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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has some wear and the price is pretty high given the condition.

“Print. ca 1947. Albuquerque, NM. Tovrea Equipment Co., Willys Jeep Dealership.”
The August 20, 1944, issue of the Evening Star shared these jeeps used for War Bond Sales. They were modified by the Camp Gruber, Oklahoma, motor pool. The image with “Jeeps in Civvies” label has been featured on eWillys previously, but I’ve never seen the other two jeeps.
I didn’t learn a whole lot about this truck, but apparently in 2015 this truck cruised the west coast as some type of grassroots(?) marketing venture for Nordstrom. Multiple photos of it are shown on a marketing site called “Out Cold”. I think “Out Cold” leases/rents the truck for events?

I don’t think I’ve documented this ad. I can’t remember seeing one that included a photo/illustration of just the body (lower right corner).

“Vintage 1949 Magazine Ad For Jeep
A Full Page Ad for Jeep, “The Jeep Station Wagon – a roomy, comfortable passenger car and a practical utility vehicle for family and business errands.” The backside is an article with picture. Also included are pages with articles and an Ad for “Volt Athletic Equipment”.
The Ad measures approximately 13 1/2″ x 10 1/2″. It is in good vintage condition with discoloration due to age. The Ad is kept in a clear plastic bag with cardboard so it doesn’t get bent.”
UPDATE II: Thanks to Fred for finding a second video, this time in color. Besides the parade, it shows a few remaining snipers in Paris, captured germans, and other events.
I don’t know why, but sometimes the video comes up “video unavailable” within this page. If it doesn’t work, try this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1oVABc12js
UPDATE: Thanks to Fred for sharing the video of this event (original link here).
(12/06/2018) Must have been an amazing parade!

Barry went on a recent trip to Torino, Italy. There, he visited Italy’s National Auto Museum, where he spotted this Ford GPW. It was only one of three US vehicles in the museum.
He added, “Jeep is a big name in Italy since acquired by Fiat. From the marker it looks like they are trying to associate this with the modern “Jeep” name. Excellent display of over 200 European autos dating back to the late 1800’s”
Here’s a second image from Wikipedia showing a slightly different angle:
This is an exterior shot of the museum:
