1926 Ford Snowmobile


		1926 Ford Snowmobile

	This early type of snowmobile is a far cry from the machines of the 1990s. But, if in the 1920s you had to get about in snow country, this conversion of the versatile Model T Ford was a good choice. It was invented in 1913 by Virgil D. White, of Ossipee, New Hampshire, who suggested to a Wisconsin Ford dealer that selling the conversion with a car was a good way to sell both and make extra profit on the left over parts!
