Not the same as a modern screw in Fram.

Is this the same one, asking $65.000?

Interesting car. Rare and nicely restored. Good write-up too. I suspect it wouldn't bring much in a Barrett-Jackson evironment though. Maybe Caroll Shelby could autograph the hood...hmmmmm.

Looks a lot like a sports car built by Kaiser-Frazier in the (I think) early fifties.

Well, I recall being at a Ferrari Days event at Lime Rock a couple years ago, and was shocked to see what looked pretty much like the modern screw in Fram oil filter in the engine bay of a gorgeous 250 SWB.

Because it says 'Fram' on the can bracket doesn't mean it's a Fram filter. It probably came from the factory w/ fram.

Fram used to be one of the best you could buy, before the company was sold. Now they sell junk, banking on the perceived quality of the name.

Mahle, and others make a filter that fits that can.
