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 .
Priced at $10 OBO, this is a nice looking CJ-2A. Not obvious date.

“Beautiful photograph from roadside America. Jeep CJ-2A with full hard top. Super-clean vehicle. Post-war period, photo is undated. Suburban background subject matter. Pic is chemically produced on glossy scalloped-edge photo paper and is a good black and white. Rectangular pic measures 3.5″ x 5.25″ and is in excellent condition.”
The photo appears to be from a Polaroid Land Camera. In the 50s growing up, my parents would entertain a lot and there was at least one or 2 of these at the parties. They took excellent B&W photos and, when peeled, would have the same edges and hinge (on the left). Still have albums full from those days. They started making these in the late 40s, so this photo could well date to that period.
Barney,
Hadn’t thought about that, but it makes sense. I’ll have to keep a watch for those borders on other photos.

Like a lot of things, it’s generational. With my love of photography developing in the 60s, I received 2 cameras; a Brownie 610 and a Polaroid Swinger, the later took the same-edged b&w photos, just smaller. Have a box full of those memories still.
