About Zippo

The Zippo Car

Explore Zippo culture through its promotional vehicles.

01 The vehicle story

Zippo transformed a 1947 Chrysler Saratoga into its original promotional car. After that vehicle disappeared, a 1947 New Yorker was acquired in 1996 and rebuilt for the car’s 1998 return. The Zippo/Case Museum is its home between appearances.

02 Product design on the road

The vehicle turns the lighter silhouette into a large, recognizable display. It is part of the brand’s culture and events; its decoration and scale do not describe the specifications of a retail lighter.

Read the brand history and Zippo/Case Museum guide for more context. Vehicles may travel to events. Before visiting the US museum, confirm current opening and display information directly; Taiwan support does not book museum visits or vehicle appearances.
