I remember them... Ames bought them back in the late 80's I'd say. I used to buy the clearanced out Atari 2600 games there. I miss Ames too... their furniture was waaaaay better than Wal-mart's stuff.quote:

PS, Zayre, remember them? They turned into Ames which of course recently went bankrupt. And $3.49 for a filter in 1988-- what was minimum wage then, $3.20? This thing'd be a six dollar filter today. And I paid six cents.
Looks like a good reading. Wierd scale though.quote:

And I was also one of the nuts who used to buy these filters back then! In 1988 I bought a brand new Dodge Shadow ES Turbo, and the only filters I ran on it were the Fram PH3614s! I changed my oil every 3000 km too (1800 miles!) with Castrol XLR 10w30. (anyone else remember XLR?)quote:

Just think one of the orginal first oil nuts like us stocked up on those things in 1988.
Sorry, Pat, I was only two years old then...quote:
