The Snowbirds...

Winter is just around the corner... So I figure it's as good a time as any to start a Snowbird picture thread. What you say? I'll start it off...

Here's one that currently resides on South Bass Island / Put-in-Bay, Ohio...yes, there are islands in Ohio :-)

The sign claims it's a 1924 Model T "snowmobile" that was, "Built for the U.S. Government to deliver mail in Minnesota."

Just curious, how do people move the snowmobile Model A's around without any snow? Do they jack up the front end and put it on a dolly?

Here is the Model T Sno Bird that resides at the Fountainhead Antique Auto museum here in Fairbanks,Alaska. They get it out in the sprig and drive it at the winter carnival. http://www.fountainheadmuseum.com

There's an active branch of the Model T Ford Club of America upstate New York. These guys are an active bunch who can't wait for the snow to come. They are very often accompanied by similar people from New England.

Granted it's not a Model A but I thought this '32 is pretty cool,,it was used to pull snow skiers up to the top. HRP
