Those aren't oil bath. They use air filters. The last oil bath was used in 1956. Starting in '57, everything used an air filter.

Nathan is correct.

If you need the correct paper element air cleaner for a '58, I have them available in good condition. These would be for the 2-barrel carburetor.

And 57-58 Plymouth's didn't necessarily use the side-saddle air cleaner like the 57 Dodges.

I don't think they ever did, except maybe some Canadian or export Plodge combo.
What did a '57 Plymouth 4bbl air cleaner look like? Does it look the same as the '58 4bbl air cleaner - similar to the 2bbl, but bigger?

The photo above that I posted was of a 57 Plymouth (but I don't know 2 or 4 bbl).

Here is another "opinion":
