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 .
The San Francisco Gate published this photo of Princess Elizabeth as part of a tribute to the jeep in 2014.

In fact, even during her Honeymoon in 1947 Princess Elizabeth was driven by her husband Prince Phillip.
That was a interesting slide show put together by the SF Gate, some good pics of early models. I don’t know much about photography, are some of the WW11 shots colorized or did color photos exist at that time. The Queens Jeep is interesting, it has whitewalls on both sides of the tires. I think they may have sacrificed some turning radius with those front fender skirts. I wonder if that jeep still exists.
Great slide show. I honestly believe that we might be speaking a different language if it wasn’t for the little jeep helping out our troops. I know there are a lot of other factors, but the jeeps contribution is undeniable and that’s why I like jeeps. The jeep was designed for certain tasks but did so much more and I think that’s cool. It is one of the greatest automobiles ever made thus far. Long live the jeep!
Mark S. There were some color photos taken during WWII. I’d ay 99.9 percent of the photos of that era were black and white, the .01 percent was color. Color film was in it’s infancy, and was much more susceptible to temperature and humidity than black and white, so some of the places the photographer would need to go they just could not tie it along, and most would not have access to it.
There are also a lot of colorized photos from that era.
