Under the hood, a new 6-cylinder engine dubbed the “Super Hurricane” provided vastly improved performance for the lightweight car. While designing the Aero models, Willys took cues from other manufacturers, incorporating luxurious interior fabrics and colors and building taillights that reflected the forward-looking sensibilities of the period.
