I've come across two steering wheels. One is a classic Impala. Can you help nail down the year and model? For the other wheel, I know nothing about. Can you help identify this one?
Thanks a lot!

Below are images of a vintage Chevy steering wheel. Can you help narrow this down to year and model? My guess is Chevy Corvair, but unsure of year. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Plews & Edelmann has expanded to 53 exclusive, new power-steering hard-parts SKUs within its fast-growing Edelmann Elite line.
These parts, which include 41 rack and pinions, 10 power-steering pumps and two power-steering gearboxes, are only available as new parts from Plews & Edelmann and provide added coverage for more than 27 million VIO.
“Even before the addition of these exclusive part numbers, the Edelmann Elite hard-parts line exceeded competitors’ coverage from each competitor supplying new steering parts,” said Evan Bauer, Plews & Edelmann director of business development. “However, we recognized that coverage gaps still existed and set out to fill those gaps with parts only available from Plews & Edelmann regardless of competitor. The SKUs that were identified include remanufactured units that have notoriously high warranty rates across all three categories (pumps, racks and gears). A rack for a 2017 Chevy Traverse is a perfect example with the reman equivalent running an alleged warranty rate around 15%. Our alleged warranty rate of 2.8% is evidence of the need for different thinking in this category. These new parts have truly put more distance between Plews & Edelmann and our competitors in terms of power-steering hard-parts coverage.”
The Edelmann Elite line has grown to 298 SKUs that meet over 80% of customer demand and deliver application coverage for more than 260 million VIO. Every new rack and pinion, power-steering pump and power-steering gearbox is designed, developed and built as a brand-new part by Plews & Edelmann, utilizing key reverse-engineering competencies to overcome design flaws. No used or remanufactured components are employed. All of the parts are 100% tested and backed by a 100-year/1 million-mile warranty.

Rislone has introduced new High Mileage Power Steering Stop Whine with Leak Repair (P/N 4604), describing it as “a quick and dependable solution for customers suffering steering ‘whine,’ sluggish steering or a power-steering system leak in their high-mileage cars, SUVs and light trucks.”
Power-steering problems are common in older vehicles, especially those clocking 75,000 miles or more. Noise and whining, minor leaks and hard-steering complaints can dull your customers’ driving enjoyment and, if ignored, only get worse over time.
“High Mileage Power Steering Stop Whine with Leak Repair can cost-effectively and quickly solve a range of power-steering issues,” said Clay Parks, Rislone vice president of strategic development. “It’s an affordable solution to noisy power-steering systems that generally occur when the system is low on fluid, there is air trapped in the fluid or the vehicle has some mechanical issues.”
The all-new product contains a special blend of viscosity improvers, anti-wear friction modifiers and extreme-pressure performance additives, according to the company. It’s formulated to stop bearing, piston and valve noises inside the power-steering pump. Special lubricity additives smooth out rough, hard and tight steering and reduce friction. Stop-leak additives repair minor leaks and help prevent new ones.
Customers can use the product to top off existing fluid when low or add a bottle as a preventive-maintenance measure whenever power steering fluid is changed. It’s compatible with all types of domestic and imported power-steering fluids, including petroleum and synthetic formulas, and works with systems that use ATF automatic-transmission fluid.
Most passenger cars and light trucks require one 11.8-ounce (350-millileter) bottle for every 1 to 3 quarts of power-steering fluid. In smaller systems (those under a quart of capacity), use half a bottle. Depending on the power-steering problem, results will either be immediate or noticeable within a few days of driving, according to the company. A second application may be needed for hard-to-stop leaks or to solve other system issues.
Rislone High Mileage Power Steering Stop Whine with Leak Repair is a sister product to Rislone High Mileage Transmission Stop Slip with Leak Repair (P/N 4502) for automatic and manual transmissions.
