Notice the stuff that oozed out from between the trunk and hinge.

very brittle stuff after 39 years. This broke off the other side as I was wiping it off...arrgh.

Just as I suspected. Nothing but Black Print!

I'll speculate this is the same as the other OE filter since I see no indication of stripes, and definitely no print on what could be the back.
Thanks Charley.

Unbelievable car. Thanks for the trip back in time. Also, thanks for posting the details.

Trying to get to the bottom of this oil filter question, I'm trying to compare a Repop filter on Right, and what I hope is a NOS filter on left.
Hate to admit what I paid for the NOS one.. Let me know what you think.

I thought the white,bottom embossed & sometimes found with or w/o w/black script filter was commonly installed during engine (break in) assembly at both Flint & Tonawanda,while the nearly same filter,but now w/blue script like yours on the left above,was available OTC and retail back then.And possibly quickly replaced the break in filter during dealer prep before the new owner picked it up too.
Charley's car may be the only one left that can answer this question..

I might as well remove this one and clean the undercoating off it so we can see what it actually is. I also think I will cut it open and see what the paper looks like after being in oil for 39 years.
