1950s Air filter for 1959/60

[MY 59]

Hi all,
Just looking to replace my '59 deville's air filter and am finding it a bit difficult to get on online.
Wix 42092 or equivalent however everywhere seems to be out of stock/on back order
What is everyone using these days?
I found one made by Cadillac Parts LTD exclusive to them so guess that may be the only option?

Thanks in advance
Dave

Caddy Daddy has one for $45.00 plus shipping. They can be ordered from a number of places here in USA. Shipping is probably prohibitive. Have you considered a lifetime cleanable element seeing your location makes it hard to find these?

Hey Michael, thanks for the response mate
Caddy daddy only comes up with an oil filter for 59, and air filter for tri power?
If K&N made one to suit I would buy one for sure, I am running one of theirs in my Fairlane 👍
At this stage I am after minimum 3 filters as have 2 friends wanting them for theirs
Will keep looking and see what pops up
Cheers
Dave

My Amazon search got hits with the WIX number.

Hi David,
None on Amazon au, and none on normal Amazon that ship to Australia
Btw eBay has some that state fit 59 Cadillac but the sizes given are all incorrect by quite a lot , in height, and both inner and outer width
All good will keep looking
Cheers

That filter looks nothing like the filter that was on my '60 CDV.

Mine was really large in diameter, with a wide rubber sealing flange around the top, that sealed against the body, and the lit kept it tight.

Hey Bruce, good to hear from you !
Yep that is the one I am after, with the extended flange around the top 👍
Just seems to be out of stock or not ship to Aus
