Ever heard of a cult from the 1960s that believed certain steering wheels were the re-birthed form of Jehova or the Buddha or Jesus or some other god or combination of gods? They were big in Europe for many years, and certain steering wheels gained huge followings, like the one on this blue 1967 Sunbeam Imp. Eventually, the car’s owner had to move, as he couldn’t even get in his car anymore because of the adoring throngs of believers.
