Steering Wheels

The base steering wheel for both the Chevelle and Malibu series. Steering wheels were no longer color coded with the interior but instead only came in black and have a Chevrolet script on the right of the horizontal horn bar just as they did in 1971.

When optioned with RPO Z15, the steering wheel sported an SS emblem in place of the Chevrolet script.

The Monte Carlo got a burlwood strip to match the dash along with Monte Carlo script.

The NK2 Deluxe steering wheel was carried over from 1971 and sold quite a few more in this year; 9,586 were sold in 1972.

The NK4 Sport steering wheel is essentially the same as the 1971 model year and only available in black. Note the bowtie emblem on the Malibu in the top photo and the SS emblem in the SS optioned Malibu in the lower photo. In 1972 20,486 NK4 Sport steering wheels were sold.

As in 1971, the GMC sprint steering wheel was essentially the same its U.S. counterpart with the exception being the GMC script.

Door Panels

The Nomad series door panels were stylish but devoid of any bright trim like the 1971 model year.

The Chevelle Standard series door panel is similar to the 1971 model year. The primary difference is the simulated burl- wood accents.

The Malibu sport coupe and convertible door panels continued in the theme of the 1970 and 1971 model years and carried a MALIBU emblem.

When equipped with RPO Z15 SS Equipment option, the MALIBU emblem gave way to the SS emblem as it did in 1971 but only on the sport coupe and convertible.

Since the Malibu sedan and the pickup still used the vent window, no emblems appeared on the door panel as they would interfere with the vent window regulator.
