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 .
We’ve seen a poorer quality version of this photo. Here’s a better scan of the June 1955 photo from Willys News with the caption in tact. Though the caption doesn’t mention the movie name, it probably refers to the movie released in 1956 called the Proud and Profane.
Deborah Kerr (I think) on the left and Thelma Ritter on the right. Note the lack of a rear floating hub, which suggests the jeep in the background wasn’t a MB or GPW. Brett noted it’s probably a M-38.
I would have to say in the second picture, that is a M38, given the brackets on they tub, square tube windshield and the rear hub.
I would have to agree!
I don’t know if anybody noticed this, but look at the first picture. Notice the nose of that CJ5 is a slightly darker color than the rest of the body. (as if re-painted) No big deal, just like to point these things out.
Mike, I agree. There seems to be a difference. Different paints would explain it.
