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 .

Looks professional…very symmetrical.
Wonder if it was chrome plated?
The headlight curves and flat bars gives it a military slat grille look.
As you say, wonder if its dealer installed factory, dealer installed aftermarket or mail order..JC Whitney, Montgomery Ward, Sears, or Western Auto?
If it’s a factory dealer installed piece, the price might be close.
I see lots of Jeepsters, but few have factory correct restorations with that level of detail to warrant that kind of price.

I’ve seen a number of these listed as Willys grille guards, but they were for the jailbar style Ford trucks from the early 1940’s.
I think this is a nice job of fabrication, all of those bends could have been done on a Hossfeld or similar bender by a competent welder/fabricator/blacksmith. All in all, I’d call it a nice contemporary aftermarket accessory ,
sure it’s nice but not $1000 nice. maybe 100 bucks.
