Artifact Overview

Willys-Overland introduced its Willys Aero line of cars for 1952. Designed by Phil Wright and engineered by Clyde Paton, the compact Aero featured unibody construction. Over its three-year run, Aero was variously available in Wing, Lark, Ace, Eagle, and Falcon models. Kaiser-Willys dropped Aero from the U.S. market after 1954, though versions were built in Brazil until 1971.
