Moto Lita Identification

Hi there,

I found an old steering wheel at a local autojumble this weekend, but I´m not quite sure about what exactly it is...

It´s 13" in diameter, slightly dished and covered with leather. On it´s middle spoke it says "Moto Lita", but not in the usual engraved manner but rather like stamped-in letters. (Photos attached...) (The letters appear black, this is because somebody removed the black paint on the front of the wheel.)

I´m sure I´ve read something about a similar steering wheel before, but just can´t remember what or where...
Maybe somebody in here knows more about it and knows how old it is? (Maybe 70ies?)

Best regards,
Michael

that's a proper 1970's disco-esque font isn't it!
