The "Wienermobile" is a automobile shaped like a hot dog that is used to advertise
Oscar Mayer products. I was created in 1936 by Oscar’s nephew, Carl G. Mayer. The
first model of the “Wienermobile”(top pic) rolled out of General Body Company’s  factory
in Chicago, Illinois on July 18, 1936. The cost of the promotional vehicle was $5000. The drivers of the “Wienermobile” are known as Hotdoggers and are still on the road today.
