They've made new ones over the years.

There are six currently operating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wienermobile

In 1969, new Wienermobiles were built on a Chevrolet motor home chassis and featured Ford Thunderbird taillights. The 1969 vehicle was the first Wienermobile to travel outside the United States.[citation needed]

In 1976, Plastic Products, Inc., built a fiberglass and styrofoam model, again on a Chevrolet motor home chassis.[citation needed]

In 1988, Oscar Mayer had a fleet of six Wienermobiles built by noted industrial designer Brooks Stevens using converted Chevrolet van chassis.[citation needed]

In 1995, a new version increased the size of the Wienermobile to a length of 27 feet (8.2 m) and a height of 11 feet (3.4 m).[3] This version also included the upgraded large parallelogram windows which could now open, as designed by Sheldon Theis.[citation needed]

In 2004, the Wienermobile included a voice-activated GPS navigation device, an audio center with a wireless microphone, a horn that plays the Wiener Jingle (in 21 different genres from Cajun to Rap to Bossa Nova), according to American Eats,[clarification needed] and sports fourth generation Pontiac Firebird taillights.[citation needed]

I’ve been through it at least a thousand times.

It was sweet in Summer in the 1980s when the level on both sides was the same.

Both gates were open and you didn’t have to stop.

They stopped allowing that later because the Corps was the Corps.
