It is also a NAPA 4773 air filter. Made by Wix.
Just bought one the other day, but I had to ask two different guys about it, the
first one had no idea. The bar code number on the box is 6580915520. This is the
same brand filter I've bought at O'Reillys also. $17.95 at NAPA, I bought
one at O'Reilly's for $14.74 but I didn't have a lot of choices at the time.

Air Filter" from Pep Boys today for $12.99 part number is C25082
I have not installed it yet, but trust the fine folks at Pep Boys would not
steer me wrong ;-)

The cabin air filter became a dealer-installed option
in '99. You'll have to open up that filter area to see if your dealer gave you a
filter or not. A lot of dealers left them out and several '99 owners were
surprised when they went to replace their old filter only to find they had no
old filter to replace. If yours didn't come with a filter you can just buy one
and drop it in there. The rest of the system is all there just not the actual
filter. Strange cost cutting by Ford. Go figure.

My '99 did not come with a cabin air filter.
The filter was about $14 I believe....and they were going to charge me like 1/2
labor to install it.
And at $75/hour I was not having it.
The mechanic couldn't believe that I was going to install it myself. I was
pissed that they were charging me for it in the first place.
If you have a '99....you might want to check to see if you have a cabin air
filter.
Just my .02...

You can go to home depot and buy the filter material which is used in your central home heating system. Fold it up, then cut some edges. Please use some caution to make sure that it will stay there and not get sucked in or fall out.
Just another option...use at your own risk =D
