In another thread, someone mentioned that VW Beetles were sold into the 1960s with no provision for an oil filter.
Some American light trucks were sold without an oil filter until the late 1950s. If memory serves, the 1955 Chevrolet V-8 did not have one that year, but it was installed for 1956. Dealers could install an oil filter kit as an option for the '55s.
So what was the last year the Beetle did not have an oil filter? And what was the last American car and light truck sold without one? Were there other imports that delayed including one?
Thanks!
