Anyone interested in a 1953 Willy Aero-Lark?

[KS Toronado]

Unique looking little car, been many many years since I've seen one of these anywhere. Coming up for
sale at an auction Monday, November 27, 2023. Been to quite a few of their auctions, they usually
take over the phone bids. I'm not associated with this auction house in any way nor am I receiving
any benefits for informing others of this very rare car. More pictures on the website.

1. Reminds me of a Nash Rambler

Compact cars ahead of their time.

2. Just read an article about these cars

It stated they were comparable to a '60 Ford Falcon for wheelbase and weight, so yes
"Compact cars ahead of their time" ...

8. I once had a '62 Mercury Comet

which was essentially a Falcon with cosmetic differences. It held up OK.

10. A 62 Falcon was the first car I drove on a date.

3. Love the hood ornament!

4. Make a cool gasser!

5. Many were made into gassers because of their light weight.

7. My car club had a Henry J gasser.

Gassers were so entertaining. Wheel stands galore

13. The Willys gasser was common too.

6. Not overly expensive

Some go for well under $10,000 running in good condition.
One previous owner said becarefull with checking out the suspension mounting points. If rusting it gets pricey to fix.

Nice little car.

9. I read they were a uni-body

So their suspension mounting points would be critical. Also read they got 28 mpg, that was
really ahead of their time.

11. That is what i read also

Rusting in unibody was a problem until the late 70s I believe.
Something you would want to inspect and not buy sight unseen.
