Today may be the 90th anniversary of the Wienermobile. According to some unreliable sources (and the semi-reliable HuffPo), the first one rolled off the production line at the General Body Assembly plant in Chicago on 18 July 1936 🧵 www.huffpost.com/entry/my-rid...
1960s or 70s colour photo of a weinermobile – a yellow/beige car/truck chassis with a huge sausage-shaped body mounted on it. The car says ‘yellow band weiners’ on the side, and the disconcertingly red sausage has a yellow band on it that reads Oscar Mayer
