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.
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 .
Glenn forwarded this article from 1956 and featured in “Willys News”.
At an average of 85 MPG, it beats most economy cars today 😉
I wonder why they print it a ‘Jeep’. They not only did it once but several times in the article. Maybe its a generalization but the why not ‘Caddies’? I have seen this before in print.
Also has anyone ever noticed that in the news, traffic reports, etc that if a Jeep of any flavor is involved, they always seem to mention the name “Jeep”? They don’t name call the others lke Honda, Toyota, etc., they usually just say “vehicle”. Kind of neat.
Willys Motors did that in all their publications. I think they wanted to emphasize the ‘Jeep’ copy right that was so hard fought for. I believe that later it was replaced with the trademark logo.
In fact, Willys did that far before they received trademark rights for name “Jeep”. WO was aggressively connecting the name Willys and Jeep throughout the WWII to the point that, in my opinion, the word jeep became a noun, which should have blocked Willys from being able to trademark the term. In the appendix to my book I explore the confusion between what is a willys vehicle and a jeep vehicle.
The picture reminds me of what my CJ-5 feels like when me and the wife have the 2 dogs and our gear loaded up for an outing LOL !!!
