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 .
Given the CJ-5 on the sign, it is safe to say that this isn’t earlier than 1955.

I found this matchbook cover on eBay.
I found this information inside a booklet produced by the Willys Export Corporation (circa 1957). I’ll share the rest of the book when I have time, but I really bought (from Canada off of eBay) the booklet for the Jeep Cargo Personnel Carrier info.
These are a collection of early sprayer brochures from a 1948 Willys Overland Equipment Book. You can compare these to that jeep from Billings with the sprayer I posted a couple days ago. Thanks to John for allowing me to share these.
1. Crafton combination sprayer
2. Newgren Row Crop and Field Sprayer
This multi-page brochure was published in January of 1956.
“Here I have a very nice 10-Page Pamphlet / brochure by Dana Corporation / Spicer / Thornton. This is in Excellent condition with some writing in pencil on the cover.”

Here’s an interesting flyer for the DJ-3A Mail Jeep Circa 1955.
“Here I have a Single Sheet Flier for the Willys Jeep mail Dispatcher from 1955. This has some wear and a small tear on the bottom (See Scans) but still displays Very nicely. Will ship in a protective Sleeve with backing board.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This would be perfect for someone with an original Hamilton.
“Vintage dealer print ad, 1950’S, HAMILTON PEDAL CAR ORIGINAL AD measures approx 8”x 10-3/4”, good to nice condition suitable for framing,”
This is another brochure that doesn’t pop up for sale too often.
“Here is an Original 1962 Jeep 4×4 Brochure. Size is 8.5″ x 5.5″ folded and opens to 17″ x 10.5″ to show the views in the listing. Condition is Very Good as shown.”

UPDATE: Shelly’s got one of these tool kits for sale on Etsy.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/455921888/jeep-knife-and-tool-kit-with-vinyl-case?ref=shop_home_feat_4
“Jeep Knife and Tool Kit with Vinyl Case, Mid Century Jeep Memorabilia, Props not included.
What a find, an intact kit with knife, bottle opener, screwdriver and more, in a vinyl intact case.
This one for Jeep, is a wonderful piece of history for Jeep.
Used to promote the brand and appeal to the outdoor ruggedness Jeep owners lived for.
The adventures in a Jeep, bring together a camp of people, loving the life in a Jeep.
Here is a piece of that world.
Not perfect but in very good vintage condition.
A few wear marks. There is a piece of leather look tape on one of the tools.
I will leave that to you to remove if wanted.
Snap works, in good shape, no rust on snap or tools.
Knife folds in and out in good working order. The handle appears to be mother of pearl.
Imperial made many knives for kits like this for camping, advertisement, promotions, scouting.”
This brochure isn’t one I’ve seen often.
“Brochure. Size is 8.5″ x 5.5″ folded and opens to a nice large 17″ x 11″ to show the views in the listing and more on the back. Condition is Excellent.”
I purchased this off of eBay. It is a very helpful Ramsey product brochure that shows the incredible variety of winches, PTOs, reducers, and transmission produced by Ramsey in the late 1960s. I had no idea they manufactured so many. Note on the third page that the rare PTO rear gearbox 1B is shown.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. This brochure suggests it had a ventilated windshield option.
“Here I have an excellent condition

This is in excellent Condition. There are 26 interior pages plus the covers.”
Over the past couple of weeks falling eBay prices has allowed me to get some really neat content. So, the month of August should be a good one for new features.
Here’s the first one. I did not know that Warn produced a portable Warn winch. Anyone ever run across one of these? It appeared as part of a 1970 Warn Advertisement.
On the side of the CJ-3A shown in this Mott mower brochure was printed “Akron” and “Canton”. I can’t make out the third word.
Mostly marketed to tractors, as you can see on the brochure, the Danseur blade could also be used behind a jeep.
I’ve not run across this Dispatcher brochure. It includes a nice side shot of the convertible top.
“original Non Color Sheet , 8.5 x 11 , 3 File Holes At Left Edge , Printed Both Sides , Dispatcher .”

This promotional jeep is similar in size to a brass one discussed here. It could have been related to the Hongkong gold jeep display shared here: http://cj3b.info/Siblings/SurreyGold.html
