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 .
Thanks to Jan for sharing this rare sixteen-page January 1947 issue of Willys-Overland Sales News!
I’m not very familiar with these nor do I know how many issues were released, but I assume this style of magazine was discontinued once the Salesbuilder magazines were created in mid-1948.
Dave,
I have seen some of these from February 1946 to January 1948. The first issue of Sales Builder was July 1948 and was released to be a replacement for Sales News. It was supposed to be monthly. The latest one of those I have seen is August 1951.

If I remember correctly there is an on screen appearance of a military jeep in the movie It’s A Wonderful Life. It’s in the background of the scene downtown where they’re discussing the return of the WW2 Bailey brother war hero. Maybe they militarized one of the film studio’s civilian jeeps mentioned in the article.
The Bristol-Meyers company aircraft is a Beech 18 “Twin Beech” one of the first corporate transports produced from the late’30s to 1969.
As a retired officer, I find the posed Toledo Police photos especially entertaining, especially the one where he runs the violator up into the curb and grass. And a long-stroke 4 and 5:38 gears, I imagine it was a pursuit in slow motion lol . Training title: 4 ways not to conduct a traffic stop.
