At the Freyung OsterMarkt (Easter Market) next to the Austria fountain in old Vienna, this vintage truck suggests clues to Oscar Meyer's inspiration. Could this be the Viennese forerunner of the wiener wagon? From the truck's passenger-side sales counter, customers select wurst, salami, and ham that are displayed inside the vehicle. If only I were a Reschinsky, I'd be winding my way through Vienna's narrow lanes from behind the steering wheel instead of balancing on the front bumper!
