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 .
UPDATE: No longer for sale.
Joe spotted this Crosley (don’t know the model) for sale in Winslow, Arizona. It looks like it’s restorable to me, but I don’t know a ton about them.
Tex up the street had a couple of these. Then there was Mr. Bishop back in the 1950’s on the corner. He brought one back to life and used Contact paper to give the side panels a woody look. The first guy I know that ever did that.
Years later, when I got my 1960 Willys wagon, I did the same thing, looked so cool for the time.
Yep, it was just “standin on the corner in Winslow Arizona” 😀
Actually, from the La Posada parking lot I could only see the back half and thought I was crossing the street to see a Willys Wagon. Cool guy, a Vietnam vet and member of the local car/cruising club owns it. I really enjoyed talking to him… wonder if this is still for sale, but I lost his number ;-(
It was the learn to drive car when I was a kid. Crosleys, Austin A10s and Bantams – every junk yard had a few and they were fun
Yes Joe, The similar look to the side panels always made me think, was there a connection with the Willys wagon design? Maybe something to do with Brooke Stevens?
I think the story goes…the Crosley wagon was the only other all steal body when the Willys wagon went into production. All the other manufactures of wagons used wood some what in the body which was hard to maintain over time. I am sure may of you know this but there maybe a few that don’t so what better time to bring this up but when there is a great picture of one. I wonder if they also got the body panels stamped by appliance manufactures as was said that Willys did.
To answer Ed’s thoughts, Powel Crosley, the manufacturer of Crosley automobiles, also manufactured radios and Crosley Shelvador Refrigerators. Those refrigerators were very popular in the 40s and 50s, so it would seem reasonable that an appliance manufacturer would have stamped out the panels. Crosley probably didn’t have to go outside to get the stampings done.
I saw this Crosley still on the lot at 400 E 2nd street. Would love to know if it is available for sale, as I am a Crosley!
Hi Deb. Unfortunately, neither Joe nor I don’t know any more about it. Maybe call the La Posada hotel and ask if they know who owns it???
Good luck!

Is my Crowley and is no longer for sale. Great to see the interest in the little car. Engine has been in my family for more than 55 years. Runs and drives well. Is a 1948 and the woody wagons had stick on decals simulated wood on the steel body. Thanks again for your interest. Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the update! It sure is a neat vehicle.
