The Zippo Jeep®
The Zippo Jeep®, which was unveiled at the Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen International in August 2011, is an off-road powerhouse ready to take the Zippo adventure to even the most remote locations.
An original 2011 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited® was converted into the ultimate Zippo car by the West Coast Customs Team in Los Angeles, California. The conversion of the Zippo Jeep® was documented in season 2, episode 4, "American Icons", of the Discovery Channel program "Inside West Coast Customs",
showing how the extravagant modifications were installed. These include a complete lift kit, a compressor, a custom-made bumper and grille, LED lighting with flame simulation on the exterior of the vehicle, and a massive wind-resistant Zippo lighter in place of the standard spare tire holder.
The Zippo Jeep® travels across the country and promotes the full range of Zippo products at special events and music festivals.
In 2017, the Zippo Jeep® was modified to include a custom wrap design, red floor lights in the interior, Zippo taillight covers in the shape of a flame, and hidden interior projectors that display the Zippo logo on the ground. With all these new features, the Zippo Jeep® is the perfect place to interview the biggest rock stars as part of the Zippo Encore music festival.
When the Zippo Jeep® is not on the road, you can find it at the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
