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 article appeared in the Miami News on October 09, 1956. That seemed a late date for an “introductory” announcement. The article highlighted the low operating cost, the 30,000 mile maintenance guarantee, the four body styles, and the wide range of duties the new jeep could perform.
Within the context of the news article, it mentions the many possible businesses that could benefit from the DJ3A Dispatcher used for deliveries. I can see how the Dispatcher with the sliding doors would be a perfect, efficient vehicle for newspaper delivery. Doors out of the way gives the driver a clear shot to fling a newspaper up to the customers door.
Back in the 80’s, I lost the door on my 1962 Chevy when it rolled down the street, caught up with it and threw the door in the back seat. I think I would have made a good salesman for a Willys dealership in the 50’s & 60’s, back then, it was considered a profession. it took skill and a command of the language. In today’s world, all you need to be is a shyster.
