We don't have one, but if you go to the "Everything Chris Craft" book and look at the photos there, it might help. Sorry I'm not more help. Do you have any printed material or advertising for your boat? One thing to remember is that if Chris Craft ran out of one thing they would grab something else that was handy to get that production boat out on time. Makes a good excuse (just teasing of course). Good luck

Don's '61 looks just like my '57 and '58 with the exception of the throttle lever.

You are in luck because those wheels are everywhere. All the usual suspects have them.

Jim Staib would be a top choice.
