A significant step that occurred around 1904 was the change to wheel steering. Possibly one of the last cars to have tiller steering was the Oldsmobile, which was redesigned in 1905 with a steering wheel. Jenatzy's La Jamais Contente, with which he achieved a record speed of over 65 mph in 1899, had tiller steering. It is difficult to imagine steering such a car at this speed. |
