Thermosmobile

Last updated

The American Thermos Bottle of Norwich, Connecticut commissioned one of the first brandmobiles, predating the Wienermobile by 27 years, to promote the company's vacuum bottles. Built on a Model TT Ford chassis, the vehicle debuted in the Vanderbilt Cup Race in 1909 alongside other promotional vehicles. [1] The vehicles traveled political, sporting and other events to promote the company's products from 1909 to 1925.

Two Thermosmobiles are known to exist and are on display at the Golden Age of Trucking Museum in Middlebury, Connecticut and the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum in Colonial Heights, Virginia [2]
