Apparently the AC3311 Studebaker oil filters were painted 3 different colors…..

1) Black 

2) Red

3) Red & White

Rumor has it that most Stude Avantis left the factory with the Black version.

Very cool.  Thanks for the info!

I use the WIX white filter, and wipe off the printing with lacquer thinner, Paint the bottom portion with 'wrinkle texture' red paint, and use the repop Studebaker decals to make them look like a factory filter. But it's modern production and the filter medium isn't rotten and dried out, and there are no hidden insects in them. 

Never use a 60 year old consumable part when new is available.  This goes for rubber parts too.
