Video of 1924 concept snow vehicle using Fordson tractor

Andrew Norton

My dad sent me this in an email last week, but I have to give credit to SeekingMichigan.org for posting this excellent footage at Vimeo. If you want to find all kinds of unique historic information and other assorted goodies about Michigan, check it out. This 1924 video showcases the Armstead Snow Motors concept vehicle utilizing both a Fordson tractor and a Chevrolet automobile. I like the rugged utility of the Fordson tractor mashup. I could have a lot of fun with one of those. I can't believe they never went into mass production. You would have thought the military could have made use of them in the winter campaign of 1944-45 in World War II, but perhaps politics and pettiness kept that from happening.
