Zipper Motorcars was founded by Darrell Zipp, a US Army veteran of the Vietnam War who worked as an artist before being hired by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth to work on Ed's "Chopper" magazine and later he was hired by the Revell Inc. model company working as their head of research and development. In the mid-70s, he started Traditional Street Rods in Newville, CA and then, in 1992 the Diamond Anniversary Deuce made its debut. From there people started calling the car and others that Zipp built a "Zipper".

This stunning 1934 roadster was donated to America On Wheels Museum and is now offered for sale to help sustain our educational Mission and Operations. According to information provided by the Donor, this Zipper was one of the first examples produced during the transition of the Zipper company being sold to Fiberblast Hotrods, which began in 2007.  The body is made by fiberglass and reinforced with steel.  It is powered by a chromed out 350ci V8, fed by 3 two-barrel carburetors, linked to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. The rear is a chromed Winters quick change version.  Tires are 24x7.50-15 on front and 31x12.5-15 on rear, mounted on 15-inch Weld Rodlite wheels.

A front straight all chromed dropped axle with a chromed 4 bar setup gives the Zipper a great stance as well as the four bar transverse leaf spring suspension setup with knee action shocks.  Brakes are Wilwood disc in all 4 wheels

The interior is finished in saddle brown leather, covering comfortable and well-designed seats. Inside, this Zipper is surprisingly roomy, presenting a complete and beautiful dashboard, with white faced gauges and chromed bezels.  Steering wheel is removable, and a B&M pistol grip aluminum shifter commands the transmission. Floors are carpeted in black color.
