Wow, I removed an air cleaner from a 56 Desoto, Fallon Nevada in1983, everyone tells me it’s a Cadillac? It’s beautiful why would it get on the wrong vehicle?
Model year consultant John Lazenby is the guy for this question. He did a detailed article for the Club News on this topic years ago. With photos. It should be in the website tech pages
I'm looking to find out the differences between the '55 and '56 Batwing air cleaners. I picked one up (supposedly from a '56) recently and there's some differences between it and the one that
came on my '55. Specifically, differences in the filter canister and oil tank.
A person that's had a bunch of these air cleaners thought that reproductions may have been made at one time.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of information online about them. I wouldn't mind documenting the differences for the Club if I can get good information.
