Thank you Kev and Howard. I’ll look tomorrow to see if there is a stamping on the bottom. I did take a side view shot that shows the shape and it does appear to be one of the prewar ones that Howard posted.
Gerry, where I got this, seems to think that I’m a know-it-all anyway when I point out that the part he wants to send is not original to my year and gets upset when I point it out so I tried to gently dissuade him to no avail. I was sure then and I am sure now that it is not stock for 1951!
I have only ever seen the ribbed-top AC as factory equipment in these later postwar cars unless, of course, as Howard pointed out they were added by the dealer using whatever they had handy that fits. I have never seen a stock postwar filter with a drain but I have seen aftermarket units with it. The AC unit also has a hex bolt on top but it is far smaller than the one here.
