53 willys aeroace
« on: March 08, 2010, 08:34:16 PM »
I have a 53 aero ace. ;D
It's a 4 door 161cyl"F"head hurrican split window.
I need some pieces to finish it.
I need tail light lenses and one housing.
I have all the emblems/script but they need refinishing (Pitted)(I was quoted $125.00ea to redo them). It seemed a little rich.. As a result of that quote I'm hoping to find reproduction emblems but can't find a sorce. Does anyone know where I can find these items ?(Willys fender script,Aeroace trunk script,Tail light lenses, I also need the W on the trunk lid that covers the keylock.

As far as I know at present, there is no reproduction source for Aero Willys script items...not enough demand.

Keep an eye on ebay. Just last fall there was an auction of an estate that had probably a tractor trailer full of NOS and good used Willys Aero and Jeep parts. Slowly, some of that stuff is making it to the marketplace. As was mentioned in another post, there's not enough of a market yet to support repop stuff but the supply of NOS and good used is good yet.
