That picture is of the last of the Willys-Overland after Ford bought the company in 1967.

"A 1979 newspaper article in the Toledo Blade commented on an Aero-Lark DeLuxe on a 3,500 mile tour of America, noting that it would make "a perfect 1979 model, with 108-inch wheelbase, all-welded unit body, and 28 mpg combination city and highway. And it meets present federal pollution standards without modification."[4]

With their engine bays sized to fit the Continental straight six, the Aeros have plenty of room for small-block V8 swaps
