Shaped from a trolley car chassi, the SPAMMOBILE is the world's first SPAM can on wheels Built in Fresno, California, the SPAMMOBILE is a full-service mobile kitchen that prepares thousands of free SPAMBURGER Hamburger samples at popular events across the country. Since 1937, more than 5 billion cans of SPAM® luncheon meat have made their way to the American dinner table. The brand has its own Web site, www.spam.com; its own fan club; its own direct order mail catalog; a place in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, as well as the Library of Congress; and will soon move into a new 16,000 square-foot SPAMTM MUSEUM scheduled to open in 2001. The greatly expanded museum area will include interactive video screens and kiosks as well as a planned history walk with exhibits and displays which follow the company's progression from its founding in 1891.
A state-of-the-art auditorium, accommodating 100 people, is designed to allow for corporate video presentations to visiting tour bus groups who will also have the option of enjoying specially prepared SPAMBURGER® hamburgers or other SPAM® luncheon meat specialties in an adjacent diner area.
