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 brochure from March of 1961 discusses the “Complete Line” of Jeeps, but only shows five on the fold out section. This is Form No. DM61-03.
I noticed the TV series mentions at the bottom of the page.
Maverick of course is a well known western starting James Garner (and Jack Kelly and occasionally a then unknown, Roger Moore).
So, any Jeeps seen would have been only in cimmercials.
Hong Kong started Rod Taylor (The Birds, Bearcats! and a bunch of stuff ranging from John Wayne to Doris Day films) and was set in modern Hong Kong so perhaps they used Jeeps in that series. I have seen a publicity photo of Taylor at home with his cars, one was a Jeep, so perhaps that was a tie-in or gift from his sponsor.
John,
Yes, good points. You’ll probably find this post about the Hong Kong series interesting: https://cj3b.info/Siblings/SurreyGold.html
