Note auxillary oil filter. It seems that the powers that be at GM forgot to put any oil filters on the new 265 ci engine which is why they are added on top of the block.

WOW, what a beauty, where is this car now? at a museum? checker floor and all, very nice pic.

No it's not in a museum.....
I found this on the web somewhere. I lost the link to it but its a classic car type used car showroom and I think the price is around $35,000.00.

I don't know where you got the ridiculous idea....
that GM forgot to provide an oil filter for the new small block Chevy engine.
Fact is, oil filters were optional on those '55 V8s.

James is correct, there was no oil filter on the early 1955 265 c.i. small block Chevy.
