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 is an odd brochure. It’s titled, “Let’s Keep Them Running”. The front page has some of the poorer illustrated trucks and wagons. All the vehicles look a little off in terms of size and styling.

“Original salesman’s part color catalog , 8.5 x 11 , 12 pages , 3 file holes at edge , shows and describes the parts dept. and including merchandising information with photos .”
I’ve seen some of these “Funky cartoon style” drawings now & then, The Sunshine Makers, a 1935 animated film, re-released by Borden’s Milk Co. in 1940, featured Divco milk trucks in this style of cartooning. I think these Willys vehicle illustrations are a deliberate attempt to copy that style.

Im not sure this is really that unusual in OEM marketing. If you look at the marketing brochures of most manufacturer’s new vehicles back when our Willys were new, the illustrations are out of proportion. The people are almost always smaller than real life, the vehicles larger, longer hoods, taller tires, etc. If people were as they are illustrated, we could put four adults comfortably in each of our bench seats.
