Mayer Wienermobile - A traveling microbus shaped and colored
like a huge hot dog used by the Oscar Mayer Foods since the 1930s to
advertise their processed meat products.
Traditionally, the Oscar
Mayer Wienermobile carried a tiny driver in a white chef's hat
called "Little Oscar." The most famous "Little Oscar" chef was
portrayed by George Molchan.
The Wienermobile's were at their height of
popularity in the 1950s and 1960s when they cruised across the
country appearing in parades, in supermarket parking lots, and other
sites like hospitals, and schools - handing out such promotional
items as "wiener whistles."
