I tend to agree with the statement made by "express".
It is likely just something made up by someone who had the time and capabilities to do it.
My contact at Fram in Canada where all the Chrysler air cleaners where manufactured, and who worked in the hobby shop design area, told me they never had a need to have anything aluminum like that in house.
Everything including prototypes was steel as per design blueprint.
Also I doubt it's a marine air cleaner......here's a real deal metal marine 440-6 air cleaner.
Anyone else one have one of these?

That sounds like a pretty darn good source.
I'd think there's still a slight possibility of something done on the Chrysler side; like styling dept. Pretty slight at this point.
Mccannix, do you think your source seals the deal or would another non-Fram 2nd source make things more concrete.

Does your contact at Fram know anything about the painting of the air cleaners, especially the wrinkle ones? My contact from Chrysler said that Canadian Fram did the whole thing.

I'll try to talk to him this week and get an answer to that question.
I'm quite sure he told me once that they outsourced any specialized paint procedures.
They painted all the black enamel bases and orange lids but had trouble getting the argent paint to lay down on the shaker scoops and after the first 100 or so, sent them elsewhere for painting.
Same may be true for the wrinkle finish air cleaners.
