Yes, you read that correctly. A couple days ago the Westchester firehouse caught fire. Lost in the fire was their 1943 jeep 🙁

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 .

What a sad loss, not only the jeep but all the historical items.
Sad. Even a fire dept is not immune to fire.
Isn’t that like robbing a police station? (lol)
Sorry to hear about all the equipment loss. Hopefully, some of the GPW or MB can be salvaged.

Perhaps it is the irony of the event that causes it to stick in my mind, but it seems like too many fire stations succumb to fire.
I grew up in/on a Fire Station (houses on site) and my mother set light to the kitchen as in up in flames and when they (my father) got there with the equipment required it did not work……….irony indeed or is that just plain old “Murphy”.
