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 .
Craig writes, “This was the Midnight Drive-away program that happened at the conclusion of the 1959 Chicago Auto show.There was a little written article about the event but it was pieced together and not easily scanned.”
Check out more photos at Craig’s “Dealership News Pieces” Page.

Craig found this upsized Mule (XM443E1) published in an issue of Jeep News.
Craig forwarded this photo from the 1961 January/February issue of Jeep News.
Craig sent this scan from a Willys News article (though we are uncertain of the exact issue). It shows a DRW FC-170 with some special street painting equipment.
I tried to do some updates last night, but the internet wasn’t cooperating. For lack of any other reason, I’m going to blame the storm. I think I should be able to do some updates mid afternoon.
Here’s a pic from a Willys News paper that I spotted while visiting with Dave Antram yesterday (thanks Dave!). More on that visit later.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is Volume 1, #2 of Vagabond: Adventures in 4-Wheel Drive.
“NOS Jeep Vol #1 Issue#2 “Vagabond” Adventures In 4WD, Factory Magazine sent to customers, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, 30 pages of articles that would appeal to a broad band of potential “JEEP” customers and sprinkled with liberal doses of Jeep product ads and tie ins.”
Craig found this article in the August 1956 issue of Jeep News. A pair of signs only cost $7.00 at the time.

Here’s a bonus pic of the week from Craig. This crazy was of stoking a fire is from the August 1956 Issue of Willys News.
Craig from the FCConnection has offered to send a few non-FC pics our way from old editions of Jeep News and Willys News. After a minute of great deliberation and exhaustive thinking, I decided to call his weekly feature ‘Craig’s Pic of the Week’. Brilliant, yeah? Today’s pic comes from a 1964 issue of Jeep News.
In March of 2012, Mike was trying to track down the one pictured here. It sure looks like it could have been one of the trucks shown above.
