Fedex does it. All Trucking companies do it. Many florists, transportation services, sign companies, contractors and many others. It is a pretty standard way of advertising. My father is a claims adjuster for Farmer's Insurance (one of the largest insurance companies in the US and owned by Zurich International) and they have advertising lithographed on the side of the cars. You get exposed to over 20,000 advertising messages every day. I would suspect almost half if not more is from advertising on vehicles.

Now, with a license plate frame or cheesy peel off graphics, it might not be as affective but if you use professional applied lithographs, vinal appliques or magnetic sign boards, it is very professional.

Hmm I've never visited a web site I saw advertised on the side of a car. Usually forget all about it by the time I'm back near a computer

Just make sure you're not promoting a drink recipe website on your car

well, yeah, company cars do it. But I'm talking about seeing a car at Wal-Mart that's advertising a business.

I have been asked many times at walmart what my site is all about, hand them a card. Some of the people who have asked in the parking lot will come back to me in the store and ask more questions. There is a parking spot that I look for when I go there it's in a side lot but up a litte bit higher and the back of my truck can be seen over the top of the cars below it.

Can you track those questions to sales, registrations and/or further income?

and my guess is, this technique works better for small B2C businesses than B2B

Wayne was this asked of me? Sorry I missed it, in the first site it's registrations, I hope with the launch of the new site it will be sales, registrations and further income.
