Wienermobile Historical Highlights
According to Wienermobile Rolling Through History In 1936 Carl Mayer, nephew of the company’s founder, came up with the idea of a 13- foot metal hot dog on wheels to transport the company spokesperson. General Body Company of Chicago, Illinois, designed the first Wienermobile, which featured open cockpits in the center and rear. It was a common sight on the streets of Chicago as it promoted Oscar Mayer “German-style Wieners.”
In 1952 the Wienermobile made a triumphant return as five new vehicles hit the streets of America. Designed by Gerstenslager of Wooster, Ohio, and built on a Dodge chassis, the 22-foot-long hot dogs were the first to have a sound system and sunroof. A 1952 Wienermobile is currently on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
In 1988, six new 23-foot-long fiberglass hot dogs on wheels, toured the country in style. They featured microwave ovens, refrigerators, cellular phones, and stereo systems that played 21 versions of the Oscar Mayer Wiener Jingle.
