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 .
This 2-page Car for all the People ad was featured in the Saturday Evening Post on December 21, 1946, pages 56 and 57. You’ll notice the ad has “Makers of America’s Most Useful Vehicles” phrase (the prequel phrase to “The World’s Most useful Vehicles”). it also has a Willys-Overland badge. I’m working on documenting when that bade comes and goes.
On the cover the magazine was a Main Street Christmas scene that included, at the bottom right, a tree tied to the top of a jeep.
Hi Dave That POST cover was Falls City Nebraska… their main street. My grandparents lived there, and John Falter ( the artist) did too. They had a Packard car at the time, and it was parked in a certain spot, included in the painting. As a kid , they often showed me which car it was and had alot of fun with the cover. My grandfathers first cousin, who was like a bro to him, had a CJ and used to give us kids Jeep rides in the hills of Richardson County, where I still live.. Pretty cool! Thanks Charlie in Nebraska
Thanks for the info Charles!
Hello, I have a wooden toy version of this type of Jeep Station Wagon. Is this a known object? Found it in Belgium.
regards Fer
For Cools,
Thanks for the note! I’m not aware of any commercially made wood versions of the early wagon. I might be able to tell you more if you can send me some pics (d#deilers.com)? Sounds like a great find!

I missed this post the first time around (didn’t have my Jeep yet).
The downtown in the painting looks a lot like an enlarged version of my dad’s hometown (where we went on vacations as a kid) in western Wisconsin.
JohnB,
It does have a midwestern feel for sure. (I lived in Madison, WI, for a couple of years).
