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 .
This “J” shaped jeep sign, likely from the mid 1940s, will be going up for auction at some point. The seller will be sending me more pics once the auction house takes them. Here’s an initial one.
I am a bidder please let me know.
Dave, have you ever seen one like this before? I have seen the tall vertical neon with the “J” on the bottom but never one like this where the “J” makes up the entire sign. Maybe this was a dealership commissioned sign rather than one offered by Willys?
Lindsay, I will add a comment and update this post when I get more info.
Matt, I thought I had seen this sign before, but looking thru my archives, I can’t find another example. Given the logo appeared in a variety of places in late 1945 – early 1946, I would *think* this sign was a part of the signage offered to dealers, but I suspect it was pricey? I am no expert on these big neon signs.
Dave I am also very interested in that sign. Please keep us posted. Do you know where the sign is located
Thanks
Jim
The seller said the sign was shipped to the auctioneer. I would imagine wherever the auction is being held? I should know more once the seller provides me with more info.
