Image for article titled Blip: Xhibit A: Steering Wheels On Wheels

Illustration: Packard/Autominded

Packard in 1954 had a weird fixation on tall sailing ships, which is what led them to produce what I believe to be the only steering wheel ever made with an emblem of another steering wheel on it. Sure, the emblem wheel is the ship’s wheel of a boat, maybe more commonly called a helm now, but it’s still a steering wheel.
