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 “That’s the Car for Me” Ad was in the January 1947 issue of Holiday Magazine and listed for sale on eBay. I don’t remember seeing this one.
UPDATE: **SOLD** on eBay for $432.
Maury shared this promotional booklet. Looks in better condition than mine.
“The Story of The Universal Jeep. 1950 Willys Overland Promotional Giveaway Comic Book. Fine Condition. Complete comic book, no spine roll, no wear, no marks or creases, very good page color, supple page quality.”
Maury has created the most extensive Warn history that I have seen to date. He just uncovered some additional Warn brochures and has wound them into his already extensive history here:
Below are a couple of interesting ones he’s added. First, this approximately 1953 sales sheet seems to target potential resellers of Warn Hubs (around early 1955 Warn moved to selling hubs only through Willys dealers). I had not idea Warn was advertising in ten different magazines by 1953.
This next brochure is actually a testimonial for Warn. However, it’s hard to read, so I’ve broken it up into sections at the bottom of the post.
Here’s the same brochure lightened and separated for easier reading (sorry the colors aren’t better):
UPDATE: Tis the season … Craig shared this ad. Was on eBay until it sold. This was published in the December 19, 1942, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, pg 33.
You rarely see Santa delivering packs of Old Gold cigarettes to all the good boys and girls anymore.
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $86.76 on eBay. I didn’t expect it would go for that much.
This plate might have been made by the same folks who made the Ramsey plate I have.
“Whitco Jeep Colorado Glass Change Tray Trivet Desk Top Advertising. Clean, no chips or cracks. Please be sure to check all the pictures carefully for condition and size.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a neat brochure. Perhaps it’s out of Canada?
“Original Willys Ambulance folder brochure. Covers MIL-NER model 475 (4WD). Brochure is in French language ONLY. NO English. Measures about 8-1/2″ x 11″”
This is one of my favorite brochures. It’s a 25 page pamphlet with lots of pics. You can see all the pages here.

“This is not a reproduction or photocopy. It is an ORIGINAL advertisement that was carefully removed from a vintage magazine. It is a beautiful and would look great in a frame. It could be used to decorate your home, living room, hobby room, man cave, garage, bar, rec room, office, bathroom, etc.
Measurement: This is a full page ad and is measures approximately 13″ x 10.5″.”
Given it’s got some damage (it has some dents), it seems aggressively priced.
