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 .
I found two Forward Control photos in the Chicago Tribune archives.

This model jeep made from wood has some good touches.
Custom-made Wooden Willys WWII Military Jeep and Trailer
~All Hardwoods~
This beautiful Custom-made Willys World War II Military Jeep is a masterful creation by a master wood craftsman and military Veteran.
All of the parts of this Jeep and Trailer were custom made, in all hardwoods, from a paper pattern by Toys and Joys. Then it was assembled. This labor of love adds up to about 60 hours of time.
Now you see the wonderful finished product, and you can own it!
Measurements: Jeep – 12-1/2″ long x 6″ high (top of windshield) x 5-1/4″ wide, Trailer – 10-1/2″ long (with the tongue) x 3-3/4″
Condition: New, Custom-made, One of a kind
A fantastic item to add to your collection, or it would make a great gift!!
