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 .
Maury shared this rare post-war comic that blends together the war-jeep and the peace-jeep.
Very cool Dave B-)
But I find it interesting that they depicted every jeep (war and post-war) with the 7-slot front grill… maybe an early bit of revisionist history? Or it helped tell the continuity story?
Thanks for sharing, Maury and posting, Dave 😀
Joe, what “they” depicted is one artist’s conception. I’ve learned that artist don’t necessarily pay attention to detail as you and I. Artist provide a concept. I don’t fully understand it, but I roll with it. (lol) I happened to be at a small art show yesterday (I met a guy with a ’61 Willys PU, by the way. Of course, we are friends for life.) I overheard one lady say to another that she really liked “that one”. The art piece looked like a mangled hunk of iron you’d find in the scrap heap. Sheesh, I’ll never fully understand artist, so I quit trying. Sometimes they defy logic, science, and in this case, historical accuracy. Joe, you really pay attention to detail because I would have never counted the grill bars.
Two things caught my eye. I like the functionality aspect, so I like the PTO powered saw scene. Then there’s that famous Picnic scene with the Jeep towing the camp trailer on page 13. Of course, I just learned here on eWillys that the “family use” marketing scene with the Jeep and trailer was utilized. I did notice that the background in different in the comic strip, than in the photo posted earlier.

The 7 slot grille is a result of those being cartoon versions of the actual AGRIJEEP photos fro Cesor farm. I actually forgot about this comic since I’ve had it so long. Nice find.
Awesome. Thanks for posting.
Steve E., In the early 1980’s I was flown out to Dutch Harbor (on the Aleution Chain) to help salvage the wreckage of a Lear 24 which crashed on takeoff. I found and kept a piece of the 3 layer plastic (?) windshield which had fractured and partially burned in the post crash fire. After returning to Anchorage I cleaned and polished this windshield piece before I entered it in a local art show. I received an honorable mention blue ribbon in the sculpture class!
