Description
The top Weinermobile is the one that was parked in front of the Milwaukee Museum of Art.
The lower Wienermobile was discovered in Madison, WIsconsin.
The upper one is definitely much smaller. There is a single seat in front and not much room for opassengers. This is probably a model that simply does publicity appearances.
The lower one is fairly roomy. The sign on the tail suggests this was a mobile office.

Wonder what they have for lunch?
such a funny weinermobil !! lol ... can you image going and picking up a dat in THAT??!!! LOL!!...wonderful shots of it!!
I think you've got a number of Non-U.S. fans or fans that are less than about 45. Every American Kid knew all about the Weiner Mobile and Little Oscar when it first appeared. I somewhere have a Weiner Whistle that I got from Little Oscar when my Dad took me to first see the Weiner Mobile when I was about 6 or 7 in the late fifties or early sixties. It was impressive in the commercials on TV but you only saw it in black and white. When you saw it in person, coming down the street in its bright red and yellow colors, everyone would just go wild with excitement!!! Then Little Oscar (a "midget" - we weren't politically correct enough back then to call him a "little person") would park and give out the wiener whistles while the supermarket would give out Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs during the promotion! Those were the days!!! Excellent Shots!!! Thanks!!!
That is just toooooo much. I think I saw one live way back when... not much cause to send one to a small town in PA.
Thanks for the info, GreenSat. It occured to me as soon as I read Isacos' comment that I was forgetting what an international forum Redo is. For those elsewhere, Oscar-Mayer is an America meatpacker specialing is hotdogs/frankfurters, bologna, sausage, and precut sandwich meat. In the 1950s, they had a two-prong advertising campaign that burrowed into the America popular culture. One was the fleet of WeinerMobiles that traversed the country, as GreenSat described. The other was That Jingle-- "Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer weiner/ That is what I truly wish to be-ee-ee/ 'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer weiner/ Everyone would be in love with me!"
Oh!!!!!!!!!!! Fun stuff!!!! I remember seeing them on television, but never saw one up close! How cool!!!! And to think there are two versions, cool!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Oh my goodness! I have had the Oscar Mayer Weiner song stuck in my head for DDAAYYSSS Thanx for the refreshment :-S Great job :-P
Here's the antidote, Lashia, the inevitable kid parody that actually got incorporated into an Oscar Mayer tv spot-- "Oh I'm glad I'm NOT an Oscar Mayer weiner/ That is what I'd never want to be-ee-ee/'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer weiner/ There would soon be nothing left of me!"
Ahhh... only in Wisconsin!!! Thanks Dave!
I swear the old model was the one I saw in front of the neighborhood supermarket when I was a kid - had to be circa 1961. Got my Wiener Whistle that day from a guy in an Oscar Meyer ball cap, but no free frankfurter or Little Oscar. David, for a young guy, you certainly know how to capture the 50s & 60s.
I've scene the WB, and I love it:) Fun pictures:)
I think the bun looks more tasty on the second vehicle! lol! And it was lurking in Wisconsin no less- original home of the mighty rock band, Killdozer!! Demented vehicle, nice!
I ahte to say it but I remember the original wienermobile and the whistle
