I spotted this li’l Wiener pedal car at the local flea market. Nope, I didn’t buy it- but I took pictures to prove it exists!
Apparently these were distributed through special promotions and mail order in the mid-to-late 90’s. Further Googling shows that there was a recall on the decals because they were chock full o’ lead. Perhaps it’s best that this is “the one that got away”!

After taking a ride in the real thing, I love anything and everything having to do with this wiener and this mode of transpotation.
I wonder what year this was made? The plastic and decals look newer. It’s not like this thing will ever go out of style though. If I were a kid this is the only vehicle I’d want to drive.
I can’t believe they didn’t include the “RELISH ME” license plate the real Wienermobile has.
