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 December 1955 Willys News article shows a jeep exiting a fireplace in a Florida Jeep dealership. It looks too big for Santa to bring down the chimney, but a flat fender would have fit 🙂
Just as a reminder,
Ann, my kids, and I will be spending the week in the Seattle area. I do have some updates scheduled to appear, but they will be limited. The kids leave on the 26th and Ann and I will be back in Pasco by the 27th, so I imagine normal updates will begin at least by Dec. 28th, if not earlier.
Lawrence and his dogs once again dressed up for the holidays. Thanks for the photos!
Blaine forwarded this DJ-5 Christmas jeep from Sandy, Oregon.
I bet this is one of the earliest Santa-in-a-jeep photos.
“1941- Santa Clause uses jeep to bring presents to troops at the Quartermaster Replacement Center at Camp Lee, Virginia.”

Jim’s M-38 looks ready for a Christmas parade.
Buz spotted this wagon with some Christmas spirit in Blowing Rock, NC last week.
This photo appeared on the G503 Facebook page. It was taken in San Antonio, possibly at Ripleys Believe It or Not.
This appears to be some kind of Christmas photo with the jeep acting as the reindeer for a sleigh prop in the back. No information is included with the photo.

One more Santa post. Jalopnik posted this rendition of Santa driving a ‘jeep’ that was painted by Australian James Higgins Quirk in the 1950s. The original image is part of a digital collection at the Museum Victoria.
Here’s a heart warming story of a boy, a girl, a jeep and a Merry Christmas!
Mike writes, I wanted to take the time to share with you my Christmas present from my girlfriend. She arranged to have a local artist put together a liquor/wine bar made from the back end of a 49′ Willys. Don’t worry, the jeep was beyond repair. This bar is catered towards my specific hobbies such as my 46′ Willys, my love for Scotch, plus a few other things. I think she’s a keeper!!! Both my girlfriend and the bar!
Santa got a little help from an M-151 this year. Joe tells me it was a cold drive, but taking Santa for a ride and being last in the parade was fun!
That’s a pile of presents!
Cam forwarded this Christmas cover from the December 1943 issue of Army Motors to get us in the right mood.
Here’s Jim’s 1948 CJ-2A all decorated for Christmas.
To celebrate the holiday season, the director of the monuments foundation in the town of Armenia, Colombia, has decorated 15 jeeps with neon colors. The initiative is called the Jeep Tour and is part of the city’s effort to reinforce the cultural importance of jeeps, yipao and coffee to tourists.
Here’s the full article in Spanish: http://www.caracol.com.co/noticias/regionales/en-jeep-willys-los-turistas-en-armenia-podran-apreciar-los-alumbrados/20141207/nota/2540843.aspx

Searching for vintage Valentine Cards on eBay, I stumbled across this one that cracked me up. It’s not a jeep, but it seems appropriate for my wife (a former weapons specialist). It’s probably a better one than the card I got her (which I kind of got myself, since it will go back into my folders . . .lol . . . don’t worry, I’ll make it up to her).
This fun card was spotted on Etsy, but is no longer available for sale.
It’s a cute card.
“THIS FUN VINTAGE VALENTINE CARD HAS A WWII ARMY SOLDIER GIVING HIS GIRLFRIEND A RIDE IN HIS JEEP.
THIS IS PRINTED ON THE FRONT: “JEEPERS BUT I’D LIKE YOU FOR MY VALENTINE”.
THE CARD MEASURES 5″ HIGH AND 7-1/2″ WIDE. IT IS DATED 1944 ON THE BACK.
IT IS SIGNED IN PENCIL ON THE BACK. THERE IS NO TAPE OR SCRAPBOOK RESIDUE ON THE BACK OF THE CARD.”
I just spotted this vintage card, so I got it for Ann. Or maybe, I’ll give it to her, so she can give it to me? Somehow, I’ll make sure she is happy and I get the card!
