We usually have a big antique snowmobile meet here in centeral N.H. but the pandemic screwed it up. There are usually a dozen modelT and model A snowmobiles that show up. Virgil Whites snowmobile wasn't the first Alvin lombard was the first with a patent in 1901. His first machines were steam powered,the later ones were gasoline and one Diesel.Heres a few pictures of my early gasoline Lombard Tractors,snowmobiles.Heres my Diesel lombard with my 1949 tucker snow-cat in the background. H eres my friend Dave Hiltz,s model T snowmobile,you wont find a better restored one !!!!
