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 snagged this on eBay a few days ago and have updated the previous images I had posted. The brochure is Form No. 4WDT-CM1–215M–12-49.
Here is the first page of the brochure:

This shows the entire center area:
Here is the back of the brochure:
This is the unfolded back-side:
december 1949 means these trucks were the early 1950 models — notice the 0-4 emblem on the grille ? — that designated a 4 cylinder engine — i put one on my 48 truck though its not correct for that year — since all willys jeep trucks were 4 cylinders till 1954 , why did they put the 0-4 emblem on the trucks , there was no option for a 6 cylinder engine ? — the early 1950 willys wagons and maybe the jeepsters and sedan deliverys had the 0-4 emblem or a 0-6 , if they had a 148 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine . the early 1950 station sedans all had the stainless steel t-bar standard on the grille , no 0-6 . i have seen early 1950 jeepsters with no trim or emblems at all , a cost cutting measure because they were not selling .
my willys truck is a ford ? — i was looking at the bubbles forming in my 1948 willys truck safety glass and noticed the LOF glass emblems in the corners — LIBBEY OWENS FORD company — it was a toledo , ohio company — i always thought the ford part meant FORD MOTOR COMPANY ? — WRONG ! — The company was formed in 1930 by the merger of Libbey-Owens’ sheet-glass operation with the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company, both located in Toledo — In 1928, Libbey-Owens was the first company to produce automotive laminated safety glass and won a contract to supply the Ford Motor Company with windshields for the Model A. Libbey-Owens merged with the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company in 1930 to form Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company — the LOF emblem on the glass can be used to date your willys vehicle , theres a date at the bottom saying when the glass was made — my 1948 truck has a 7-48 stamp on one piece of windshield glass , showing that it was a late 1948 production vehicle — my other pieces of LOF glass have dates earlier and later .
