Description[]
The Wienermobile is a brandmobile used by American meat and cold cut producer Oscar Mayer since 1936 to promote their products. Shaped like a hot dog on a bun, the Wienermobile was conceived by Carl Mayer, nephew of Oscar. The current incarnation of the Wienermobile was introduced in 2008; its design dates back to 1995, designed by automotive designer Harry Bradley, coincidentally a former Hot Wheels designer and colloquially regarded as "the father of Hot Wheels". The current Wienermobile is built by Prototype Source of Santa Barbara, California; it is based on a GM W-Series chassis and is powered by a 6.0L GM Vortec V8. Drivers of the Wienermobile are named Hotdoggers, their jobs being to "meat and greet" people around the United States. A fleet of six Wienermobiles is maintained. The vehicle was briefly named the Frankmobile to promote the company's all-beef franks in 2023 before the name change was reverted four months later.
This casting does not fully resemble any of the Wienermobiles in service, past or present.
