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 .
Joe Drew outfitted a series of wagon modifications that are highlighted in this brochure. I tried to learn more about Joe Drew, but didn’t have any luck. This is form number: 4x463SW-M2-50M-8-48. It is a tri-fold brochure that also folds out to create a single large image.
This is the page when the tri-fold portion is fully opened.
This is the full center page:

I wonder if “Joe Drew” was just a creation of the Willys advertising dept? Notice the quotation marks in “Joe Drew”. Decades old way of referencing fictional characters. Could explain why no information was found.
Mike … I hadn’t thought of that.
The ‘Jeep’ badge is pictured here in ’48. They put brass ones on the ’50 models, exclusively. Too “expensive” to produce I reckon.
Bingo, glad you brought that up. I need to investigate this as I thought it seemed early for that particular badge…
Interesting rims and tires in the first photo
