Exciting news for hot dog lovers in Metro Detroit! The world-famous Wienermobile, a fantastic 27-foot-long vehicle shaped like a giant hot dog, is rolling into town from December 19 to December 22, 2024. It’s hard to believe that this iconic car, which has been delighting fans since it first hit the road in 1936, isn’t just an entertaining sight but actually traveling around the U.S. to promote Oscar Mayer products.
The Wienermobile was born from a creative idea by Oscar Mayer’s nephew back in the 1930s, and now there are just six of these fun-filled mobile hot dog-shaped vehicles zipping around the country. In fact, becoming a Hotdogger, or driver of the Wienermobile, is a highly sought-after position. With about 7,000 applicants each year, only 12 are selected to embark on this adventure, and they undergo extensive training before they hit the road.
This giant hot dog on wheels is packed with unique features that make it more than just a vehicle. It boasts a powerful V8 engine, a stunning 52-inch flat-screen TV, and even removable “bun roofs” for a fun twist on the traditional sunroof. Inside, you’ll find a hot dog-shaped dashboard and quirky “meat-belts” to keep passengers safe. Speaking of passengers, the Wienermobile has six mustard and ketchup-colored seats that can accommodate up to 12 people, plus there’s a unique “shot-bun” seat next to the driver!
One of the coolest aspects of the Wienermobile is its treasure trove of Wiener Whistles. With up to 11,000 of these iconic souvenirs on board, fans can take home a piece of the Wienermobile experience. You can expect the friendly Hotdoggers behind the wheel to hand out these tasty keepsakes while chatting about their adventures on the road.
For those who want to witness this outrageous hot dog firsthand, the Wienermobile will be making several stops during its visit to Metro Detroit. Mark your calendars for its first stop in Wayne County on Friday afternoon, December 20. Then on Saturday, it will be at the Henry Ford in Dearborn from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. And don’t miss out on the final stop on Sunday in Clinton Township at the Walmart Supercenter on Hall Road from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Getting up close and personal with the Wienermobile is guaranteed to evoke feelings of pure joy and nostalgia. Many folks often recall their childhood memories of seeing this funky vehicle, and now is your chance to create new memories! The stops often include fun “meat-and-greet” events where families can take pictures and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Each year, the Wienermobile embarks on countless adventures. From serving as a quirky getaway car for weddings to making an appearance at parades, every journey is an opportunity to spread smiles and good cheer. It has even participated in the famous St. Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago! Can you imagine all the fun that awaits you when you spot this unusual vehicle?
So this December, keep your eyes peeled and get ready to say “hi” to the Wienermobile. It’ll be a wiener of a time, and trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
