That looks like the one I pulled off my truck. While my uncle still owned the truck he tapped it with a McDonalds straw and this happened...

What you are seeing is a steering wheel where all the plastic has fallen off. I had a 72 where the plastic had cracked on the rim. I was making a turn and let the wheel slide thru my hand as I came back straight and a sharp edge on the plastic sliced my finger. It was deep but not deep enough for stitches.
