1937hd45 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Does anyone have an idea what the market value is on a NEW in the Box Fram P-2 oil filter? Paper work states it fits Cord, Chrysler, Lincoln, Auburn, many Packard models, Peerless, Stutz, and Pierce-Arrow along with some common cars and trucks. Thank you!<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's best value may well be for a static display engine. There are some horror stories of folks using very old NOS filters only to find the paper element had deteriorated or weakened over time and the first surge of oil turned it into mush that filled and plugged some of the oil galleries, with the expected result.

Jolly_John Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 In addition to the paper filtering substance mentioned above, some filter designs from the 1930's use a cotten thread material as the filtering media. You can imagine the natural breakdown that would occur with that substance over the years, and the bad outcome that could result if the filter was eventually put into service (as noted by Owen_Dyneto above).

1937hd45 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Maybe there is a bigger market for the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
