Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Everyone in the Navy jeep seems happy.

Interesting “Official Use”.
Interesting that it’s a MB in the late 50’s and not upgraded to a M38-A1. I guess if they were in good condition, they kept them in service. Be interesting to know the govt’s official replacement policies.
They were still using the WWII jeeps alongside the M38s in Korea. So a very possible picture.
The driver looks like a pretty happy, and lucky, guy to me!
The man who took this pic, and several others, was my father, Don Comoe. He passed away in 2010.
Thanks for the note Jim. Sorry to hear about your father’s passing. If this photo is indicative of his other photos, he did good work 🙂
