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: Coincidentally, I received a better version of this brochure in the mail today as part of a packet of brochures, so the pics are much improved. This brochure is Form 46 SWMI-3CM-11-49.
This is how the back side of the brochure when unopened.
The top 1/4th of this foldout is a different page than the lower 3/4. The lower 3/4 folds down. Also, note the ‘Jeep’ badge that appears subtly in the lower right corner.
This page shows the brochure fully opened.
This shows how the back side looks fully opened.
This description on this photo isn’t too helpful: [T-5 William R.] Shapiro sits [in what’s left of a Jeep]. You can see other wrecked jeeps in the background. The photographer was J. Malan Heslop.
