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 mixer was featured in the 1949 Willys Overland Equipment Book. It was manufactured by Hertzler and Zook, a company established in 1899 out of Belleville, Pennsylvania, that manufactured an array of machinery and farm implements. There are still a few catalogs left out there, such as this 1926-27 catalog for sale at Abe Books.

These documents were in a late 1940s Willys Overland binder.
There seems to be a very slight difference between the two sprayer packages offered by Field Force Manufacturing. One package used a pump with stainless steel non-magnetic plungers that gave the pump higher capacity and more pressure capability. It weighed slightly more, too.
The Truck ad is from the September 8, 1955, issue of the Heppner Gazette-Times, while the wagon is from the October 27, 1955, issue. I guess the 1955 fall advertising theme was “All-Purpose”.
Someone out to like this one.

“Nice original willys service sign. Painted on metal 26″ x25″ double sided with org hanging bracket. A few scratches and marks, otherwise excellent shiny condition.”
Using the Heath Hitch, a person could attach several different attachments. This brochure came from a late 1940s Willys-Overland Equipment Book.
I’ll take the jeep, too! This early CJ-3B ad is in the May 7, 1953, issue of the Heppner Gazette Times one I hadn’t seen.
This is a brochure for an early pump.
The numbers at the bottom suggest to me the date of this brochure is September, 1961. But, this still has the split glass, so those numbers might not be referring to the date.

“Original non color sales sheet , 8.5 x 11 , printed both sides , three file holes at edge”
This ad promoting “8 reasons why the ‘Jeep’ does more jobs … better!” appeared in the March 15, 1956, issue of the Heppner Gazette Times in Heppner, Oregon. Interesting that it shows a dual pane windshield.
This three page brochure for a General Electric 200 AMP Mobile Arc Welder appeared in a Willys Overland Sales book circa 1950.
Just a few updates today….
I’d never run across this ad. It was published in the December, 02, 1948 Heppner Gazette-Times.
Another Willys ad from Eastern Oregon. The ad was published Thursday, October 27, 1949, in the Heppner Gazette Times.
This ad was published in the tiny Oregon town of Nyssa, August 29, 1946.
This hard-to-find brochure is being sold out of Great Britain.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** The listing has been removed from eBay for some reason.
This is a 13.5″ sign spotted on eBay by Chris. It’s located in the Philippines.
“This Auction is for this Vintage Jeep Dealer Sign . It is rusty in places and a little dirty but I did try to clean it and may not be completely flat as well but it may still need more cleaning after you receive it. I treated the rusty places so it’s not too bad anymore .
It measures 13 1/2 Inches at its longest measurement And is heavy metal sign not plastic or decals stickers.
I auction signs for customers here and I keep contact information if you need more information on this I will contact original owner of this and see if can get more information for you . or if you like I can get you contact information from the owner just let me know in advance
The age and condition of this is seen in pictures so look closely before deciding to bid because by bidding you are in agreement to bid to win and keep this item as The pictures are part of the item description.”
I’m still looking for the 1001 list. You can see the original ad at this link.
UPDATE: The 4-page brochure doesn’t include a DJ-5 or 6, because they didn’t arrive until 1965 (thanks Colin). This may have been produced in March of 1961. International Harvester released their own 40+-page review of the Scout vs. the Jeep a month later. Coincidence?
I scooped this brochure off of eBay. Not the back page the brochure shows the “World’s Most Convertible Vehicles”, yet one of the two DJ-3As pictured has a top. Instead, why not include a DJ-5 or 6?
The seller has several of these available. They are 6 5/16ths” Wide by 2 1/2″ High.

This is a cool stamp.
“Metal stamp with “The Jeep Family of 4 Wheel Drive Vehicles” slogan. Marked 1694 on one side. Measures approx. 1 3/8” w x 3/4” h. It is used and has ink residue. Please see all pictures for complete description, thanks!”
I thought this was a business card at first, but it is 3.5″ x 8″, so it’s much larger than that. There’s nothing on the reverse side.
