I think I'd quit a job to get a chance to drive the Weinermobile. What a fun job. Some years ago they came through my town and I tried to talk them into letting me take it around the block. Of course, they'd have no part of it.

A buddy of mine has driven them a few times, they are built on Freightliner chassis' and my buddy's shop has serviced them.

I was at the Tour de France last week. There were a lot of such funny cars in the publicity caravan which always arrives before the race.

I want one!!

When my youngest daughter was like 3-4 my wife would sing her to sleep, like “you are my sunshine”… one night my wife was out and my daughter asked me to sing her to sleep. I sang “I wish I was an Oscar Meyer wiener” and “my bologna has a first name…”. She loved it, and we sang those songs for years.

I want to buy a wiener mobile for her daily driver.

I too saw that one at the museum, I even bought an injection molded toy from the coin operated machine at the exhibit.
In the early sixties they used to drive down our street in Cincinnati...they threw out wiener whistles for us kids. Remember it like it was yesterday, what an advertising gold mine!

Funny, us old folks think of the Wiener mobile fondly. Kids now a days don't even give it a second glance. I don't remember the whistle or seeing it in
person on the streets. It use to come to the State Fair (Illinois) but they wouldn't let you get too close to it. I'm sure the one I saw wasn't this version.
