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 Willys Audio-Visual Unit brochure is undated and lacks a form number. I’d guess this was published circa 1956.
Interesting Vehicle brochure, states that it comes fully equipped with audio visual equipment. The brochure is very detailed in it’s description, but lacking detail in brand names and technical information of supplied audio visual equipment. I would think this would be very important to someone looking to purchase the Willys Audio-Visual Unit. Being that it came equipped, Willys must of had a supply arrangement with a A-V manufacturer, so using a brand name in advertising would be a big plus for sales. Sometimes, I just don’t understand the thinking behind the Willys Kaiser advertising dept.
Mike … agreed on both accounts.
Mike,
Don’t know if you saw this http://www.ewillys.com/2020/05/13/1961-jeep-audiovisual-unit-demonstration-video/ Chris works at Indiana University and I am retired from there. We are researching the making of the movie, but have been slowed by the university resources being shut down at the moment. This brochure has more equipment detail http://www.ewillys.com/2016/03/11/1950s-audio-visual-wagon-brochure-on-ebay/
I have a buddy who is helping me with the equipment research. I’m looking for info on who did the body modifications.
Barry, Yes, this brochure has a lot of vital information as to audio visual equipment specifications and recognizable brand name manufacturers. This must have been early 1960’s with the 230 overhead cam engine, that surprised me. I also am curious about the body modifications please post when you find more information. Thank you, I appreciate it, made my day.
