What is it that the old steering wheels are made out of, the covering of them. I think the last was the HZ that came like that but is the FJ the same stuff as the HZ.

Can't help with the material itself, but the HZ was a soft feel wheel,while the FJ was hard.
Bottom line: different materials. |
Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right. |

Early HJ (1974) was the last of the hard plastic (same as HQ). Changed at the start of (or during) 1975 to the soft wheel. |

Bakelite I thought, but was not sure if FJ type changed somewhat up to the HJ type. I don't remember the std HX-Z wheel I thought it was the same as the old HJ I must be because it look the same type of deal and the VB came out with a different looking wheel. All UC torana's had a nice sports wheel I think. XB falcons had the bakelite then changed to the rubber.

UC wheel you are thinking of was the standard HZ GTS/Sandman/SL/E wheel. |
