Seeing a demand for reliable and effective winter transportation, at a time before common four wheel drive and plowed roads, Virgil D White of Ossipee New Hampshire invented the first snowmobile ever by converting a Buick car by adding sleds and tracks. By the early 1920s the snowmobile design was in full production this time exclusively for the Ford Model T runabout, TT, and other body styles. And for around half a decade these curious machines were pumped out and sold to those in less than fair climates. So yes, the fist snowmobile ever sold to the public is in fact the Ford model T, the Tin Lizzy. Be sure to checkout the the Model T Snowmobile Club! Our Facebook:
