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 .

This print is one of my favorites. They were originally from a TRW calendar. I have one framed that I paid a lot of money for. I bought it at a garage sale along with 8 boxes of ’48 Jeepster parts, and I have another print on a board I picked up at a swap meet.
This scene is what a Willys represents to me, whether it’s 2WD or 4WD.

The Jeepster was chosen to be a Milestone vehicle back in the 1970s and this was the depiction the Milestone Society used. It probably did go on a TRW calendar in later years. The was a caption that went with the original print.
Below is exactly what the caption says on my calendar page, punctuated and capitalized exactly the same. The copyright in small print says: The Milestone Cars (No. 11) TRW Inc. 1977
It would be a novelty to have an original print.
The painting is signed by J. B. Deneen. I just learned that the late James B. Deneed drew WWI and WWI aircraft in action, cars, and trains. He also drew Hollywood promotions. And in 1968, he drew the cover illustration for the Minnesota Twin’s yearbook. His illustrations, particularly those involving transportation, exuded power and energy. Planes in motion, some going down in flames. Trains trailing smoke and steam. There is peace and freedom in his Jeepster painting.
The calendar caption:
“Jack-of-all-trades” is probably the most apt description for the Willys-Overland Jeepsters. Willys called them sports cars, which some auto enthusiasts might consider an exaggeration. They were big, tough and rugged vehicles, perhaps more at home plodding over fields and up dusty country roads than they were on conventional highways. The 1948 version shown here was powered by an L-Head, 4-cylinder engine that chugged out 63 hp. This particular model was elected a Milestone car for its Styling, Performance and Innovation.
