Cindy, I think your best bet would be to sell it on eBay. That way you'll cover both the jeep crowd and the cigarette lighter crowd (I don't know anything about that niche, if it exists at all). I've seen these priced from $50 to $150 depending on quality. I don't know the sellers finally get for a price though. If you are interested in having me sell it, just send me pics and a description and I'll list if for you (d@ewillys.com). - Dave

I need 4 replacement tires for this ashtray/lighter. My model is the Berlin Blockade jeep and ashtray. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Kim

do you know wher you could get the wheels for this item...my husband's mother just passed and this was given to him... it is perfect except the tires are no good wheels are great

Hi Becky, I'm unaware of any original tires available for this. Looking through eBay, it looks like the ones for sale have several different types of tires, suggesting to me people are finding tires off of toys and making them work. An internet search yielded a toy tire site; maybe something from there will work? https://classic-tin-toy-co.myshopify.com/collections/toy-replacement-tires-and-wheels-1
