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 .

Happy Thanks Giving, Dave. Appreciate you working overtime on turkey day. Hope you got paid time and a half. LOL.
Notice the hubcaps on this Jeepster convertible, they were a extra cost option very similar to, or may be even being the same hubcap that was also an option on 1967-67 Ford Galaxies and F-100 pickups with the extra trim option.
This particular print add was not as widely circulated as most, limited to the Thanksgiving holiday for one year, Life & Look Magazine, a few smaller black & white newspaper versions, mostly dealer adds. Always one of my favorites.
Happy Thanksgiving Dave!
Mike: Great info, but how in the world did you remember all that!
Thanks Chuck and Chris!
Happy Thanksgiving Dave and Ann and to all our eWillys friends! Hope your day is great and the food delicious!
Where do I get a color print of that ad? Love it. Thanks for posting it.
Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving with those closest to you. Seems to become more difficult with each passing year as we age. But at the same time, I think we realize to a greater extent, how valuable our days with family and friends truly are.
Dave…….Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family. Hope you and all the ewillys folks are able to enjoy great food……great family……and maybe a ride in the woods after some turkey !!
Its nice to take a Thanksgiving break in between prepping the homemade stuffing/dressing and sliding the turkey into the bag for the next 3hrs. in the oven. Time for another coffee before the doorbell rings.
NICE JEEPSTER AND BABES
Hi Dave,
I agree with your sentiments!
According to this link https://www.flickr.com/photos/127508225@N05/41033420482, it was from a 1967 ad. I haven’t documented a date just yet.

LOL, Reminds me of my favorite South Park episode – the thanksgiving Episode where the turkeys set the village on fire. In this case, the faux knock off spinners can be used like the real ones on the Roman gladiator wagons to decapitate a few turkeys while trying to escape their encirclement. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone !

The best turkey I ever et was the one I raised. 35# Tom that barely fit in oven.
Dave, My mind is a memory vault for trivial facts that few people care about. All day long, I will have memories from the past, 60 plus years just screaming to be verbalized. Willys Jeeps are a big part of my life. Having this mindset, I honestly don’t know if I’ve been blessed or cursed. If there was a market for memories, I’d be a rich man. Oh no, I just triggered a memory of Fiddler on the Roof with Zero Mostel, the song is now playing in my mind. An Idiot savant kind of thing I guess.
