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 .
Here is an early article that highlights the potential for jeeps following the war. You can see the online version at Google Books. I couldn’t find an issue for sale on eBay.
Roberto spotted this unusual ad at the Advertising Archives website. Searches using Jeep and Willys yields some others as well, but none as unique. There are no indications regarding which magazines published the ad.
This advertisement includes a couple Tonka jeeps with descriptions.
“Great ads from a 1963 W D Gousset Co publication. These ads are over 49 years old and are excellent for framing. Pages are mostly good condition, see scans for details. Measures about 8″ X 11″. Combine orders at the same shipping rate for these ads no matter how many ads you buy at a flat rate of $2.99 in the US, $3.99 Canada & $5.99 Worldwide.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“ITEM MEASURES 5″ TALL A NEW UNUSED POCKET NOTEBOOK CALENDER SPIRAL BOUND IN EXC. COND”
I wish this hasn’t been folded.
“Original one sheet movie poster measuring approx. 27×41 inches. From the 1968 UA release of MASSACRE HARBOR. This is an original movie poster that would have been displayed by a theater. Not a reproduction. Folded as it came originally. This poster is in excellent unused condition. Photo is of the actual item listed. View my other items and combine shipping!”

I would imagine this is an early Howe brochure.
“This auction is for a rare vintage dealer brochure for the CJ2A fire jeep conversion. Was from Cutler Motors in Mora MN. The brochure comes with a matching envelope.”
