THE GREAT AMERICAN HOT DOG MACHINE


The Original Great American Hot Dog Machine (1976)

Before I built this, I had never even changed a spark plug.


It's a 750 Honda motor with 36 inch over stock Harley Davidson Wide Glide front end, Police Trike rear end, custom built "C" Cab body, custom built stainless steel hot dog steamer, ice chest, condiment rack, AM/FM/Cassette deck and chrome air horn, etc.

It took a little over 5 months from start to finish, including raising the money. The first body broke, the frame was cracked a number of times and it was wrecked when I ran into a rental car in San Francisco, throwing myself up onto the trunk.

Photo was shot in Stevens Creek Park while I kept watch for the Park Ranger...
