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 Spicer Ad appeared in the July-August 1944 issue of Army Ordnance. Looks like a Slat Grille is coming over the hill at the top of the ad.
This was on eBay a couple days ago. I was tempted to bid on it, but I figured the money is better spent elsewhere. It sold for $25 plus a $5 more for shipping. Neat brochure!
“VERY NICE 1946 VINTAGE WILLYS JEEP FIRE TRUCK SALES BROCHURE….8-1/2 X 11, OPENS TO 8-1/2 X 33….TWO SIDED….VERY CLEAN CONDITION, NO TEARS, ETC…SHOWS NUMEROUS PHOTOS OF THE POSTWAR CIVILIAN FIRE JEEP….ALSO PAGE SHOWING SMALL WATER TRAILER AVAILABLE WITH JEEP”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an unusual brochure. Note the Desliu tie-in, too.
“Very unusual mailer here! 1963 Jeep sales mailer from Streater Buick, Jeep Division, Lakeland, Florida. Features the Wagoneer, Gladiator, Universal & FC-170 models. Also advertises the new hour long tv show produced by Desilu productions, “The Greatest Show On Earth” appearing on ABC television about the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus. The show uses Jeep vehicles and hence the tie in.”
These two brochures, one from Koenig and one from Ramsey, show two early platforms for installing a rear PTO winch. These brochures were part of a 1947 Willys Overland equipment book.

This package introduces the Merchandiser to the Jeep sales staff. I can’t tell how many pages it is.

Published by the merchandising and advertising department for Jeep salesman , also included are two advertising bulletins introducing the Jeep Merchandiser , all items are in the original cardboard binder , 9 x 11.5.”
Here’s another 11×17 inch foldout brochure with a “GRIN and BEAR IT” theme. It is Form No DM61-09.
