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 1945 notes that the lessons learned from creating US Royal tires for the military are reflected in the company’s new U.S. Royal DeLuxe Tires.
“Here is a hard to find original advertisement for The United States Rubber Company. This great old WWII era Ad was removed from a vintage 1945 Magazine.
Page is about 10 inches by 12 1/2 inches with the actual ad perhaps a bit smaller. Condition of this 68+ year old Ad is excellent.”

“This old comic book ad (which ran in publications as a promotion, and measures approximately 6×9 inches) is heavily creased and worn, but I hope it gets a good home! Not a photocopy or more recent reproduction.”

This ad for preformed wire rope doesn’t seem to be sponsored by a particular company (unless I’m missing something?)
“11,000 Jeeps could be made from steel conserved by Performed Wire Rope…
Specifications
Ad is about 7.75 x 11 inches
Condition Note
It’s rather difficult to get the color and the contrast of the original in a scan AND preserve any flaws, which tend to get muted, so this text will describe flaws, if any.
The ad is in good condition. This ad has been carefully removed from an original period magazine. Auctioned as is.”

Anyone ever seen one of these in person? I found this in a 1957 Ramsey brochure I bought.
The text of the ad highlights Santoloid “S” and Santolubes.
