Hello:

My name is John, and I have a 1932 Model 54. My car has an oil filter. I have been told that my car did not have an oil filter originally. Is this true? The cars that I have seen on the internet seem to have a round canister type filter mounted horizontally. My existing filter is steel, round, and totally sealed. It about as big as a grapefruit. I think it may have come off a packard??? Does anyone have an original replacement filter, or know why to get them? Does anyone even have the new style filter that someone has placed on the car in the past (packard type)? The filter is mounted on the driver side of the engine, just above the generator.
Thanks for the help
John
