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 didn’t realize the Buster Keaton had done multiple commercials for Jeep under the brand “Lessons In Living”. Here are three that I found:
1 At the end of this commercial Jeep highlights the Hong Kong and Maverick TV series:
2. This is the most common version I’ve seen on line:
3. You can depend on a service station jeep owner:
4. He also did a Ford Econoline Commercial
5. And Alka Seltzer Commercials (3 shown on this video):
Great videos Dave! Thanks for sharing… i think I liked the Econoline ones the best :-).
Interesting to note that Buster Keaton didn’t seem to have a exclusive deal to promote just one name brand vehicle or product. Advertising has dramatically changed over the decades, a typical commercial, one minute long, that told a story, as opposed to today’s advertising that bombards the viewer with split second images that leave you guessing as to the product being advertised.
When these commercials were filmed in the 1960’s, Buster Keaton, having been a silent film star, was already at the end of his career, was still able to get work using a “Silent film” format to sell the product he was promoting, very clever advertising.
Fun to watch!
Good to share among all of us Jeepers!
