The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has been covered before, but here is a short television item on Wienermobile driver training. It includes a brief history of the vehicles.
For 2023 the Wienermobiles have been re-named Frankmobiles. According to this item, a Wiener is a sausage made from different meats, while a Frank is made from a single meat, in this case beef.
The new drivers, in teams of two, spend a year driving across America in these giant American Hot Dogs. Wow.
Have you ever seen one of these cars?

We passed one last weekend. It was heading north towards Boston on Interstate 95.

Saw some of the early ones toolin' around Milwaukee during the 1950s & '60s. I've seen the modern one a couple of times here at Nellis AFB
