The Ottawa Citizen published an article in March of 1955 about a jeep wrecked by a train. I think we can all agree that the moral of this story is to avoid trains when driving a jeep.

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 .

I find the small article in the lower left to be interesting given it pertains to a city just west of me. E.P. Taylor owned Windfield Farms in north Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. This farm produced alot of great race horses in it’s day, one of them being Northern Dancer. Well known farm for champion race horses, sadly it’s all just a memory for locals now, it’s all being torn down and ripped up and houses are being built on it, very sad. Hopefully the area on the farm where Northern Dancer is buried remains untouched.
Thank you David for running this newspaper article!
Brian,
I’m glad you enjoyed that. I actually meant to delete that extra story, but forgot 🙂
