Jerry,
I have no experience with them on a car, but they were common place on the large trucks I used to run. They were both a filter and a chemical treatment cake, and on the older trucks they were mounted inline with heater hose size hose. They were about the size of a spin-on oil filter. My old truck is a 1966 and the spin on filters are still available for it.
They were probably more important on a semi to prolong the life of the coolant (since there were 12 gallons involved) and to reduce corrosion on the outside of the wet cylinder liners so that they didn’t rust through before their 3 to 5 hundred thousand mile wear cycle was finished on the piston side of the liner.
