The Idaho Special was a Glasspar/Woodill Wildfire. The Willys Aeros were 1953's and received an eggcrate grille, chrome strip on the hood replacing the Aero hood ornament, a triangular plate with the Fielding crest in place of the "W" on the trunk, the word "Fielding" in place of the script on the trunk and extensions on the rear fenders making the fin originate at the base of the rear window.
