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 article was published in the May 20, 1945, issue of the Spokesman Review. One fact that surprised me is that by 1945 only 2% of world’s farms were mechanized.
I am sold. I think I can use a couple of Jeeps. Oh, that’s right I have a couple of Jeeps on my property. I just can’t drive them. Somebody I know has the keys!
Dave, the article says less than 2% of the world’s farms are mechanized, not just USA farms. Still, I think the percentage of mechanized 1945 farms in the US may not be very high due to wartime civilian tractor production being curtailed. But then again they could have been limping along with old prewar farm equipment so technically they’s be “mechanized”.
Steve: Indeed I was incorrect and appreciate the correction. Our hands have been full around here with some rough days and nights with my mother-in-law, so my focus is less than 100% right now. As of this morning she’s back in the hospital and, if she doesn’t improve, won’t be returning home.
Mom: Key to Patterson is in the garage on the shelf near the light switch by all the nuts and bolts. But, I don’t think your hip or knee will enjoy the tight squeeze into Patterson’s driver seat :-).
