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 “America’s Most Versatile Farm Tool” newspaper-like advertising piece (though printed on a heavier weight material than newsprint) is marked 484A250, which may mean it was published in April of 1948.
Dave,
The photos of the hydraulic lift are of the early Love model. You can tell by the “J” attachment link between the lift arm and the implement arm. It is visible on the plow photo. I would date those photos from 1946. Doesn’t mean the brochure was printed earlier, because we know Willys often used stock photos of older models. In 1948, I would have expected to see a Newgren lift.
Barry,
I always thought it was an earlier brochure, which is why I was surprised when I saw the form number. And, most of the pics, as you note, are early ones. My date interpretation could definitely be off on this one.
Perhaps the only ‘later’ item is the semi-script of “4 Wheel Drive“, which I have haven’t found earlier than August of 1947 (discussed here about half-way down: http://www.ewillys.com/2019/12/25/logos-badges-between-1941-1963)
