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 .
As I was packing, I pulled this issue of Motor Trend aside. When I leafed through it, I realized there was a jeep-related article I missed. So, here the “Unique Cars for Sportsmen” by Jim Earp. All the vehicles herein are interesting. The first page has a pic at the bottom of Vic Hickey’s famous jeep.
Great cover artwork. That would make a great poster if you do anymore prints.
Patrick,
It is a neat image. Now that you comment on it, I forgot to see who illustrated it.
As for posters, I doubt I’ll be making any more. I thought there would be more interest in my last round of posters, but there wasn’t any interest (sold zero). So, I’ll either give them away and/or use them for wrapping paper.
Thanks,
– Dave
I must have missed the last round. Post them again.
Patrick,

When I first looked at this I noticed the dual rear wheels right away, now I see duals on the front also. Artistic license ? curious
Clem,
I suspect the artist was inspired by Vic Hickey’s jeep, which was featured in multiple articles during 1952, a year earlier than this Motor Trend article. http://www.ewillys.com/2020/07/24/1952-vic-hickey-jeep-article-in-hot-rod-magazine/ … so, yes, it could be argued that it was artistic license, but it was also based on a real vehicle.
