WTB antique air cleaner

Post by LittleTimmy52 » Sun Oct 12, 2025 7:00 am

I have a foam filter, aside from not looking right, most of the antique air cleaners ive seen go up and towards the exhaust. If anyone is selling one per chance I'd love to buy it.

I got scammed cause I am an idiot, once I get my money back I am going to be back on the hunt, I will also be reaching out back to those who contacted me but I am doing my homework on those who contacted me this time. I am still interested in getting one but later on, so if anyone has one sitting on a shelf somewhere Ill be open for an offer just after I get my money back cause I cant afford it otherwise. Thank you.

I have one of these spare but it is the fancy kind from a model L lincoln that has the nickel plated trim strip around the base. That makes them more spendy than the one you have in your photos. I would be happy to sell it to you as my car has the trim piece and I dont need the spare, but they are generally worth about 250 dollars.

Let me know if you want me to send a photo.

Here is a pic of one on a car from the internet, you can see the basic similarity and the ring I was talking about. These have a cas aluminum base that originally threads onto the air intake elbow. The threads are male.

A Dodge Brothers filter from the 1920's (not sure of year) looks similar to the one in the picture that you posted, however, it doesn't have a curved elbow, so it would fit horizontally; not vertically, and wouldn't fit. It fits the intake of a Stromberg OE-1 carburetor, perfectly. I had one but sold it when I sold my Model B intake and exhaust and my OE-1 to a speedster builder.
