Zip Car

The Zippo Car, a Chrysler Saratoga, was custom built in 1947 at a cost of $25K.  Sporting two larger-than-life Zippo lighters with neon flames, the car was in parades and special events across the US during 1948 and 1949

Sometime during the 1960’s, the car was left at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area dealership for reconstruction and was never seen again.  Attempts to recover the car in the early 1970’s were unsuccessful, as the dealership had since gone out of business

In celebration of the car’s 50th anniversary in 1998, Zippo commissioned a replica!!!

HISTORY LESSONSZ –

One evening after a long day of designing a course in Palm Springs during the 1960s, Arnold Palmer stepped up to a bar and asked the bartender for a mixture of lemonade and iced tea. A woman sitting next to him overheard what he ordered and told the bartender, ‘I’ll have that Palmer drink’. From that moment on, this refreshing lemonade-iced tea beverage became known as an ‘Arnold Palmer’, and its name gradually spread throughout the golfing world and beyond into mainstream America [more via Tea for Tee]
