arcticbuicks Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) yes it is a silver ghost.......and the Russians converted it to tracks and skis for the Russian leader,a french military engineer by the name of Adolfe Kegresse [who was also the personal driver for the tsar] designed the modifications.......he was the inventor of half tracks and dual clutch transmissions Edited November 5, 2023 by arcticbuicks (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The earliest known propeller-driven sleigh is credited to Igor Sikorsky (1889-1972) who, before he became famous for his helicopter designs, was seen in late 1909 motoring through the snow-packed streets of Kiev – not in an early automobile, but in a propeller-powered sleigh with a rear-mounted engine. This Buick was photographed in Standish, Michigan, on January 12, 1911. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I bet that Dodge van is real. Being it has the driver, the reflection of the tracks in the body as well as the snow blowing around. If it's AI, it's high quality along the lines of movie making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcticbuicks Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 @nata 'wood gasifier' unit .......Norway and Sweeden were cut of from fuel in the war i understand ......and they came up with the wood gasifier units.....to charcoalize fairly green cut wood and the gases piped to the carb and the gas engine would run ......but not much power ......for about 10 miles on a woodbox full,Volvo and others produced tens of thousands of units 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that being on local TV every year. Was a big deal then. I have a co-worker whos dad did this in the early 70's. Fred Jillson. Factory Chaparral rider. Raced all over the country on snow and grass tracks in the summer. Him and his crew pretty much invented IFS for snowmobiles back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
