I am just having a lunch in an illegally-opened restaurant in Prague (all restaurants are required to be closed because of the covid government hysteria) and I want to say you hello. Keep fighting, pedes.

Can you still trade your jeans for a car?
If the car is old eastern german plastic Trabant in very bad shape and the jeans are new and high quality made in USA, then may be. In fact my father, when visiting Russia in the 70's, traded his old jeans for a very big bag of high quality georgian (Soviet Georgia) tea.
I just remember seeing that on a Levi's commercial back in the 90s lol
In communist Czechoslovakia, jeans were never so valuable. You could not buy them in normal stores, but you could buy jeans and other western goods in special markets called Tuzex. Tuzex markets used special currency, which was officially available only to communist officials and people having income in foreign (western) currency (such as artists performing in the west etc.) - the western currency was taken away by the state and replaced with this Tuzex currency. However, anybody could buy this Tuzex currency on the illegal black market.
In Russia however, it was much harder.
