Re: oil bath air cleaner

Gents, I have a 1949 Chevrolet that my uncle bought new. I have had it since 1965, (since I was 14). The air cleaner/silencer is different from any I have seen on Chevys. After an exhaustive search, it seems that I have a Packard air cleaner/silencer. I saw a post of photos of 1951 and 48-50 units and mine is a dead ringer for the 48-50? As far as I know, this unit has been on my car since my uncle took it off the lot? Mine is a cross the engine style, with a bracket, which holds up the oil bath side. I am now in the process of bringing it back to life. Has anyone else seen such a unit on anything but a Packard?
