I ran across this magazine on eBay. Given the cover, I couldn’t resist buying it, though there was no other jeep pics or illustrations within it.

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 .

Dave, it is amazing how often the Jeep was represented in print during the war and how it was identified with the GI and war effort. We have stationary sold in base stores during the war that have the Jeep front and center. One set was titled “Jeep Notes”
the first JEEP was made by Minneapolis Moline — we all know WO ripped them off — in fact , I know where a MM is parked , abandoned …
Barney,
I have definitely been fascinated with the use of the jeep in illustrations throughout WWII and later. I have some WWII stationary, but I don’t know where it was sold. It is getting more difficult to find illustrations that we haven’t seen anymore, so spotting this one was great.
Unfortunately, as I’m sure you are aware, the availability of these and other unique vintage jeep items (Sales Builders, Kaiser Jeep News, Jeep News, Globetrotter magazines to name a few) on eBay seems a rarity these days. So, sadly, unearthing some of this vintage stuff is getting more difficult.
