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 .

Steve spotted this great advertising piece! Looks to be 29″ wide and just about that much tall.

“THE ULTIMATE JEEP TOY COLLECTORS FIND. THIS TOY I AM TOLD WAS MADE FOR THE WILLYS OVERLAND EXECUTIVES WHEN THEY RETIRED. OR THE OTHER STORY IS THEY WERE MADE FOR DEALERSHIP PROMOS, EITHER WAY THEY ARE VERY RARE AND SCARCE. IT IS MADE OF A HEAVY CAST METAL , IS 6″ LONG 2.5″ WIDE AND 3.5″ TALL. VERY COOL AND VERY CLEAN. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS IT IS ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE WITH THE WHITE SURRY FRINGE VERY CLEAN AND NICE. NOW THE DOWNSIDE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINOR PAINT CHIPS, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUMPER IS BROKEN OFF (THIS IS QUITE TYPICAL ON THESE)AND ONE OF THE PLASTIC STRAPS IS LOOSE FROM THE TOP AND MAY COME OFF IN SHIPPING (BE FOR WARNED).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for auction.
Josh spotted this auction. It takes place March 22-24, 2013. This is the Jade Tint Green/Glacier White color scheme. It is too bad the engine doesn’t look in better shape.
Dave forwarded this beautiful version of Ms. Autolite perched on a Surrey.
Dave shared this image of a Pepsi Surrey. This is a little clearer than a similar picture shown on the CJ-3B page.

Here’s a neat friction Surrey Jeep.
“Vintage Pink Surrey Willies Overland Jeep CJ Wrangler Scale Metal Friction Model!
Please view the images for condition.
Here we have an awesome tin friction car modeled after some old Jeep, not sure of the exact model. Friction motor was locking up at first but appears fine now and seems to work alright. Looks like there may have been a top over the passenger compartment at one time as there are six of the typical tin holes for extra parts to fit into on the rear of the jeep and the windshield frame. Overall great condition, might need some cleaning in the tight areas and does show some minimal wear. No maker mark or country of origin stamp on this one. Totally excellent jeep!!”

Here are a couple different postcards of a DJ-3A Surrey towing some kind of visitor car at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI. The Bavarian Inn is still there. I wonder what happened to the jeep?

1) Colin shared this video clip. In the 1950s Post Cereal partnered with Kaiser Willys to giveaway a CJ-3B as demonstrated by this video. All customer had to do was write down on a piece of paper their favorite Kellogg’s cereals.

2) (from an earlier post) In this 1960’s Kelloggs All Bran Contest, Kellogg’s partnered with Kaiser Willys to giveaway a CJ-5 or DJ-3A Surrey, plus an Aruba vacation. 1,500 model Surreys (Tonkas maybe?) were given away, too. The box below was sold on eBay in August of 2012.
