This article, and the short two page article that follows it, appeared in the Summer 1974 issue of The Milestone Car periodical. I’d never heard of this publication nor the associated “Milestone Car Society”.

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 .

So they are a little quirky! So are kids, wives and other items with their own personalities! Had ours for 47 years, you get used to its quirkyness!! Some of those things can be overcome by Mustang II front ends with rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, Buick V6 engines, later model transmissions, either manual or automatic, higher geared Ford rear ends, extra safety measures to hold the hood in place, 12 volt electrical systems. For those who love the originality of 1948-51 Jeepsters, larger battery cables to make the starter spin faster, taking back roads to avoid freeway speeds, learning how to actually know and use the Borg Warner overdrive and driving the car in fairer weather. However, the sound of the exhaust coming from a 4 cylinder Jeepster going through the gears is like an orchestra and more than makes up for all the quirks these cars have.
I’ll do some Monday morning quaterbacking now and say he should have trailered that vehicle home.
