the front end looked like this:
This is a 1937 Maple Leaf (Canadian Chevrolet) with a Landry half track conversion.
Joseph-Adalbert Landry (usually abbreviated as JA Landry) of Mont-Joli, Quebec was one of the three most influential inventors of snowmobiles
Thanks Steve and Billy
Mont-joly is in Quebec, what they bas St-Laurent,Gaspesia, they did not plow the roads until mid 1960, people used to put their car away for winter time.

thank you! With the info from the PDF, Steve was able to pull up the patents, and so I posted them in large scale
DeleteHow about Adolphe Kégresse, and the vehicles he built for Tsar Nicholas II between 1906 and 1916.

I'm sorry, I just don't have the will to deep dive into "how about". It's been a bitch of a day, and to explain that I just post what I find, I'm too tired..
DeleteI bet you were too, or you'd have told me that Kegresse did invent the snow mobile, or that my lack of research is clear now that you're looking at something a couple decades earlier, but you might have noticed I didn't research anything, it was a post and push off, then I got sent the patents.
Seriously, I know I posted about 40 other machines older that the 1937 Shell fuel tanker https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/snow%20machines
So, I'm aware that others exist, have poste them, don't want to research the topic.
I'm only here for the fun, don't ask me to work, or do a masters thesis on comparative inventions on different continents and who did what when and how that shows the indifference of Americans to inventions outside our continents, just like giving the Wright Brothers credit for inventing the airplane, years after Santo (can't recall his name) who I think was from Argentina.
ugggggg
I'm not here to work, though sometimes /I'm here working a LOT quite pointlessly, because I'm having fun
but really, I want you to blog about it, or someone, I just wanna read someone else's analysis or the topic so I can get their take on it and find something to enjoy in it, a couple photos to post, and a link so I can let people know where I found the fun stuff
