Miles of Smiles #WordlessWednesday

Here's a delightful piece of Americana.

I'm introducing you, dear reader, to a vehicle shaped like a hot dog which is driven around the United States.  Not only that, but people compete for the chance to be able to drive it around our country for a year.

Sure, why not?  It gives out (one of their slogans) Miles of Smiles.

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile visited our area at the end of January.  The vehicle (obviously, this isn't the original) have been entertaining adults and children since 1936.

Here it is in all its beauty.
Its back.
What it's looked like through the years.
This is as close as I could get to the driver's side.  Here's more views and a history if you are interested.  I wish they had been offering tours. I was like a little kid.

Fun facts about the Wienermobile.


And a short video.

Joining with Sandee at Comedy Plus and her #WordlessWednesday.

  3. Mary and I were staying in a hotel in Chicago once, and parked outside our window was the Wienermobile. It was the high point of our lives.

  4. It came to the county fair several times when I lived in CA. We still have a couple of the Wienermobile whistles they gave out.
