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 .
That looks like a big trailer for that wagon. It must have tested the brakes.

“A Vintage printed postcard as described in title
Publisher-photographer-Artist—Petley”
That’s what I always liked about the Willys advertising, they always S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D the truth. I remember a TV commercial for the CJ5 while watching Maverick as a child, a CJ5 with a winch pulled a school bus up the side of a cliff. As an eight year old, boy was I impressed. My Uncle Joe viewed this commercial and just rolled his eyes. I’m sure we can find this someplace on utube. Kind of reminds me of Joe Isuzu.
I tried to find that video, but no luck so far! I’ll keep a look out for it.
this is BALONEY — I wouldn’t tow a trailer with any willys wagon — L-134 , F-134 , L6-148 , L6-161 , F6-161 , 6-226 , 6-230 ( maybe the 6-230 could do it , slowly and in low range up hills )
Speaking of Joe Isuzu, The Isuzu always reminded me of the old Willys wagons, that “crackerbox” styling was intentional to capitalize on the Willys wagon. In the same manor of thinking, so was the advertising, as in the Trooper commercial where a helicopter flying high above a mountain top plateau. lands with Joe Isuzu standing next to a Isuzu Trooper, a stretch of the imagination for sure. (Have I got a deal for you) The history of Willys Jeep vehicles was way ahead of is time, not only in SUV’s but also influenced automotive advertising. To think back in time, how one of the smallest vehicle producers of the era, survived throughout the decades to become a leader in the automotive industry.
This a postcard for the 4 corners area ,not any Willys advertising . I have towed several Airstream Trailers and they are very light, a Willys wagon could pull a single axel Airstream with ease .
that 4 corner monument is a lot different now — its huge , flags flying , statues , diners , big parking lots , real tourist trap — much more interesting is the mesa verde national park , a little farther east , then hit the BIG BEAR JEEP TRAIL IN THE SAN JUAN MTS — THE MECCA OF ALL JEEP ROADS !!
I agree with Terry as I own an Airstream. The trailer in the pictures probably weighs less than 3000 lbs.
Interesting. I would have thought they weighed more than that. Good to know!
If you notice that Airstream is not even hooked up to the wagon in the postcard
Airstream trailers are built in Jackson Center Ohio.I was told that the factory refers owners wanting major repairs done to a small company 15 miles from me that refurbishes them.
Maybe they unhitched the trailer to run around with the Jeep. It’s also difficult to see if anything is supporting the tongue of the trailer if it really isn’t hitched to the Jeep. The Jeep is just as capable as any other car from the 1940’s. Some of those cars towed even bigger heavier trailers.
