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 .
This series of photos was included in the March 1956 issue of Willys News.
Early Zamboni Ice surfacer Model D — CJ-3B. See more Zamboni jeep models here.
The painter’s jeep, in particular, is pretty interesting. He’s got DRW, and his compressor is located INSIDE the cab in place of a passenger seat. If this is the way he usually paints, I’d imagine his jeep is pretty colorful, as well.
cool old photos!
Great photos , Love the painters setup with rear three point hitch and dualies as well as the bridge being built with Flatty equipped hoisting boom setup . Would love a close up on that one!!!!
Would imagine all of these were commercial versions that offered sales brochures. Anybody seen one for any of these save the zambonis?
On pages 108 & 109 of “Zamboni: The Coolest Machines on the Ice” there are reproductions of CJ-3B-based Zamboni brochures. Those are the only ones I can remember seeing.
A little history: Frank Zamboni created the first Zamboni on a Model A chassis. He originally called the company Paramount, but discovered the name had already been taken. So, he changed the name of the company and the ice resurfacer to the Zamboni. The second mode (Model B) was built on a CJ-2A. After that, he used CJ-3As, CJ-3Bs, and CJ-5s, until branching to a custom design.
kent State used to have a cj3b version Zamboni. I’ve seen photos of it.
