My 1929 sedan: I turn left, and as a proceed through the turn, the steering wheel returns to the center again. What makes that happen?

The Caster angle on the front axle causes the self centering of the steering wheel, still applies to modern cars also

Your car is supposed to self center and that is a good thing.
