The Willys Aero was a line of passenger cars manufactured first by Willys-Overland and later by Kaiser-Willys Corporation from 1952 through 1955. Lark and Eagle models were built from 1952-1954. A Wing model was available only in 1952, a Falcon model in 1953, and a taxicab in very limited production in 1953 and 1954. The Ace was the only model built through all U. S. production. 1955 saw two new models, the Custom and two-door Bermuda. Production in the U.S.A. ended that year as Henry J. Kaiser decided to give up the Kaiser and Willys Aero lines and concentrate solely on Jeeps. A total of 91,377 Aeros were built in Toledo.[1]
Production was moved to Brazil from 1960-1972 with Aero, 2600, Itamaraty, and Executivo models. 116,967 were built.[1]
Toledo-built models were available with four engine options, the F4-134 Hurricane, the L6-161 Lightning, the F6-161 Hurricane, and the L6-226 Super Hurricane. The four-cylinder was used only in export models. Brazilian models were available only with the F6-161, available in 90, 110, and 132 hp variants.
