1953 Willys 2 Door Sedan

This is a 1953 Willys Aero Falcon, a one-year-only model. I believe you will not find an unrestored Willys Aero in better condition. It has the 161 cu. in. six cylinder engine with overdrive. It runs and drives nice. There are no missing parts. The original factory air cleaner is included. The body is very solid with no apparent rust. Floor pans are solid (see photos). The overdrive works. Tires look almost new. Car was repainted by a previous owner the authentic Mediterranean Blue with white top. In '53 Willys Motors celebrated their 50th anniversary and applied the gold-tone "W" logo on the grille and trunk. All glass is good and the windows roll up and down the way they should. The correct "W" hub caps are intact.

I am including two original Willys radios so the buyer should be able to make up one good-looking radio to dress up the dash. The license plate is not included unless buyer is an Oregon resident.

Some items need repair or replacement: all four brake drums are worn out, the wipers, turn signals, fuel gauge don't work. The heater core has been bypassed, probably because it leaked. One hood hinge is weak so hood should be propped up for safety when working on engine. The left side of front bumper is slightly tweaked (see photo). Clutch works fine but should be adjusted. Same for shift linkage (sometimes is balky going into 2nd gear).

Due to the age of the vehicle it is being sold "as is" with no guarantees or warranties expressed or implied. Odometer shows 72,775 miles as of this date but actual mileage is unknown.
