The first Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was created in 1936. This is an example of the 10th generation, six of which were built in 2004 by Prototype Source of Santa Barbara, California. Based on a GMC W-Series chassis and powered by a 300-horsepower 6.0-liter Vortec 6000 V8 engine, it features gull-wing doors, voice-activated GPS navigation, an audio center with a wireless microphone, a horn that plays the Wiener Jingle in 21 different genres, and taillights from the 4th generation Pontiac Firebird. I saw it heading north on Interstate 5 near Salem, Oregon, on April 19, 2006.
