DXN-Schuylerville said Excellent pictures and historical details, strong resource for anyone considering buying an older sled. A+. This is a very fun book for fans of vintage snowmobiles. As I glance through the pages it occurs to me that vintage sleds are either the ugliest machines ever conceived, or the coolestbeauty will be in the eye of the beholder! The book is well-written and includes tons of great photos and brief historical sketches on all the main brands. The section on Ski-Doo and Arctic Cat was very good. There's also a lot of good info on racing sleds. This is very helpful reference if you're considering buying an older snowmobile, as I have done. There are many good deals out there, and many of these machi. Roger Corea said A Great Resource for Collectible Snow Mobiles. Collecting vintage snow mobiles is becoming a popular hobby. Looking back at the inception of the snow mobile and learning about the first machines is very interesting. This book has some wonderful pictures of them and has a very informative narrative. Anyone interesting in building snow mobile collection can't live without this book!. D. Langemo said Great primer on vintage snowmobiles. I thoroughly enjoy this book. It's got lots of great photos and brief descriptions of a wide array of sleds-both well-known and obscure. Don't expect it to list every model from every maker there ever was-no single volume could do that. But what the book does deliver is a good cross-section of the many interesting sleds that were produced during the first boom years of snowmobiling in North America. This is an easy-reading picture-book so attractive that even some of my friends and family with little experience or interest in snowmobiles got drawn into it. I highly recommend it.
The big names like Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo, Yamaha, John Deere, Scorpion, Snow-Jet, Mercury, Rupp, Moto-Ski, to the many small-company brands like Allied, Boa Ski, Chaparral, Evinrude, Harley Davidson, Johnson, Polaron, Sears, Skiroule, Sno Prince, Viking, and even includes a chapter of collectible racing snowmobiles in the hobby, like the 1977 Arctic Cat Z that turned Arctic Cats racing program around, and treasures like a 1973 Chaparral grass drag sled or a 1974 Roll-O-Flex called The Wild One.
