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 .
Was this just a one-0ff creation or were there a number of CJ-3Bs modified like this?

UPDATE: Oops, Roberto correctly points out that this is a Delahaye and not a Hotchkiss. I was wondering about the fenders not looking correct for a Hotchkiss.
The caption of the picture, if I’m translating this correctly, means “The editor of Paris Match is perched on the famous weekly publication’s jeep for the Tour de France in 1953. This is a French Hotchkiss jeep. You can learn more about the Hotchkiss at Andy’s Military Jeep Site or in French here.
Craig forwarded this picture of a St. Bernard that is about the size of an FC!
David sent this image showing the delivery of the first FC-150 to South Dakota. He was wondering if anyone recognized the dealership?
David sent this image showing a delivery of DJ-3As. It was printed in “Willys News” in January, 1957. I need to get my hands on some more copies of Willys News.
This flatfender looks like it’s speeding down a hill pretty fast. I can’t tell if they are wearing helmets or not.

This is an unusual photo that shows MP jeeps parked in Oberammergau, Germany.
“1948 photo US Military M.P. Willys jeeps in Oberammergau Germany along with other Trucks The Photo has been handled a lot threw out the years but will still look great in a frame.”
Jacques emailed me yesterday with a digital copy from a color slide of a 1946 CJ-2A.
He writes, “I was raised in Reading PA but have been living in Australia for the last 37 years. Attached is a colour slide I scanned of my Dads 1946 CJ2A when very new. He bought it 1n 1947 as a demo model from a dealer in Reading who gave rides in it at the airport, now Spaatz Field to promote sales.
It was Harvest Tan with Harvard Red wheels. He had it until 1962 when he traded it for a new IH Travelall 4 x 4. Believe a mechanic at the IH dealership bought it.
Seem to remember the Jeep dealership in Reading was named Ira J Freyer. Wonder if it still exists?
Forgot to mention Dad so loved the military jeeps he used in New Guinea in the Signal Corps in WW2 that was the reason he bought a “new” CJ2A after the war.”
When’s the last time you saw a drag race between a truck and a wagon? Ron Day forwarded this unique drag race photo from the early 1980s in Tampico, Washington. You may remember the Yakima Jeep Jockey photos he posted on his website. Reader responses were so positive to these, that Ron has begun to spend some time looking through his negatives to see what else he has.
