there are actually four of em. they mostly go out in the spring a summer time if i rember right
I remember this from when I was a kid. They came to the local grocery store and gave a way little whistles that drove my Mom crazy. The whistles were shaped like the wienermobile. Nice capture.
You've got a weiner dude.
I saw these any number of times back in the late 40's, and during the 50's. Have not seen one for a number of years; however, they are still being used according the info. detailed on the following link:

Haven't seen the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile in years!! Thanks for sharing.
Friend of mine drove one for Summer job during college. Went to parades, grocery stores, youth centers, etc. Was a lot of fun first two weeks of a ten week job. Pay was good.
Have you noticed how the price of wieners has gone up with the price of gas? What's in 'em that's so expensive anyway?

Hey, is that vehicle being driven by ex congressman Anthony Wiener? 8-)
I could see this as a Bob Newhart comedy sketch: Occupation please? Wiener driver.
I actually saw a show I think it was called something like "You get paid to do that" and they featured the college kids that get to drive the wiener mobile. They are actually only hired for one year stints.
There is also a Oscar Meijer Wiener mobile at the Henry Ford Museum in Deerborn, Mi.
