   Shame they didn't build this design.

   It's right-hand drive. Does this mean it was this aimed at the overseas market?

   I don't know, something about this vehicle seems very strange, a one of a kind that no one has ever seen or heard of, doesn't look like a Willys or Kaiser vehicle,right hand drive yet in America. Is the speedo in kilometers? For such a unique vehicle, you would think the seller would list a detailed description.

   The Willys Aero was a line of passenger cars manufactured first by Willys-Overland and later by Kaiser-Willys Corporation from 1952 through 1955. The father of the Aero was Clyde Paton, former engineer for Packard Motor Car Company. The Eagle and Lark models were built from 1952 to 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 two- and four-door Ace sedans (renamed Custom shortly into the production run) and two-door hardtop 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] The Aero tooling went to Brazil

   The lines look more Kaiser Darrin-ish to me than Aero.

    .......although I see the Aero references too. The side sculpting lines look KD-ish.

    The only things that say willys are the instrument panel, seats, and engine?

    I have 2 aero willys --- I don't see any aero stuff on this wreck ? --- they don't show the f-6 hurricane --- gauges look like my 51 sedan delivery --- in 50 years of willys collecting repairing restoring , never seen or heard of this oddball ..

    Here is a reference for woodie jeeps. Says Brook Stevens was into designing woodies and OTHER companies did build woodies on willys frames. So most likely this was not built by Willys? http://www.oldwoodies.com/gallery-jeep.htm

    I wold think for that kind of money they would have more of a description too.
