Oscar Mayer Wienermobile

Wienermobile bank, ?, China,
1990's
One of the icons of Americana is the hot dog, and no better and weirder item to represent this national fast food as the Wienermobile.

There have been a number of those around, the first one made in 1936 - in order to promote the Oscar Mayer brand in the USA. The futuristic design of this vehicle made it go all the way to the Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan, where it is one of the most fotographed attractions.
