now that is a neat combination......dont know but probably...
one can usually find away to make a steering wheel fit..

why not replace the steering column with a 59.

It will probably fit. The stock wheel from my 55 fit perfectly on a 1997 Camaro column. I just removed the collar from the back of the wheel and lined the splines up. The center hub of my wheel is even the exact same diameter as the column.

Yes it will fit, but there will be a tiny gap where the hub meets the wheel, as the hub is slightly larger. It will look like this

The 55 wheel had no gap.
