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 .
There are two of these Jeep Parts’ postcards available on eBay. Given the FC-170 and the split window trucks and wagons, I’d say this is a 1958 or 1959 postcard.

According to this thread, the words to the song are as follows:
Jeep Jeep thats’s what they call it, Just needs a G.I. to hold it,
Bounc-ing o-ver road and lane, driv-ing this tune round my brain.
Have you ev-er tried THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP its a gal-lop and a wriggle not a creep,
You must find a lease.and-len-der, who is just a sol – id send-er but be carefull you don’t end up in a heap
When you hear a rat-tle and a little hoot Then its time for you to shake a dainty boot—-
All the book-ies will be leap-ing and the Ser-geant Ma-jor weep-ing
When they get THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP
You bend your knees– and then you boog-ie to your partner with a Beep – Beep – Beep – Beep, You cud-dle up,
but you had bet-ter watch your drivin cause your’e tak-ing a ride in a Jeep.
Jack and Jill no long-er ling-er on a hill
Now-a -days they’re Su-sy -que-ing with a will
At the Palais you will find them with the gang all there behind them Jiv-ing to THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP——
Just a few updates today. I should have the irrigation done by tomorrow. Calves got moved today, so hope to move our steers in the next day or two. We have family stuff this weekend, so my hope is to have more regular updates next week.
UPDATE: This was last published Jan 08, 2018.
This was published in a late 1940s sales book. One guy claims he hooked up his windshield wiper vacuum hose to his milking machine to streamlined the milking.
