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 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.
Really interesting ad. I have an ad in this post http://farmjeep.blogspot.com/2015/08/plows-and-more-plows-at-least-in.html that shows the same split screen windshield. Over on the Early CJ5 forum it was identified as a possible prototype.
What I find more amazing is the next to the last drawing of the Jeep with a scoop on the rear. It appears to be Stratton Hydro-Lift. The ad above still shows the Monroe Lift. This is the earliest evidence I’ve seen of when the Stratton might have replaced the Monroe.
Thanks for posting.
Don’t forget December of 1956 was when the new FC-150 debuted. ;^)
Clint,
That’s true. That’s why I concluded the poster I printed is an early/mid 1956, as there is a DJ-3A and a CJ-6 but no FCS 🙁
