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 December 1955 Willys News article described the purchase of forty CJ-5s by the Circus Ice Cream Company of Houston, Texas. Do those hub caps look unusual?
Are they actually hubcaps or just the wheels painted in a pattern? I think that’s it, forms a an pattern as the Jeep moves.
They must have been planning on selling a lot of those nickel ice creams to cover the costs of a fleet of Jeeps like that.
Even amortizing over a few years that is still a hefty investment for a company in 1955.
What did a CJ5 cost then? About 2K? and figure another couple of hundred to fit an icebox.
Gas, and pay for the ice cream men meant selling a lot of push ups and rockets!
I hope that worked out for them, I’d love to have seen a Jeep in the summer coming around the neighborhood with the ice cream man.
