Download The Willys Story

You may remember that a few months ago a document called The Willys Story went up for sale on eBay. Well, fortunately for all of us, that document sold to an eWillys reader who asked if I would make a high-resolution version available to anyone who wants it. Given the document was a pricey purchase, it’s a very generous offer. So, a big thank you is in order for that anonymous benefactor!

The document is 85 pages and purports to show all the different aspect of the Willys-Overland Company from 1940 to 1954. You’ll see that Willys had their hands into a variety of things, not just jeeps.

I’ve uploaded the file to my google drive, so downloading it should be a snap. It is just under 400MB, so it’s not a small PDF file.

DOWNLOAD HERE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1An2t8AWJccU9UcEFkfdFizaaVFUvqiZl/view?usp=sharing

(I have never used by google drive space. My test of the download worked. But, the internet sometimes works in mysterious ways, so if you have problems, please let me know!)

=============================

Below are some low res pictures of some of the jeep-related images:

This is an interesting strategy by MD Juan. I guess I need to fly to the Philippines and try it!

md-juan-ejeep-brochure

“The PhUV or Philippine Utility Vehicle Inc., the pioneer manufacturer and assembler of electric vehicles in the country, has joined forces with MD Juan Enterprises, the pioneer and leading Jeep® restoration parts manufacturer and exporter, in promoting an environment-friendly Electric Jeep. The result is a perfect union of “the past and the future” concepts, the classic and the modern, merging both craftsmanships to create this integrated Electric Jeep prototype.

Outside, all the body parts of a classic military Jeep® of World War II fame such as the body tub, hood, fenders, grille, windshield, seat frames, bumpers, canvass top and wheels are supplied by MD Juan. Pop the hood and before you is the powertrain of the future, the electric vehicle technology that includes an electric motor, controller, rechargeable batteries, charger and vehicle control unit from PhUV. This prototype will be exhibited in local vehicle display events only in the Philippines.”

Craig spotted this M-38A1 that’s been repowered with a Kubota diesel engine.

“1952 Willys M38A1 was brought back to life in 2015 after a two year restoration and modification was completed. Every nut and bolt was removed, inspected, replaced if damaged and reassembled to ensure this restoration did not leave any areas of the Jeep untouched.

Tim filed this short report on February 26th, which is Johnny Cash’s birthday.

“Cathy and I made a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, and spent a few days there listening to good music, eating hot chicken and of course looking out for jeeps. In the Johnny Cash museum I found this CJ-5 on the cover of the “Johnny Cash Children’s Album” and…..Today is Johnny Cash’s birthday !”

“Up for auction are a used Burns aluminum 2 X 1 barrel carburetor intake manifold along with the cast iron exhaust manifold and two Carter YF carburetor cores for a Willys Jeep four cylinder 134cid L-head engine. Although there seems to be a plethora of accessories for vintage Willys Jeeps there exists very few horsepower enhancements for the early Jeep flat head four cylinder motors. A few after market manufacturers in the 1950’s such as Hickey Enterprises developed a high compression cylinder head and Burns, who had been manufacturing aluminum 2X1 intake manifolds for Model A and Model B Ford banger motors, developed and intake manifold for the Willys Jeep four cylinder L-head engine .
