Title: 1953 Willys Aero 4 door for Sale - Washington DC area
Post by: jbailey on December 29, 2017, 01:03:59 AM

All:

I came across this Craigslist ad for a 1953 4 door Willys Aero.  The ad mentions that the car has a "flathead 161" engine.  The pictures show a lot of missing trim, but the car appears to be a Falcon or a Lark as it has the smaller rear window and the spit windshield.  None of the "W" trim is gold colored as one would expect for the '53 model year.  I cannot see enough detail in the pictures to confirm that the engine is the L head 161 ci engine.  The seller is asking $1900 for this car.

I think it's a 52, given the split windshield.

The car is a 1953 Aero Falcon.   There were no 4 door 52's.   The 53 Lark and Falcon models had two piece windshields.
