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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s another photo of a woman and a jeep.
Charles forwarded these two photos of women in jeeps.
Actress and singer Marlene Dietrich can be seen in the first photo:
The second photo shows Ruth Cowan, a reporter during WWII.
UPDATE: This photo of Dorothy Soderlund was purchased on eBay last May. Her niece, Nancy, discovered the photo on eWillys and wondered if an eWillys reader purchased the photo? As you can read in the comments, Nancy thought a great deal of her aunt Dorothy. If you purchased the photo, either comment below or contact me directly d @ evillys.com to learn more about Dorothy from Nancy.
Isn’t this an unusual photo? Based on the folded caption on the back of the photo, Dorothy Soderlund was a State Department Employee who is holding a trophy made from a bomb casing and a baseball signed by Eisenhower (possibly Dwight).
It’s a cute card.
“THIS FUN VINTAGE VALENTINE CARD HAS A WWII ARMY SOLDIER GIVING HIS GIRLFRIEND A RIDE IN HIS JEEP.
THIS IS PRINTED ON THE FRONT: “JEEPERS BUT I’D LIKE YOU FOR MY VALENTINE”.
THE CARD MEASURES 5″ HIGH AND 7-1/2″ WIDE. IT IS DATED 1944 ON THE BACK.
IT IS SIGNED IN PENCIL ON THE BACK. THERE IS NO TAPE OR SCRAPBOOK RESIDUE ON THE BACK OF THE CARD.”
I don’t think it’s a jeep, but it is Marilyn.
UPDATE: Sold on eBay for $3.65.
Here’s a great vintage postcard on eBay.
“Pink Jeep at Waikiki. This auction is for a nice divided postcard showing A Pretty Girl and Pink Jeep, Honolulu, Hawaii – Wonderful 1960 dated card – Published by well known Mike Roberts #C7639”
This photo shows Brazilian’s rounding up Italians during WWII.
Anyone recognize the woman in this pin-up photo? I don’t know her.
I just spotted this vintage card, so I got it for Ann. Or maybe, I’ll give it to her, so she can give it to me? Somehow, I’ll make sure she is happy and I get the card!
Marc found this interesting photo. The caption explains that a nurse is handing out a pill to help prevent colds. Anyone know what the pills might be?
The information reads: FATAL TO FLU — A pill a day keeps the flu away! That’s the theory behind a cold-prevention campaign now being carried on among workers at Willys-Overland Motors, where the use of special immunization tablets have reduce colds by 80 percent and checked absenteeism. Here, a plant nurse passes the tablets out among “Jeep” girls on the company’s assembly line.

Here’s a short, but neat story about a Navy GPW purchased by a woman following WWII.
