Mike Wright wrote:OK Folks,
There has been a little discussion as to the color of the Sheller steering wheels on VEP GPW's. GPW2636 has a green Shiller on it. It looks like it's been there a long time. Since 28 FEB 42, I don't know. But if we can get a good rundown from here we may be able to find out when the change from black to green took place. Jim Gilmore in his research says (if I remember correctly late March) Please correct me if I am incorrect
So, if you would post what color you have so long as it is a Sheller early style, not the metal spoke type.

Re: What color is your steering wheel
Hi,
Will someone be able to assemble a chart with all the GPW's and their serial numbers, assembly plants and the colors of steering wheels? It would be very interesting to see.
