Is the three-spoke steering wheel in the picture accurate to the actual production model? If so, mine is wrong. Does anybody with an '87 have the three-spoke?

No, it is not correct, which is the reason a 1987 (R) {Revised} brochure came on the heels of this one. None were made with the SVO-Style 3-Spoke wheel as illustrated herein. The revised 1987 brochure was 100% identical, except the steering wheel pic was removed and the other two pics were moved together to take up the space.

Interesting. Thanks, Sandy. On a different note, I wonder how many got the asc horn pad and how many didn't. I wish mine had one. Perhaps a previous owner put it on eBay, but I doubt it. Everything else is there.

I went ahead and bought the brochure. I'm sure I'll be disappointed by the water damage. It doesn't look bad in the pics but pictures are usually deceiving. For a few bucks it's worth it to me to have one, though.

There were 2 1987 brochures. The Revised version, beside the deleted steering wheel picture listeds on add'l. color on the back cover. It adds Medium Blue along with the dark blue. That color was added in Jan. 1987.
