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 .
I don’t have a specific date for this brochure, but it shows that Cutlas Manufacturing was selling a couple different types of wheel covers, including the “J” covers. It is marked Form 105, but is not dated. This was likely published between 1963-1965.
Maury shared this example of a factory photo with the “J” hubcaps. He says, to the best of his knowledge, this was a 1966 CJ-5 factory photo:
These wheel covers were so cool, both styles. The “J” covers were for sale in the J.C. Whitney catalog in the early 1960’s and were listed in both 15 & 16 inch, yet when I inquired about them in 16″ at Mide Motors Jeep dealership, I was told told that were only available in 15″. Shows you the lack of knowledge on the part of showroom salesmen. Just the same, at the age of 13 in 1962, I couldn’t afford to buy them anyway. My dad’s 1950 CJ3A went “Bare Wheel”.
Very interesting Mike. I didn’t notice they were available in both sizes. I *think* I’ve only seen them in 15″, but wasn’t paying too close of attention as I didn’t know to look for the different sizes.
i threw a set of ” J ” covers away about 10 years ago — i was convinced they were FAKE NEWS !! — never came stock on a jeep vehicle , so in the dump they went — the ” J ” cap just looked phony in my book …
