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 .
How about this great ad from the August 9, 1943, issue of Newsweek. I’ll be posting a different one from Newsweek tomorrow. This is pieced together from two different pages.
I spotted and purchased it on eBay today. There were three other issues, but I got outbid with a few seconds to go on the rest.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
These fuel tanks could be pulled by jeeps and other vehicles.
“This is an original vintage 1943 magazine advertisement by Fletcher Aviation Corp. (Pasadena, California) titled
“New Fletcher Jeep Tanks … give gasoline service on the double!”
with 2 WWII era photos.
The ad measures approximately 7 3/4″ x 11 1/4″, is in excellent condition, and can easily be matted & framed.”
This is another good ad from Argentina.
“**** VINTAGE & VERY RARE ORIGINAL ARGENTINA MAGAZINE ADVERTISING !!!.- ****

I’m not entirely sure how that equipment is attached to the rear of the jeep.

“Awesome Jeep Pam Clock up for bids. Great condition. Reads Pam Clock Co Inc New Rochelle New York USA at the bottom. Lights up and keeps time.
If you would like more photos, have a question, or would like to make an offer feel free to message me. Has slight aging towards the bottom of the ring but no cracks in the glass. The jeep face is made of glass as well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I can’t imagine there are many of these ads left.
“ORIGINAL RARE 1957 JEEP WILLYS CANADA WHEEL DRIVE AD ( JEEP SNOW BLOWER ) CANADIAN”
This brochure includes pictures of the bed extension and the optional vertical doors (I think Andy’s Airport Jeep had these).
