Out of all of them, I have only seen the Greyhound bus in person. What happened to the Oscar Mayer trucks?

No Weiner control at all.

When I used to go to Philly, they had a fleet of 12 of them parked in the Oscar Mayer Plant. I haven't seen one in quite a while.

I saw one 3 or 4 years ago cruising down US75 in Dallas.

From Wiki....
"On February 11, 2008, a Wienermobile slid off U.S. Route 15 outside of Mansfield, Pennsylvania, due to icy conditions following a winter storm, along with several other vehicles, drawing moderate local media attention. There were no injuries, and the Wienermobile suffered only minor damage."
I assume the picture Pup posted matches the above description, unless this was a recent incident that hasn't made it to Wiki yet. Also worth noting...
"There are currently eight active Wienermobiles, six of which are the full-sized familiar models, and the other two are the Mini and the food truck versions, with each assigned a part of the country."

While cool looking they don't make a good truck or backhoe in that configuration. However as built it is faster than walking and faster than a shovel.
