Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1953 Jeep
Willys.
HISTORY
In 1952, Willys re-entered the car market with a new compact car,
the Willys Aero. At first available only as a two-door sedan, it
was available with either anL-Head or F-Head six-cylinder engine.
Export markets could get the Aero with a four-cylinder engine. A
four-door sedan and a two-door hardtop were added for 1953 along
with taxi models. The Aero cars were called Lark, Wing, Falcon,
Ace, or Eagle depending on year, engine, and trim level, except for
a small production run in its final year (1955) with models called
Custom and Bermuda. The bodies for the Willys Aero were supplied by
the Murray Body company, which also made the bodies for the
short-lived Hudson Jet. Also in 1952, CJ3B Jeeps went into
production. By 1968, over 155,000 were sold.
In 1953, Kaiser Motors purchased Willys-Overland and changed the
company's name to Willys Motor Company. The same year, production
of the Kaiser car was moved from Willow Run, Michigan, to the
Willys plant at Toledo, Ohio. Although Jeep production was steady,
sales of the Willys and Kaiser cars continued to fall. Willys
established an assembly plant in Brazil in 1953, after the
government prohibited the import of assembled vehicles as part of
an import substitution program.
