3-spoke Camaro Steering Wheels

As I recall, the early 3-spoke wheels had a line on each spoke and later ones only a line on the horizontal spokes. Can you tell me when that changed?

I bought an '83 in 1983, but didn't pay attention. The '85 I bought in 1999 came with just the horizontal lines. Searching images on line for '84 I've seen both, but who knows what's original.

Re: 3-spoke Camaro Steering Wheels

I’ve seen enough ‘84s to note that remaining stock of early wheels spilled into the ‘84 model year. But the significant majority of ‘84 are the two line wheels.

Thanks. That's exactly the information I was looking for.
