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 .
Nice that the soldiers in the photos are named, but they left out the girl’s name.

Name? Did someone forget to ask her name? I thought YOU got her name. (lol)
I’ll bet someone was after her number though!
Being an Iowan I thought I would try and track down Reynold Foell. Unfortunately he passed away in 2008 at the age of 90. Here is a little information from his obit reference how he got into that photo.
He served in the US Army during World War II in the European African Middle Eastern Theater.
He fought at the Invasion of Normandy Beach. Reynold was present for General Patton’s speech.
After the war he came home to Iowa and farmed until his retirement.
Great idea Matt!
Interesting history, thanks Matt. I’m very interested in the events of that decade. Everyone in the whole wide world had their lives turned upside down.
This is probably an army publicity photo. My late uncle and two others were featured in April, 1945 “Yank” magazine on leave site-seeing in Paris, and meeting the locals. It seems to me that U. S. Army propaganda wanted everyone to think that the boys fighting fighting the war didn’t have it so bad. This photo reminds me of that featured article and photo shoot.
