Dana,
I believe Vette Products of Michigan makes the 1 X 4 57 air cleaner.
Keen Parts probably sells them also.

Dana,
There is a advertisement in the Fall 2013 SACC magazine for 56-57 air cleaners.
The seller is Steve Newsom 281 413-0028, sort of pricey $$$$, $2200.00.

Also check Dr Rebuild and Paragon I think both carry that assembly. Also Paragon gives a 10% NCRS discount if they have what you want myself and many other Queen City members are going to Carlisle next week and could save you shipping also. Paragon is normally there.

Re: Air Cleaner

Thanks Bruce and Paul for the reply.
I had heard some one was again reproducing them.
$2200 is pricey , maybe a better price at Carlsile ?
Paul , if you see one at Carlisle please give me a call.

crane corvette has the air cleaner on ebay for $1399. i have seen them going for $1280 recently on ebay. i also recently seen a original air cleaner in excellent shape on ebay go for $650. at this time on ebay an original air cleaner that needs to be rechromed is going for $499. the flame arrestor on it appears to be in nice shape. the flame arrestor material on the reproductions is easy to tell from the originals. if i was spending the large amount of money that some people want for the reproduction, i would locate a good flame arrestor from a old air cleaner and have it installed on the new air cleaner. the opposite side of the flame arrestor usually looks as it would of when the material was new. i would think that if someone was trying to get the best price on the reproduction air cleaner that they would go to the source of the new air cleaners which is rodger roberts.
