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 .
A service station merchandising contest in 1955 was sponsored by the B.F. Goodrich company. Six cream, blue and red CJ-5s were given away as prizes. The article was published in the May 1955 issue of Willys News.
This February 1961 mailing brochure marked Form No. DM61-02 highlights the advantages of a jeep. This particular brochure has some wear and a stain, so isn’t an ideal example.
If folded, this was the 8.5″ by 5.5″ front page:
And this the back: 
The 8.5″ x 11″ interior: 
If unfolded all the way, this 17″ x 11″ complete foldout:
There were several articles that made the June 1955 issue of Willys News worth purchasing, even if the price was higher than I wanted. Case in point is the gravity dump box idea below. Perhaps someone can recreate this rare mod?
I may not be able to read this brochure from Sweden, but I like the pictures :-). I guess no one else on eBay could read it either, which is why I got it for next to nothing.
This is a rare Corn Picker brochure that was on eBay. Given the reference to the ‘Jeep’ Tractor, this would have been published around 1951 or 1952 (no mention of the CJ-3B).
Thanks to Gayland for sharing this brochure and much more. I’ve got to go through the rest and figure out a good way to share some info, but I thought this was worthy of it’s own post.
Note: Another firm started up about the same time as Safari-Kar on the east coast.
The two-tone truck was front page news in the April 1956 issue of Willys News.
UPDATE: Sold on eBay for $26.00
“This auction consists of two items: a heavily illustrated 68-page Jeep Vehicle Catalog and Parts Price List number 12 dated January 1956 for a company called Jeep Service Dipl.Ing. E. Stahl & Co. in Vienna, Austria, AND a 12-page parts price list dated 1 January 1956 for the US Military Model MB jeep from the same firm. The smaller catalog is attached inside the front cover of the larger 6 x 8-¼ inch catalog.”
Not perfect, but appears in great shape.
