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 .
Seth spotted the patch below for sale on eBay. The Flatlanders 4-Wheelers club was incorporated February 11, 1976, in Amherst, Ohio. The patch was likely part of an estate sale, based on the seller’s comments on eBay.
“Large 8 x 5.5” (meant for the back of a jacket), 1970’s “Flat Landers 4 Wheelers” Jeep Club Patch.

UPDATE: No longer for sale.
Joe spotted this Crosley (don’t know the model) for sale in Winslow, Arizona. It looks like it’s restorable to me, but I don’t know a ton about them.

The top ad is from the October 1945 issue of the Spokesman Review. It ran for at least a month (October – November, 1945). The colored version below is a print from a scan (magazine scan?).
Great photos. I wish these were in color. They were published in the Jun 9, 1946, issue of the Milwaukee Journal and the June 16, 1946, issue of the Evening Star.
I think the author is overstating just how many muscles kids will get by operating this jeep. It was published by Montreal Gazette in 1973.
This March 1956 from Willys News details the story of how a huge payload led to the sail of a jeep.
This photo appeared in the 1955 Willys News. That’s an interesting bumper.
One seller has a bunch of Jeep News issues for sale. Some are 1960s and some 1970s. I’ve bid on a couple, but there are many more.
