The studies for the accomplishment of the Aero national Willys had been initiated in 1958 and had included a series of exhausting tests, aiming at better to adjust the model to our conditions. Launchn in March of 1960, the " Aero " continued being object of continuous improvements (photo to national exemplary side 1961). The first Aero manufactured in Brazil had would carroceria remembering it the imported American of 1955 until then, however the motor one was the used one in the Aeros of 1952. It is interesting to also remember that already in 52 it was offered as optional " overdrive " that never was placed to the disposal in Brazil. Aeros 1955 6 cylinders had the traditional engine, however with 115 hp. The exchange could be of 3 marches synchronized with option overdrive or automatic exchange (Hidra-Matic of GM). still Had another option of motorization, therefore, Aeros 1954 had arrived to be manufactured with engine Kaiser 226. The board was different, as well as the internal finishing. In 1960 the nationalization index did not pass of 40% and initially the national Aero was to call " BRASILIA ". The first change occurred in 1962 and already it represented a stage in the accomplishment of a carriage of well nationalized conception.

Aero 2600 was one projéto conceived in 1957 for the American estilista Brook Stevens. This design also influenced the fronts of the Agricultural one (restyled for it), of Itamaraty 66 and Corcel 68. Interesting to notice that first the 2600 used the base, the hood, the cover of the gate luggages and the gates of the old Aero-Willys. Taking off the cover of the trunk, the other cited parts had been used until the end of the production in 71. In I begin it was a bold idea, later started the work and the idea was if materialize, they were not sonhadores. They knew what they wanted, and appeared the first carriage conceived in Brazil, to demonstrate that automobile also was ours. It was in 1961 that the direction of the Willys Overland of Brazil took the decision: The Aero Willys 1963 would be an entirely new carriage, with proper style and unknown string in the international catalogue. To create a carriage was new thing in Brazil, involving problems of all species, many of which nobody imagined. The beginning of the manufacture gave if in October of 1962 and its first appearance it was in October of 62, Paris, in the most famous Hall of the Automobile of the world.      (Photo below - Hall of Paris)

The great change occurred in the Itamaraty that new front gained, new calotas, new back lanterns, and new finishing. In 67 also the Executive Itamaraty was created (first limousine Brazilian serial), counted on some optional ones - few units had been manufactured. Of 67 the 72 few modifications had occurred, most significant it was the engine that passed 3000cc, had changed the standards of finishing and new colors had been adopted.
