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 .
I missed out on this rare Australian Jeep Truck brochure (totally spaced the auction). I can see no date or form number on any pages. My guess is that this was published in 1957 or 58.
The description from th auction reads, in part:
“WILLYS 4WD 6 CYL. ALL-PURPOSE MODEL 6-226
GOOD CONDITION OVERALL. CLEAN,GOOD COLOR AND GRAPHICS. SLIGHT WEAR FROM AGE AND STORAGE.
WILLYS MOTORS AUSTRALIA PTY. LIMITED
4 PAGE FOLDOUT
BROCHURE CONTAINS SPECIFICATIONS, DIFFERENT BODY STYLES, OPTIONS, ETC.”
Hi David
Have same brochure and no, there is no date or form no. on mine either although the brochure collector whom I got it off of had written ‘1960?’ so, as a guess, 1957 or 1958 seems to fit in.
Regards
Graham
Hi Graham,
Than ks for that info. The eBay scans weren’t the best. I was going to try to bid on the brochure, but life got in the way .. oh well!
The reason I thought it was a 58 was the ambulance pictured on one of the pages. Willys Motors stopped highlighting that vehicle in ’57 (I think). I’m not sure if Willys Export was pushing the model in Australia later than that.
Also, the trucks are shown as two-pane windscreens rather than one pane. I jumped to the conclusion that this happened internationally as well in 1960, but I realized I don’t actually know that for a fact.
Thanks
– Dave
