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: I thought the one had sold, but it’s back on eBay, with a price drop down to $33.49 (Was $49.99).
(02/29/2020) Chris spotted this odd Willys Calendar. It’s got an imprint of a horse head on it, but we didn’t understand why that might be. It appears these were produced for the Ohio Willys Sales Company, of Cleveland, Ohio.

From an era of class! Quality work and stitching, Name-embossed, just like the fedoras of the day. So this just wasn’t a freebee, but perhaps recognition to a salesman for the distributorship. Makes you wonder the story of G. M. Irvin. My only theory for the horse head is that the company making them offered a limited choice of what appeared on the front and the business chose the horse. This is a lot smaller than the photos hint at. Larger versions were offered as glove box wallets after the War. I still have my dad’s and it’s one of my favorite possessions.. The imagined story is a valuable as this nice piece.
Barney,
Thanks for the insights into this. Given the name imprinted on the interior cover page, I’d wondered if this was something more special than just a marketing gimmick.

You just have to make something come to life before you so as to appreciate it fully. Better than just seeing a piece of someone sold on ebay.
