Re: Suddenly I want to start smoking
And - it's a REAL Zippo!
OT, but this is interesting - the recreation of the '47 Zippo Car: http://joesinteriors.com/Zippo-Car.html
I also found it owns the honored W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, a maker of cutlery and knives that goes back to 1889.
I carried the same Zippo from Army days in the early '60s until at least the '80s (gave up smoking in '02).

Re: Suddenly I want to start smoking
Was there any other cars with the same shift pattern ever made? Did the Civic 4wd Wagon have a similar gearshift?

Re: Suddenly I want to start smoking
The Civic 4wd was very different, no EL and 4wd shift lever, it used a push button and a solenoid on the trans. I seem to remember the shift pattern was a bit different too (it used a transverse engine/trans install with a cable linkage). I owned one for a while, decided I like the Tercel better even though the Civic engine is better than the Tercel engine.
It is very curious to me a "made in USA" Zippo would have the label of the name of the car that only sold in Europe and elsewhere, and they did not make one for the North American version of the car.

Check out this part of "The Zippo story":Petros wrote:It is very curious to me a "made in USA" Zippo would have the label of the name of the car that only sold in Europe and elsewhere, and they did not make one for the North American version of the car.
SORRY - I could not find the link again - basically, it stated that a huge market for Zippo is Japan (Like Harley-Davidson is prized in Japan - go figure...) and it has a huge marketing effort in customizing lighters for sales promotions.
And then - check out this link (I did not get too creative):
SORRY - I had a link to the "Customize your Zippo" completion page for "my" lighter, but found it could take you to my monitor - not a good idea...
So, you will have to put up with the poor quality photo of my monitor.
But you get the idea.

Re: Suddenly I want to start smoking
I heard the Civic 4WD had a similar one called Super Low or SL...
