Chris, who makes this Firebird? I have one with the same paint and vinyl roof but I am not sure mine has dogleg hood hinges. I need to find it and look at the steering wheel.

I should have checked my inventory first. Mine is an ACME, distributed by Danbury. I need to dig it out, it may have the same hood hinges.

"Chris, who makes this Firebird?"

Mine is an ACME / Danbury Mint; yours should be the same car.  👍

what’s the deal with the steering wheel? You only had really one pic of it and I don’t see anything that great about it other than it looks like it might be the exact scale thickness ? What am I missing here ? 
thnx.

"What am I missing here?" 

The horn works!  😉 😊 

Just kidding....  it's the scale "thickness."   Unlike 95% of ALL models (so it seems ) this Pontiac steering wheel has a proper, life-like, look to it.   As I stated, "One of the best 1/18 steering wheels you'll ever see." 

Look around your collection - try to find another just as "in scale."      Good luck!  😀 😀
