Wienermobile Making Special Stop at the
Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum!
AUBURN - We all know how the Oscar Mayer wiener song goes, but here's an
opportunity to see the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in Auburn. The Wienermobile
will be at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum Saturday, December 16 from 9
a.m. until 5 p.m. Everyone is invited to tour the world-famous Wienermobile
at no charge and those attending will receive a classic Oscar Mayer whistle
and receive a discount admission ticket to tour the Auburn Cord Duesenberg
Museum if they wish.
In 1936, Carl G. Mayer created the famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile vehicle.
First of its kind, the vehicle initially helped transfer the Oscar Mayer
spokesperson from store to store, promoting the company's high-quality
products and quickly setting Oscar Mayer apart from the competition. Today,
the Wienermobile vehicle can be seen across the country, spreading miles of
smiles to kids of all ages.
The Wienermobile boasts a GPS navigational system, sleek new interior and a
state-of-the-art audio center complete with wireless microphone system. It
is powered by a V-8, 6.0 liter 350 Vortec 5700 engine and is fully-loaded
with six mustard and catsup colored seats, blue-sky ceiling,
mustard-splattered walkways and carpet designed to look as if it came
ordered with "everything on it."
The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum exhibits over 120 classic, vintage,
antique and special interest cars in the 1930 art deco headquarters of the
former Auburn Automobile Company. The museum is open daily, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.,
except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. It is accredited
by the American Association of Museums and listed as a National Historic
Landmark.
