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: **SOLD** Was $120.
Did we ever determine the origin of these hubcaps? A similar use of the “J” logo was used on Cutlas hubcaps, but the hubcap was much more plain and the lettering was black, not red. A similar set was for sale in Florida back in 2017. I checked the Brian Chuchua and Conferr catalogs, but there’s sign of them in there.
Dave, from the lesser quality of the stamping and appearance, I believe these are Warshawsky’s (the forerunner of J. C. Whitney) out of Chicago. I have a set in the original cellophane wrappers labeled. And I have letters – one from a customer returning them to W not happy about the quality or something and the letterhead response from the company apologizing . They are for early 70s jeep products including CJ. I have mine as a novelty.
Barney,
That’s very helpful! The pics sure suggest that they aren’t the the most robust looking hubcaps!

I THREW SOME OF THESE AWAY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO — I WAS CONVINCED THEY WERE NOT A REAL CERTIFIED WILLYS OVERLAND JEEP PRODUCT
