NOS Fram PH8 filter from 1962 on Ebay

Here is an interesting item:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-FRAM-OIL-FIL...tr#ht_94wt_1147

It is a FRAM PH8 filter from 1962 (even before they became the PH8A). The base plate looks more like a Wix than the current day PH8A and the gasket looks more like the o-ring style gaskets often seen on current filters for Asian makes. I wonder what the element looks like?

If I picked this up, I'd feel bad about cutting it open because it is so old...

I like how it has the models it fits on the box.

Hey it fits an Edsel! There's one of those parked over @ the local auto college. ( also, the local Ford engine plant, was originally built to make the Edsel's engine. )

I see it's sold. Wow, lots of rust on the base plate and inside the center tube.

Attractive red-orange paint, or funky white balance in camera.
