What steering wheel is this

[Falcon Ranchero]

Probably not usable for anything as it has been sitting in a gully for some 50 odd years but I'm not sure what it's from at all.

FOUND OUT IT'S FROM AN EDSEL

Image search came up 56 mercury. I snooped a little farther, it definitely looks more "ford' late fifties into sixties. Cool wall art.

Thanks for the lead on late 50's Fords. I just found out what it's from it's pretty cool. I started thinking about certain cars the family owned or parts of other cars I also found in that gully, and the only late 50s Ford part I found was the red headlight surround from a '58 Edsel. That's what this steering wheel is from; exact match withouth the trim. Nobody in the family had an Edsel so not too sure why there are Edsel parts in the gully, maybe the original owners of the property had one.

I've seen the same here in upstate ny. Old farms and properties usually have a dump spot somewhere, if it couldn't be repaired or used somewhere  else, off to the pile. I've found the remains of old stained windows and door hardware on my property, along with old bottles and what not. It's almost amateur archeology.

Yeah the gully on my grandmas place is in more of a forest setting; mind you it was more open back when they started throwing stuff down there. There is lots of crazy cool stuff down there, found an old 60s lawn mower that I kinda restored but finding a new motor for it is basically impossible since it’s such a small machine. There’s also a couple cars down there; the flipped over remains of my grandma’s father’s 1953 Chevy 210 four door and a ‘63 Ford 300 sedan, black with red interior, sitting since 1970. Using the trunk of that thing to store all the cool stuff I’ve been finding in the gully.

It actually might have been somewhat fixable, had a bunch of things not happened to it. After the 6 gave out, they took the rear diff of to use in some homemade 6-wheeled bush whacker project that didn't work, so they left the car in the gully, and then apparently it was mint, body-wise. But then the neighbors kids trespassed on the property sometime in the late '70s and totalled it.

It was apparently my grandma's brother's friend's car so there are no photos of it new that I know of since it wasn't even a family car, BUT there is a pristine example of this exact same car; black four-door, red interior, 6-cylinder auto, somewhere here in Ontario. It gives a pretty good look at what this car looked like brand new.
