    I got this air cleaner from an old body shop-I have never seen one before and couldn't find anything by Google. Any help would be appreciated

    It's a '67 Buick GS air cleaner, also known as a "Star Wars" air cleaner! Great find!

    The Star Wars air cleaner came out in 1967.

    Ten years later they named the movie after the air cleaner

    1 year only - '67 Buick GS, or '67 Riviera GS. A complete unit, with base and original knob, in good condition will fetch good coin.
    Most of the SW units are missing the base which is unique to this air cleaner, without a proper base the air cleaner is just a wall hanger !!
    Do a search here on v8buick for additional info on this rare air cleaner. :TU:

    You can cut the bottom out of a '67 big car HD aircleaner (Electra and Wildcat 430) and modify it for use on a Star Wars missing the original. It appears to be the same exact stamping.

    You found our long lost 67 Air cleaner. Did you see him on the milk carton? I always told Ma, the milk carton thing was a long shot. But she was insistent. Ma always gets her way. Anyway, we are both happy he has gone to a good home.
