Zippo Lighter Hot Rod Design Matte Finish ZP48660

The Zippo Hot Rod Design Matte Finish lighter is a revved-up nod to classic American car culture, roaring straight out of the golden age of chrome and horsepower. Featuring a full-color, all-over red and black hot rod illustration against a white background, this lighter brings bold nostalgia to life in true Zippo style. Whether you’re a gearhead, a vintage enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates the rumble of a V8 and the scent of motor oil, this lighter captures that retro thrill and puts it right in your pocket.

As part of Zippo’s Nostalgia collection, the Hot Rod design taps into an era when drive-ins, drag races, and weekend wrenching were a way of life. It’s loud in all the right ways—with vivid colors, sweeping lines, and that unmistakable ‘50s hot rod flair, the design wraps entirely around the lighter using Zippo’s cutting-edge 540 Color process. That means every inch, from top to bottom and side to side, is covered in high-octane artwork, turning a functional tool into a piece of rolling Americana.

The white matte base gives the design a clean, cool background that enhances the red and black details without overpowering them. It also adds a soft texture that feels great in your hand and helps resist fingerprints and daily wear. Whether you're showing it off or putting it to work, this lighter keeps its good looks mile after mile.

At 2.25 inches tall and weighing 2 ounces, it’s got the perfect size and balance for everyday carry. It slides easily into a pocket, glove box, or backpack without adding bulk. And like every Zippo lighter, it features that iconic flint-wheel ignition and distinctive click that’s been turning heads and lighting flames for generations.

Proudly made in the USA at Zippo’s factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania, this lighter is windproof, refillable, and built to last. Whether you’re lighting a bonfire at a car show, a cigar in the garage, or just want to add a little flair to your day, it’s ready to fire up with a dependable flame that doesn’t care about the weather. And with Zippo’s unmatched lifetime guarantee, if it ever stops working, they’ll fix it—no questions asked.

This isn’t just a lighter—it’s a tribute to roaring engines, open roads, and a time when style and speed went hand in hand. It's the kind of piece that sparks conversation, whether you’re swapping stories at the track or sharing a flame around the firepit.
