to the garage to doublecheck my 58 yellow convertible, the steering wheel is all white, interior is two tone black and white.

Thanks for the replies. I still don't know what I plan to do. I've seen black and white steering wheels on a '58. Maybe they weren't correct. I would think if they were available Trim #20 would have had them. My wheel was originally all white but I just think the two-tones are cool. I'm not a fan of altering stuff that wasn't available so I may just stick with all white.
