Book Description

Photo Gallery August 1, 2007

The Golden Age of snowmobile manufacturing was from 1968-1976 with a gradual slow down leading to 1982. During this time literally hundreds of snowmobile manufacturers sprung up and then disappeared.

This book is a look at all the most interesting, rare, or collectible snowmobiles from that time period. 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.

This book would be a benefit to anyone interested in sleds from this time period or looking to buy a more collectible sled from this era.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource for Collectible Snow Mobiles, August 8, 2009
This review is from: Vintage Snowmobiles: The Golden Years 1968-1982 (Photo Gallery) (Paperback)
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!

It was purchased for a friend and he just keeps raving and raving about the book. He showed it to several of his friends and they want to borrow it. This book was a great hit.

This review is from: Vintage Snowmobiles: The Golden Years 1968-1982 (Photo Gallery) (Paperback)
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.
