Title: Oil Filters (Not Brands)

For 65, did AC make the blue filters or were they all white?

In 65, AC filters were all white with blue lettering.  AC emblem was red. 
  I had labels made up from an original that I put around a white filter to make them look original.   The WIX filter is the perfect size and used to be white, but now they have changed them to black.  I got on Ebay and bought a couple white ones to put on the shelf once I realized they had changed to black.  Need to get on there and get some more.  The wix writing on the filters will come off quickly with a rag and a little brake cleaner and you are left with a plain white filter.

Brian,

I bought a handful of the white filters with the AC markings from a guy selling them on V8Buick.
Good to go - thanks!
