Which years of imperials had this? I've seen them in the recent Automotive Quarterly and in the George Barris MM book-when did they quit?
Squarish Imperial steering wheel?

The Chrysler nameplate had them too in the 300 and the New Yorker just to name a couple. I think they were used until '63 or '64.

Circa 58/59 thru '63. All the full-size Chryslers could be had with them- in fact I spent a good deal of saturday drooling all over the most beautiful '60 300F Convertible I've ever seen at a car show and it drove there a couple hundred miles under its own (prodigious) power. Hummana hummana hummana!!!! What an INCREDIBLE automobile. Square wheel made of clear plastic, "Astradome" dash with electroluminescent lettering and everything. Woot.
Were they an extra cost option? Are they available as a repro today?

and one of these would be a spiffy addition! Ofcourse it has a Mopar engine-a Slant 6 with Webers. Remember the XNR?
On some models and years, yes. Standard on the Imperials of relevant model year, and possibly some high-end Chryslers as well.
Not to my knowledge, no, but there are steering wheel repair/restoration services.
*nod*Yes.
