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 is an auction that includes a variety of military items owned by former Ohio State Rep Richard Rench.

Here’s a searchlight
I like the GE logo on the back of the searchlight. Guess it had a General Electric light bulb in it.
I thought the searchlight was really cool. Is it WW2 era?
It looks like a 1941-1944 GE 60″ searchlite with a 16.5 KW Generator. You still find a few in use.
M100 trailer
It takes far more than a light bulb to operate one of those search lights. They are a carbon arc light and I’m far from a expert on them but it works similar to an arc welder to produce the light.
Just the thing to discourage tailgaters !
Guess I need to work on a ‘know you trailer’ app. Thanks Josh.
I was kidding about a big GE light bulb in the searchlight. If you’re my age, you remember when GE made a lot of electrical appliances. But in my younger days I changed a number of GE-marked light bulbs around the house so that’s I remember about that company the most, and I’m supposing others do too.
