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 keepsake brochure lacks any date, but I presume to be the second tour of jeeps around part of the country, probably in 1948. The brochure cover page shows a Mahl Loader attached to one jeep and a Blue Star hardtop on another jeep. I wonder if a similar brochure was made for the first Cavalcade.
Get your wallets out if one of those WO pennants pop up on ebay.
Those pennants caught my eye too. I guess they eventually found their way into the trash barrel behind the dealership. 😞
Neat item.
But can anyone tell me what’s the difference between the “Station Wagon” model and the “Station Sedan”?
Furnishings (Station Wagon would be nicer), extra seats?
JohnB,
The Station Sedan was basically a more luxurious model of the 2WD wagon (more styling, more room, more power with the inline 6). The booklet on this page gives more info: http://www.ewillys.com/2022/09/19/1948-jeep-station-sedan-demonstration-manual/

Thanks for the explanation.
Somehow, I would have thought the Station Wagon would have been the upscale version, given the high priced and prestige ” usually given to wagons of that era.
The salesman’s guide reminds us of has WO had the right idea about compact SUVs for family use, just 50-70 years too soon.
